The following is the exchange between users latining and memecucker, from an ancient, cherished post on Tumblr. My notes are unclear which is which, but it goes roughly as follows:
"User A: You can tell when someone’s frame of reference for “normal people” is more “people at the church sponsored ice cream social” and less “people on the bus.”
The people in the notes saying “people on the bus aren’t normal” are the people this post is talking about.User B: I took the bus for three years when I lived in Honolulu and haven’t lived anywhere with even usable public transit since, but in those three years I had dozens of utterly bizarre experiences that were also Perfectly Normal. This is because the human condition is vast and also Very fucking Weird.
Kid one the bus next to me whose backpack starts moving and it turns out he’s got three chickens and a painted turtle he caught in there? This is Perfectly Normal. Humans have been catching small game and transporting it home in whatever they had since we invented bags to put chickens and turtles in.
I traded him three king-size snickers bars I had on me for the turtle because I vaguely remembered that many freshwater turtles were toxic to eat (incorrectly, as it turns out, but this was when I still had a Nokia Brick that lived a blissful, internet-free existence), and didn’t want him accidentally poisoning his family, but didn’t want to just. Steal his hard-won turtle. This is Perfectly Normal. Humans have been cautious about poisons, looking out for strangers kids and bartering shit since before we were technically humans, probably.
Having acquired a turtle, I now needed to transport the turtle to the on-campus pond that effectively served as an Invasive Freshwater Turtle Containment Zone, but did not have a bag that could adequately contain him so I had to sit the rest of that bus ride, at the station and all through the next bus ride holding the turtle like the world’s angriest hamburger. Multiple people were curious about and delighted with the turtle. This is Perfectly Normal. Humans love an animal, especially one that is capable of appearing grumpy, and hands are for holding things.
By the time I got back to Campus, the anthropology and child psychology building that the Invasive Turtle Containment Pond was in had closed, so I had to figure out how to climb the tree over the wall and get down off the roof while holding The World’s Angriest And Sharpest Hamburger. I eventually ended up having to briefly shove the turtle into by bra to get up to the initial branch and off the roof without breaking an ankle. This is Perfectly Normal. Humans are, as a species, a bunch of barely-evolved arboreal frugivores and really good at Tree Physics, and I don’t know a single titty-having bitch out there that hasn’t used their bra as Emergency Pockets at least once, if not daily.
I released the turtle into the Turtle Containment Pond and then had to solve the problem of getting back OUT of the locked building, but Nokia Brick never loses a signal or drops a call (including that time I accidentally dropped it off a 13-story building in the middle of a call to my parents and the damn thing BOUNCED but kept the line open. I miss that phone every day.) and while campus security has been carefully trained to not let people IN to places without proper ID and a call to someone inside, they assume that if you got locked in somewhere, that you got in by legitimate means and not Lemur Shenanigans, so i just called them, apologized that I’d been working late with headphones on and didn’t realize I’d been locked in. This is Perfectly Normal, people have been lying to cops since laws were invented, and will continue to do so because all cops are bastards.
Anyway, everyone should have access to good public transportation because freedom of movement is a human right and meeting a broad spectrum of humanity is good for your mental health and spiritual welfare."

