I'm getting timeout errors (408) when pushing new crates to crates.io. Has anyone being experiencing similar issues?

Version 0.8.0 of the Wild linker is out. This release brings lots of new features and bug fixes as well as some performance improvements. The benchmarks page now has more benchmarks on it and also now compares the performance of the last few Wild releases. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

What is maintenance, anyway? - by Jakub Beránek
https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2026/01/12/what-is-maintenance-anyway/
"This work is crucial to ensure the long-term health of constantly evolving codebases. And it also has a strong second-order effect. By unblocking other Rust contributors, new features and improvements can be landed quicker and more frequently, which in turns unblocks and improves the lives of #Rust users, which results in a positive feedback cycle. This is a multiplicative effect that strongly benefits everyone!"
I have been looking for a programming language for simple (cross platform) CLI tools for a long time. Professionally I use #Java, which I accept now as the safest choice for serious enterprise stuff. I have tried #Typescript but after a long stint I have decided to say goodbye to the Javacript ecosystem for anything but Frontend. Now on #Go and #Rust, leaning towards the latter. I won’t consider #Python (sorry). I could just use Java for everything. Anyone want to weigh in?
Guys, don't be afraid of LLMs taking your job as a Software Engineer.
If it can't even get a moving average right - an algorithm so popular and simple - we're save.
It really is the opposite! As Cory Doctorow has said: in a few years they'll need the best "asbestos cleaners" in the world, because we're currently shoving it into our digital infrastructure with #LLMs!
And do you know how you can tell pretty much immediately that this function is wrong? Answer in second toot
1/2
It is because of the `map` operator on the collection we want to create the moving average (MA) on:
The resulting collection of a MA is smaller _by definition_ than the collection the MA is applied on!
`map` will create a collection of the _same_ length, so this algorithm is wrong.
I'm so tired of this shit!
If you want to read good source material for this algorithm:

(Oh, and how ironic that #LLMs get #statistics wrong... 🙃)

📷 Photography Portfolio Feature - "Industrial Decay"
The onward march of technology and innovation never halts. These abandoned places were once the pinnacle of technological perfection. As decades pass they are superseded and forced into closure. Once-bustling hives of activity fall silent and cold.

In 2026, my main focus is the https://codeberg.org/minipgp6/ #OpenPGP stack.
#minipgp6 is a very small implementation of a minimal modern subset of OpenPGP, in #Rust.
The project aims to be both a comprehensive introduction to OpenPGP (for anyone who wants to approach the ecosystem from the shallow end) as well as practically useful software for contexts that don't require backward-compatibility with legacy formats.
(Many thanks to @nlnet for supporting this project!)

Old timer! Does anyone know what model car this is? Left in the forest of Sweden, once part of a large junkyard. Now, reclaimed by nature 🌲

![A (wrong!) moving average function in Rust that Claude Opus 4.5 has spit out:
/// Smoothed similarity using a moving average
pub fn smooth_similarities(similarities: &[f32], window_size: usize) -> Vec<f32> {
if similarities.is_empty() {
return Vec::new();
}
let half_window = window_size / 2;

.iter()
.enumerate()
.map(|(i, _)| {
let start = i.saturating_sub(half_window);
let end = (i + half_window + 1).min(similarities.len());
let window = &similarities[start..end];
window.iter().sum::<f32>() / window.len() as f32
})
.collect()
