Some called it reckless dumping. Others warned it would be detrimental to an already dwindling ecosystem. And for a while, these concerns seemed valid. Even the researchers running this giant experiment had their doubts as no visible progress was initially seen.

All of these things and more helped revive fish, turtle, and dolphin populations to numbers not seen in over two and a half decades. Layer by layer, the ocean floor had rebuilt itself until the results were visibly undeniable.

I have one. It's great for the sun, and there are some of their hats that look great without coming off with Republican cowboy wannabe vibes.

I've seriously gotten so many compliments from random people on it. They also have some that are weather proof and can be rolled up for travel. All wool. Amazing.

Highly recommend.

    Yeah I doubt it. I've worked in large Rust codebases too. I'd do some benchmarking. Cargo has some nice flags that let you see exactly what it's doing. You can open the compilation report up in a browser and zoom in on different steps of the process and see everything.

    Rust us way easier to understand for me (and I'd guess most people) than C.

    Rust is fun because it's the only mainstream language with an affine type system, which allows some really cool patterns like the typestate pattern. And the fact that there's no inheritance or null or exceptions is amazing.

    I've been working on my privacy setup and breaking away from Proton. There are a bunch of email providers I looked at, same with email aliases, password managers, etc.

    But I don't understand the state of calendars. It feels like they're always shoved into email services, and they're all so crappy looking.

    I was able to find one or two Android apps that are open source, and they look like they're 20 years old.

    Proton Calendar, for all its faults, looks really good.

    Why, in 2025, is there no simple calendar as a service with nothing else included? And why do the UIs all look like complete trash?

    I don't get it. Can't one of us hire an intern to take a week to learn a CSS framework and create a decent calendar UI? Am I missing something?