The Rust project is currently working towards a slate of 26 project goals, with 3 of them designed as flagship goals. This post provides selected updates on our progress towards these goals (or, in some cases, lack thereof). The full details for any particular goal are available in its associated tracking issue on the rust-project-goals repository.
Bring the async Rust experience closer to parity with sync Rust
The biggest elements of our goal are solving the "send bound" problem via return-type notation (RTN) and adding support for async closures. This month we made progress towards both. For RTN, @compiler-errors extended the return-type notation landed support for using RTN in self-types like where Self::method(): Send
. He also authored a blog post with a call for testing explaining what RTN is and how it works. For async closures, the lang team reached a preliminary consensus on the async Fn
syntax, with the understanding that it will also include some "async type" syntax. This rationale was documented in RFC #3710, which is now open for feedback. The team held a design meeting on Oct 23 and @nikomatsakis will be updating the RFC with the conclusions.
We have also been working towards a release of the dynosaur
crate that enables dynamic dispatch for traits with async functions. This is intended as a transitionary step before we implement true dynamic dispatch. The next steps are to polish the implementation and issue a public call for testing.
With respect to async drop experiments, @nikomatsakis began reviews. It is expected that reviews will continue for some time as this is a large PR.
Finally, no progress has been made towards async WG reorganization. A meeting was scheduled but deferred. @tmandry is currently drafting an initial proposal.
Resolve the biggest blockers to Linux building on stable Rust
We have made significant progress on resolving blockers to Linux building on stable. Support for struct fields in the offset_of!
macro has been stabilized. The final naming for the "derive-smart-pointer" feature has been decided as #[derive(CoercePointee)]
; @dingxiangfei2009 prepared PR #131284 for the rename and is working on modifying the rust-for-linux repository to use the new name. Once that is complete, we will be able to stabilize. We decided to stabilize support for references to statics in constants pointers-refs-to-static feature and are now awaiting a stabilization PR from @dingxiangfei2009.
Rust for Linux (RfL) is one of the major users of the asm-goto feature (and inline assembly in general) and we have been examining various extensions. @nbdd0121 authored a hackmd document detailing RfL's experiences and identifying areas for improvement. This led to two immediate action items: making target blocks safe-by-default (rust-lang/rust#119364) and extending const
to support embedded pointers (rust-lang/rust#128464).
Finally, we have been finding an increasing number of stabilization requests at the compiler level, and so @wesleywiser and @davidtwco from the compiler team have started attending meetings to create a faster response. One of the results of that collaboration is RFC #3716, authored by Alice Ryhl, which proposes a method to manage compiler flags that modify the target ABI. Our previous approach has been to create distinct targets for each combination of flags, but the number of flags needed by the kernel make that impractical. Authoring the RFC revealed more such flags than previously recognized, including those that modify LLVM behavior.
The Rust 2024 edition is progressing well and is on track to be released on schedule. The major milestones include preparing to stabilize the edition by November 22, 2024, with the actual stabilization occurring on November 28, 2024. The edition will then be cut to beta on January 3, 2025, followed by an announcement on January 9, 2025, indicating that Rust 2024 is pending release. The final release is scheduled for February 20, 2025.
The priorities for this edition have been to ensure its success without requiring excessive effort from any individual. The team is pleased with the progress, noting that this edition will be the largest since Rust 2015, introducing many new and exciting features. The process has been carefully managed to maintain high standards without the need for high-stress heroics that were common in past editions. Notably, the team has managed to avoid cutting many items from the edition late in the development process, which helps prevent wasted work and burnout.
All priority language items for Rust 2024 have been completed and are ready for release. These include several key issues and enhancements. Additionally, there are three changes to the standard library, several updates to Cargo, and an exciting improvement to rustdoc
that will significantly speed up doctests.
This edition also introduces a new style edition for rustfmt
, which includes several formatting changes.
The team is preparing to start final quality assurance crater runs. Once these are triaged, the nightly beta for Rust 2024 will be announced, and wider testing will be solicited.
Rust 2024 will be stabilized in nightly in late November 2024, cut to beta on January 3, 2025, and officially released on February 20, 2025. More details about the edition items can be found in the Edition Guide.

Here's the "I Can't Believe It Can Sort" algorithm for sorting in *increasing* order, from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01111:
for i in range(n):
for j in range(n):
if A[i] < A[j]:
A[i], A[j] = A[j], A[i]I still can't believe it can sort!
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is a fun time, but the flashy combos and quick-time events can bump up the intensity. Although you can’t make the latter easier, the game does have an incredible selection of features called Battle Assists to make the general gameplay more approachable. There is one major problem though: the…
Deadpool & Wolverine proved that even if the MCU fatigue is real, comic book blockbusters can still be wildly successful if they involve the X-Men, two giant Hollywood stars, tons of jokes, a massive marketing budget, and little to no other meaningful competition in theaters at release.

Seeking advice:
A friend wants a website where people can support her art project, and we’re looking at options!
What’s the easiest way for a regular user to launch a website with a simple donation link, preferably with easy Apple/Google Pay and credit card options?
Free support for mapping a domain name is a bonus. This is in the U.S. in case it matters.
Thanks!

As we all prepare to buy extra bags of our favorite candy this Halloween, knowing full well that trick-or-treaters will only see a fraction of the bowl because your partner ate most of the fun-size bars the night before, it’s dawning on many that the cost of chocolate is exorbitantly high this year. Of course, ever…

Picard civics tip: Elect leaders the way you would hire crew members. Seek calm, control, and familiarity with how to operate the ship.
Halloween is upon us, the nights are getting longer, so turn off all the lights and terrify yourself with a pile of horror games that’ll suit the mood once you’ve finished Silent Hill 2.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out tomorrow, October 31. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of developer BioWare’s fantasy RPGs or a newcomer looking to see what all the fuss is about, it’s worth noting that The Veilguard represents a pretty drastic shift from the tactical, open-zone RPG gameplay of its predecessor, Drago…

There are certain parts of nature that inherently feel scarier than others. A dark forest, sheer cliffs, open bodies of water. Something about the enormity of the natural world engulfing you triggers a fight or flight response in the body, and the unknown possibilities hiding within that world feel much more tangible…
