via TidBITS (@TidBITS@mastodon.social): How to Turn Off Smart TV “Automatic Content Recognition”
Smart TVs use automatic content recognition (ACR) to screenshot everything you watch twice per second, sending data back for targeted advertising — regardless of whether content comes from cable, streaming, or a game console. The Markup provides instructions for turning ACR off on Roku, Samsung, and LG TVs, though it takes between 10 and 37 clicks depending on the platform.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Common mistakes with Rust Async
A practical guide to common pitfalls in async Rust, starting with the often-overlooked issue of task cancellation. The Qovery team shares hard-won lessons about how async tasks can be stopped at any await point, leading to subtle bugs like counters that never decrement. A valuable read for anyone working with Tokio and async Rust in production.
via Luca Palmieri (@algo_luca@hachyderm.io): We all talk so much about why you should adopt Rust.
A practical guide for engineering leaders looking to introduce Rust into their organizations. Covers team building, upskilling strategies, and scaling — focusing on the often-overlooked management perspective rather than the usual individual contributor advocacy angle.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Introducing FireDBG - A Time Travel Visual Debugger
FireDBG is a time travel visual debugger for Rust that captures function call trees, arguments, and return values, then lets you navigate backward and forward through program execution. Instead of littering code with println! statements, it visualizes the entire control flow as an interactive call tree. A fascinating approach to making Rust debugging more intuitive.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Linus on Rust in the Linux kernel (December 2023)
Linus Torvalds sits down with Dirk Hohndel for a wide-ranging keynote conversation at the Open Source Summit. Always interesting to hear Linus’s unfiltered thoughts on the state of Linux, development practices, and the open-source ecosystem.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): On inheritance and why it’s good Rust doesn’t have it
Jimmy Hartzell continues his series on why Rust is beyond object-oriented programming, tackling inheritance — the most problematic of OOP’s three pillars. He makes a compelling case that inheritance’s appeal is largely based on misleading textbook examples (shapes, animals) that have little to do with real-world programming, and explains why Rust deliberately omits it in favor of better composition patterns.
via Mara Bos (@Mara@hachyderm.io): 🦀 New #rustlang blog post! “Behind the Scenes of Rust String Formatting: format_args!()”
A deep dive into how Rust’s format_args!() macro and fmt::Arguments type work behind the scenes. Mara Bos explores the current implementation, its trade-offs in structure size, code size, and runtime overhead, and brainstorms potential future improvements. A fascinating look at one of Rust’s most ubiquitous but underappreciated building blocks.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Common Rust Lifetime Misconceptions (2020)
An excellent and thorough walkthrough of common misconceptions about Rust lifetimes. Covers key misunderstandings such as confusing lifetimes with scopes, thinking lifetimes can grow or shrink at runtime, and misunderstanding the relationship between T, &T, and &mut T with respect to lifetime bounds. A must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Rust’s ownership model.
via Matthias Endler (@mre@mastodon.social): If you don’t run parallel rustc yet, give it a shot. Nice perf boost on modern hardware.
The Rust compiler is gaining parallel front-end compilation support, which should help improve compile times for large Rust projects. This has been a long-awaited improvement in the Rust ecosystem.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): mem_dbg is a crate to recursively compute the memory usage of a data structure or print its layout
A Rust crate for measuring and displaying the memory usage of data structures, providing both the actual heap memory consumption and the capacity-based memory usage. Useful for profiling and optimizing memory in Rust applications.
via nrc (@nrc@hachyderm.io): Blog post: A response to ‘A decade of developing a programming language’. https://www.ncameron.org/blog/a-response-to-a-decade-of-developing-a-programming-language/
Nick Cameron, a long-time Rust contributor, responds to a blog post about a decade of programming language design. He shares thoughtful opinions on gradual typing, simplicity vs. expressivity in type systems, error handling design, and the tension between language complexity and usability.
via Stefan Judis (@stefan@front-end.social): A clear visual demonstration of why oklch() should replace hsl() for CSS color palettes: when you rotate the hue angle, oklch() maintains consistent perceived lightness while hsl() can shift dramatically. The interactive examples make the difference immediately obvious.
via David Bauer (@davidbauer@mastodon.social): Today 10 years ago, I put a little game online: https://www.youdontknowafrica.com/
A fun geography game that challenges you to locate African countries on a map, name them from memory, or identify their flags. A humbling reminder of how little most of us know about the world’s second-largest continent.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Rust global variables, two years on
A thorough update on the state of global variables in Rust. With Mutex::new() now being const and OnceLock in the standard library, many common patterns that previously required external crates like once_cell or lazy_static now work out of the box. A great reference for anyone working with Rust globals.
via C & C++ Weekly (@c_discussions@mastodon.social): Idiomatic Rust (for C++ Devs): Constructors and Conversions
A thorough guide mapping C++ constructor patterns to idiomatic Rust equivalents. Covers initialization, default construction, conversions, copy/move semantics, and the From/Into traits, making it useful for anyone transitioning to Rust from C++ or similar languages.

Two decades ago, my life changed forever: hearing #BruceSchneier explain that “#security” doesn’t exist in the abstract. You can only be secure from some threat. A fire alarm won’t protect you from burglaries. A condom won’t protect you from mass shootings. It seems obvious, but how often do we hear about “security” without any mention of who is being made secure, and from which threat?
via Mike Bowler: I’ve noticed anecdotally that for a development team, as WIP goes down, quality goes up. I’m thinking my way through how I would visualize that and any suggestions are welcome. I can easily pull WIP numbers out of Jira (all my clients use Jira — sigh). The trick is how to measure quality. Pulling number of bugs entered into Jira can be done but absence of bugs doesn’t prove quality. SonarQube has some technical quality data but quality is more than just code.

Via Matt Weagle: First, when you implement RFCs, you will be introducing friction to your team. Instead of going straight to building, we are required to think and write about what we’ll build. Friction brings frustration. Our industry has convinced us that programmers are supposed to be writing code for as much time as possible, leading to negative sentiments to practices that keep programmers away from their editors.

StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon’s verification system in a clever way. Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you’ve found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.

You can now comment on blog posts on Coding with Jesse! I turned off comments years ago, because I was getting tons of spam. But recently, with my return to social media, I decided to integrate Mastodon to give people a way to comment on and interact with my articles.
For years I’ve seen people moan that “nobody blogs any more,” all while my feed reader was overflowing with new blogposts I never had time to read. I want to demonstrate that there are lots and lots of people blogging, about all kinds of subjects!
