👻🚂Locomotive graveyard. Lebanon’s ghost train stations stand frozen in time and choked by unchecked plant growth.
The first railway opened in 1895 under the Ottoman Empire. It ran from Beirut to Damascus. By the 1930s, Lebanon had joined the Orient Express network via the Taurus Express link through Homs.
After decades of decline and wartime damage, the final train service ran in 1990.

How uv got so fast: https://nesbitt.io/2025/12/26/how-uv-got-so-fast.html
"uv is fast because of what it doesn’t do, not because of what language it’s written in."

As a C++ programmer, this article really raised a lot of interesting points.
IMO, one of the things the C++ community has actually become slowly better at is accepting new ideas.
#Rust really shook things up, but I'd say C++ has started to learn from rust, if not the core language then the idioms.
So I don't think C++ will be going exactly the same route as #Perl, but this should work as a cautionary tale not to.

Old 1890s pump house, filled with rusted pipes. Algae and ferns add a fantastic pop of green, breathing life back into this space. Somewhere in Luxembourg.

This is an abomination of a #Rust code base (not sure if you can even call it that).

It's pure vibe-coded slop. I've always wondered what it would look like. Now I know, thanks.
Here's the accompanying article by the "author":
The article is quite funny, because you can't really tell if the author is actually serious or just trolling.

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