"Teaching is a humbling and deeply educational experience, and I cannot recommend it enough!"
--Jon Gjengset.
Thank you, Jon, for giving your time, expertise, and energy to write a masterclass on Idiomatic Rust. I've always admired your knack for teaching and hope to do the same.
I just finished studying Rust for Rustaceans by @jonhoo.
After studying the Rust Book, like @dtolnay said in the preface, I noticed a knowledge gap between concepts explored in TRPL (The Rust Programming Language) Book (a.k.a., the Rust Book) and terminology in the std library and Rust Reference. I wanted to close that gap, to truly understand, because I've come to LOVE Rust. I wanted to leave no stone unturned. I found the best 2nd book after the Rust Book (goes without saying, I highly recommend).
As advised, in Chapter 13, Jon, I'll learn by teaching too. In the coming days, I'll share blog posts and hopefully hold live sessions where I debunk the myth that "Rust is too hard." Chipping at topics bit by bit.
It used to be that if you wanted to learn the inner workings of computer programming that'd tell you to learn C. Today, I'd tell you to learn Rust. Rust teaches you to appreciate the power you wield when you write, build and run a computer program. Yes, it is complex, but "complex is better than complicated." It might take some getting used to, yes, but with time and focus anyone can master the language and that's what I hope to do.
PS. Thank you @OReillyMedia for access to a plethora of golden technical resources. Thank you @timoreilly. That's two Rust books in 3 months! Grateful.
I've finished studying the Rust Book 🦀 (also known as The Rust Programming Language Book) by Carol Nichols and Steve Klabnik. Precisely, the interactive version by C.S. Brown University, (also known as the Rust Book experiment) which is available online for free via the link: rust-book.cs.brown.edu/exper…
An amazing resource and framework if you're learning AI Inference Engineering. Thank you, @deepseek_ai

it is absolutely insane what elon has done for humanity
it actually makes no sense
electric, self-driving, flying cars -- openai, reusable spaceships, planetary expansion, new internet network that decides wars, paypal, x, solar, neuralink, hyperloop
brother how???

All over the country, kids just watched the Roadster fly and decided their own crazy ideas might be possible too.
Thanks, @elonmusk.

Elon has done so much for humanity
Even tonight. Consider every inspired engineer, builder, creator that wants to go harder and think deeper from today’s presentation
Man. What a time to be alive

If your first response to the Tesla Roadster is "is that safe??", you've lost all sense of wonder.
Safety is not and never was the meaning of life. I'd happily spend a few micromorts on a flying car.
(Also, Tesla has a sterling safety record, so probably won't even need to).

Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon 🤔
amazon is blocking grok @bots from ordering, and elon's answer is just have your bot buy it somewhere else.
one of my grok bots only handles my amazon returns, so i'm watching this one closely.
would you switch stores for your bot? 🛒
Elon, i think its time for an X Shop? 👀

Applications are now open for two new Anthropic Fellowships.
STEM Fellows (science and engineering) and Conceptual Reasoning Fellows (philosophy, cognitive science, economics, policy, and law) will spend four months at Anthropic from January 2027, working to help Claude reason well about some of the hardest problems in those fields.
For more information, see the descriptions below. The application deadline is October 28.

For added context, when Elon proposed Hyperloop technology, way back in 2012, he proposed using air bearings for levitation. I read the paper then for my Bachelors dissertation on levitation. And I see similarities with that and the now cold gas thrusters used the Roadster. Both systems rely on pressurized/compressed air as the working fluid for levitation or flight.
Movies will be made with this car. I can already imagine the next Fast and Furious movie using this in 2028/29.
MOVIES. WILL. BE. MADE.
