Love this anecdote. Having a really capable sales team that actually listens to customers unique needs, and feeds that back into a better product can be such a huge asset. Your sales team is usually a huge repository of unique customer pain and problems (opportunities!)

This is really cool. A really big step forward for the Rust ecosystem. Being able to use Rust in safety critical systems is a big win.

Congrats to everyone involved!

This looks really cool, and showcases how simple CI can be if every git repository exposes a nix flake. Congrats on shipping!

It's usually tradition that your 100th jump is supposed to be naked, at least amongst the skydiving communities I was a part of.

Another Dvorak typist here! Personal funny anecdote: I learned vim modal navigation after I learned Dvorak, and never bothered to remap the keys. Totally debilitating if I'm using a coworkers QWERTY keyboard for vim navigation, but at least I can still navigate on remote servers without reconfiguring anything!

Looks like a cool project! I have a box of old mini discs (and a Sony player) in the basement that I've been wondering what to do with. I would love to give the project a try and get them converted for digital archival.

I play mandolin, but come from playing the cello: so chords are less familiar to me than scale based melodies. This looks really useful, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Love the video. I love the brushed and beveled panel. I'll definitely look at something like this for some of my designs.

This is awesome. The case fabrication looks great. What materials and fabrication process did you use? I'm particularly interested to hear more details of how you made such a pro looking design.

Agreed. Rocket has been an absolute pleasure to use. I'm looking forward to it being able to run on Rust stable at some point. Procedural macros abound!
