#IMPL
Still discovering fun Rust things. My current obsession is how you can have an enum with multiple choices and then write a parser and tokenizer that matches on it, and impl FromStr on it.

Then you just assign "a string".parse() to a variable of your enum's type and it automatically uses the […]

Well, here’s the next thing for managed PDS hosting, lmao.

@jaz.sh coming out the gate with a BALLER new PDS impl
jaz.sh Jaz @jaz.sh · 1h
Hi protocol friends!

I've been cooking up a Very Large PDS (vlpds) implementation capable of scaling up to billions of accounts and down to just one.

It uses Object Storage as its only state, supports HA operation, live scaling up and down, is feature-complete with the reference PDS, and is FOSS.
Overview · vlpds docs
An atproto PDS whose only durable storage is an object store. Any node serves any request, one node can run a personal server for free, and a few nodes can carry all of Bluesky's write load.

absolutely yeah but that's a mid-impl stage not something shipable

impl<T> can be thought of as the compiler duplicating the whole impl block for each concrete T

Left: The Tories claim they’ll save taxpayers nearly £1bn a year by cutting student loans to “foreign students”.

Right: Most international students on Student visas don’t qualify for UK student finance in the first place.

So where exactly are these £1bn “savings” coming from?

TIL Rust's #[derive(Debug)] emits #[inline] on the generated fmt impl. Usually fine, but nested error types can stack up: a shrink of ~160KB in uv's binary just by making one Debug impl inline(never). Derives are not free, they just hide the cost.

And why they scared?

and the emoji records would be the only 'source of truth' instead of 50 different places duplicating the same info in, what i assume was an attempt to optimize 3rd party clients, which the impl guide tells you to ignore anyway
October 4, 2026 at 1:21 AM
duplicating all of that info for literally no reason when the impl guide tells you to fetch the record anyway What Is the Point. Why does it derive the rid from the alias What is The Point. the adultOnly field And self-labels ?? putting the name colons In the record ????

Matrix is a protocol. We started Dendrite as an alt impl to prevent a monoculture; nothing against Twisted. Synapse got popular so we had to focus on that; meanwhile other impls like conduit.rs emerged. Meanwhile dendrite lives on at zendrite.pat-s.me.

i liked how some old impl used a single char (ⓘ?) with a fallback explanation link facet for vanilla social-app. could link to wsky instead (free self promotion 🤑)

some of it is definitely down to some jank http1 impl, but yeah that was with keepalive, I just think the keepalive was hardly working properly

hear me out, godot has it's own language. can render windows, and full, native, 2d rendering and separate, native, 3d rendering. it includes tools for audio, networking (websockets, full udp/tcp server client impl, full http useragent), it can *load gdextensions at runtime* it is an OS.

It's a cynical take, but it's not necessarily wrong unless the box cracks open and I it is indeed pure impl.

Also broken very major boxes open, enough to keep a list, and what's inside can be all kinds of fun treats.

I'm more bemused at the debate.

Have you seen this nonsense from Suella Braverman, former UK Home Secretary and currently a Reform spokesperson & MP? She's also Desi.

It's insane but now you can just buy access to a frontier model for ~48hrs and have it blast out an optimized impl of another model. Jax/CUDA/whatev. Don't like vLLM/llama.cpp? Claude printed me a Jev-compatible server for Clef in 100% cuTile-python last night. now I can just use it locally forever

i'd go much further-- the PDS ref impl (not just the APIs) need to be a general-purpose protocol resource _with a framework for safe/non-colliding extensions_, n addition to all the things you just enumerated:

Making the PDS extensible
There has been on and off discussion for quite a while framing the PDS as a user-agent and by that imagining what it would look like if it had some kind of extensible plugin system (likely WASM) that ...

This clip should haunt Sue-Ellen Braverman for the rest of her political & her personal life.

It should also mark her final ever appearance on Question Time.

Not that she should have been on there in the first place, given her prior deranged and obnoxious outbursts #BBCQT
