Tor Ditches C for Rust and Your Privacy Benefits
After decades of buffer overflows and memory corruption bugs in C Tor, Arti 1.8.0 advances the Rust rewrite with smarter circuit timeouts and relay infrastructure progress.

This is why #Rust is not only about memory safety/performance, but about correctness 👇
Did you know that in #JavaScript when `fetch`ing the same Request/Response twice will error (when containing a body)!?
It is because bodies are Streams, which can only be read once! You can clone the Request/Response/Body, but this comes with its own caveats (in the worst case the clone will buffer the body fully in memory!).
#RustLang solves this by borrow checking and good API design...

🏭Industrial masterpiece. In the 1930s, this behemoth machine was, at the time, the biggest gas engine ever built! Now it stands rusting and abandoned inside an old power plant somewhere in Luxembourg.

In the Wild linker, we make extensive use of rayon for parallelism. In some places, we process graphs or do other work that doesn't fit neatly into rayon's par_iter. In this post, I explore some of the different approaches we've used and some of their issues as well as discuss possible future options.

Update on that #rust #tts #grpc service. TTS is far more complicated than I imagined even using #ai (machine learning) models. I assumed I'd have to process the text, for the model, but it's coming up that I need more processing than expected.
1. Split it up into sentences
2. Pass it through a phonemizer (phonetic/sound versions of the text)
3. Process the phonemes for the model
4. Run the model to actually generate the speech
I'm gonna have to write a blog post about this when I get done

Apparently Cloudflare was taken down by a single `Result::unwrap` in their #Rust code

Ha, someone has beaten me to it 
handy - the free and open source app for speech to text
Looks really awesome!
I've started a new #rust project that may or may not end up seeing use at work. I'm trying to do it on my own as #foss if possible.
Idea is to have a simple containerized service that accepts text and streams back the audio using #tts models like KittenNanoTTS.
Anyone have specific rust advice on using grpc to stream, or on consuming models in rust?

@Ciantic Ok, I think you want to look into @slint
From their website:
"The #Slint runtime fits in less than 300KiB RAM, features a reactive property system, and is built with #Rust."
They support the Winit backend, so Wayland...✅
https://docs.slint.dev/latest/docs/slint/guide/backends-and-renderers/backend_winit/
...and all kinds of platforms:

Have a look at Material Toolkit:
