CW: Racism and educational tests
"Yerkes declared that ... the tests measured innate intelligence rather than education. “It behooves us to consider their reliability and their meaning, for no one of us as a citizen can afford to ignore the menace of race deterioration”."
The racist past - and present - of standardised tests in the US, by Deborah Blum in Undark.

Yemek yerken neye uğradıklarını şaşırdılar! Patlayan lastik tozu dumana böyle kattı: Yalova'nın Çınarcık ilçesine bağlı Esenköy beldesinde dün akşam meydan gelen olayda, Liman Mahallesi sahilinde bulunan bir restoranın önünden geçen kamyonun arka lastiği patladı.
Patlama restoran önünde ve içinde tozu dumana kattı. duman ve toz içinde kalan restorandaki müşteriler büyük şok yaşadı.

🦜 Yeşil papağan kozalaktaki tohumları yerken…
🌍 Yeşil papağanlar, doğal yaşam alanları Hindistan ve Afrika olmasına rağmen Avrupa'daki pek çok şehirde kendilerine yer edinmiş durumdalar. Özellikle evcil hayvan olarak alınıp çok yüksek sesli ötmelerinden dolayı dışarı salınmalarının bunda etkisi var.

On this day in 1982, #ReturnOfTheJedi (originally named "Revenge of the Jedi") began production at #ElstreeStudios near London, England.
While that was the set location for the interior of Jabba's Palace, Jeremy Bulloch’s returning role as #BobaFett wasn't filmed quite yet. The Sarlacc stunts were filmed with stuntmen Glenn Randall Jr. and Dickey Beer starting in April 1982, plus two more pick-up stunt shots with Bob Yerkes and Louis Friedman.

If you are using Rust for web or considering doing so, you might be excited to hear that rustls merged a PR to make ring an optional dependency. Soon(-ish) you will be able to choose which cryptography backend to use with rustls, including one written fully in Rust. That would help with making your projects easier to build.
Big thank you to rustls team, including Joe Birr-Pixton, @djc, and @cpu! -
Ralf Jung wrote a new blog post: What's "new" in Miri (and also, there's a Miri paper!)
There was a lot of progress in helping find Undefined Behavior (UB) in Rust programs, making it easier to write and check unsafe parts. Do check it out.

CPython core developers are considering introducing Rust to the codebase. A lot of them are in favor, including Guido.
“Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base.”

Android team at Google posted another update of their use of Rust as a replacement for C and C++.
Switching to Rust for writing performance sensitive and low level code allowed them to reduce memory safety vulnerabilities from ~70% to below 20% of total vulnerabilities for the first time.
Notable quotes:
"We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android’s C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery. With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one."
"For medium and large changes, the rollback rate of Rust changes in Android is ~4x lower than C++. This low rollback rate doesn't just indicate stability; it actively improves overall development throughput. Rollbacks are highly disruptive to productivity, introducing organizational friction and mobilizing resources far beyond the developer who submitted the faulty change. Rollbacks necessitate rework and more code reviews, can also lead to build respins, postmortems, and blockage of other teams. Resulting postmortems often introduce new safeguards that add even more development overhead."
"In a self-reported survey from 2022, Google software engineers reported that Rust is both easier to review and more likely to be correct. The hard data on rollback rates and review times validates those impressions."
"With roughly 5 million lines of Rust in the Android platform and one potential memory safety vulnerability found (and fixed pre-release), our estimated vulnerability density for Rust is 0.2 vuln per 1 million lines (MLOC)."
"Our historical data for C and C++ shows a density of closer to 1,000 memory safety vulnerabilities per MLOC. Our Rust code is currently tracking at a density orders of magnitude lower: a more than 1000x reduction."
Do read the whole blog post. It's very informative.

@adrian wrote a great introductory post about arena allocation (aka flattening) back in 2023. A day ago he showed a real life demonstration of it in another post.
Check them out if you are into #rustlang, #allocation, and #optimization. -
