How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle#flash#adobe#webdev#javascript#rust#retrogaming
It also supports Windows, although this is beta and Windows binaries are not included yet (you'll have to compile it yourself). Attached is a Windows screenshot. Linux should be easy to support, too.
I'm open sourcing it because I think there's great value in a high quality cross platform Mastodon desktop client and I can't pull this off alone.
Hello Fediverse friends! My partner, who has total 16 years of experience in software in an impressive array of various technologies, is looking for new opportunities. What he's looking for:
#ThePHPFoundation, alongside leading open source organizations including the #Apache SoftwareFoundation, #Blender Foundation, #OpenSSL Software Foundation, #Python Software Foundation, #Rust Foundation, and #Eclipse Foundation, announced today a collaborative initiative aimed at establishing common cybersecurity standards in alignment with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA):
I was laid off over a 2 minute video call this morning
If anyone is able to help me find a new job (I'm in Seattle), please reach out 🙏
I'm an experienced #DevOps and #SRE engineer, and an accomplished open-source developer (TS, #Go, #Rust etc.) with tens of thousands of users worldwide
If you're a happy user of https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi I would really appreciate if you could sponsor, even if it's for $1/month, to help me through this uncertain period
NLnet Foundation is looking for a Rust developer/software engineer for our office in Amsterdam.
You will be responsible for the development and operation of the (Rust based) backend through which we administer our open source grant programmes, and which integrates with our website.
NLnet financially supports organisations and people who work on free and open source projects from around the world on all layers of internet technology.
My wife and I are excited about our upcoming move to Germany this October, where she'll be pursuing her master's degree.
I'm currently exploring opportunities as a Go or Rust backend developer.
If you happen to know of any positions available, whether remote or in the Bielefeld area, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know.
Sharing my resume and discussing potential collaborations would be wonderful!
Hey, I am a software developer and data scientist with experience in both fields. I mostly have experience in #python and #kotlin and some experience in #rust . I am really struggling to get hired anywhere because of my lack of diploma from my higher education, even though I (provably) have the skills to work anyway.
If anyone has any pointers or places I can go to I'd love to hear it. I'd love to work in either a data science job or open source software development, either locally in the central or west Netherlands or remote. Please help me get #FediHired spread this around if you want to. If you want more info and have a job opening I can DM my CV.
Last week I presented my paper at SecDev on the impact #Rust has vs. #C++ on the probability of a vulnerability being introduced by a first-time contributor to a project—and therefore, how easy it is for newbies to get contributions merged. The full paper is available here:
but the tl;dr is: Rust significantly lowered the number of vulnerabilities introduced, especially from new contributors, and increased the quantity of new contributors to projects.
👀 I am currently available to hire, for around 8-12 hours a week; 💻 for regular consulting, development, mentoring, advice, and more. ⌚ EU/UK timezones only, and 🌍 remote only. Get in touch if you'd like to chat more, my DMs are open❤️ #forhire#php#phpc#java#rust#c
This port may take a while, and I greatly appreciate any help available. I've laid out a list of tasks to be done before merging, and if anyone wants to take something on let me know and we can work together.
Dis Masto, si tu vois passer des annonces de mission #Rust en télétravail total qui accepte les débutants Rust, contacte-moi, ça pourrait m'intéresser.
Ok peeps, we're 4 months into 2024 and I've been without work this whole time so we're going to try this again. If you know of any senior software engineering positions that are actually being hired for, please drop them below.
I have 12 cumulative years of experience, so that shouldn't be an issue, and I know most of the languages in use nowadays well enough to be dangerous, but I am extremely proficient in TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. What I'd rather do more than anything though is have an opportunity to use Go professionally.
I'm #hiring 2-4 software engineers in the next few months.
We work in #rust on all desktop platforms, linux servers, and we have ambitions for mobile.
I'm most struggling to figure out how to recruit windows developers who want to work in our space. I don't have many existing connections in that area.
We are building an #infosec product for building enterprise networks.
Python is a memory-safe programming language that eliminates an entire class of software vulnerabilities 🐍🛡️ Adoption of memory-safe systems languages like #Rust continues to grow in the #Python package ecosystem 🦀
A while back I posted to announce we were enabling the use of #rust as a development language within @thunderbird
Pleased to say that we've now landed support, and as of today it's possible to write new libraries and xpcom components using #rustlang, as part of the libxul build!
The reader and input stack have been ported, which is basically everything. There's still some entry points in C++ (PR being reviewed) and test helper binary (might make a good external contribution as it's entirely self-contained), but almost all of the C++ is gone, and with it large chunks of the FFI.
Now we just have the second 90% to go - making sure this rewritten fish is portable and distributable!
I’ve been out of job since June with very low self income (I don't qualify for public unemployment income) and the project I was due to start in February will probably be delayed until April-May.
I'm a Staff / Principal Engineer who likes to work with nice people on R&D projects, remotely, preferably async, but at this point I’m open to anything for the next two/three months (hoping for no further delays).
Out of 6 languages recommended by the NSA, 4 are patended bvy multibillion comanies who can pull the plug on them at any time (and Oracle already tried that).
C# - PATENTED by Microsoft,
Go - PATENTED by Google
Java - PATENTED by Oracle, NOT FREE
Python - not too shabby
Rust - not too shabby
Swift - PATENTED by Apple
Someone please tell me screen reader support isn’t broken on the major Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu that ship Wayland as default.
(I can’t get the modifier key for Orca to work under the latest Fedora Silverblue and, according to the linked issue, it’s because… it just doesn’t work under Wayland? That can’t be right, right? It would mean the major Linux distributions are inaccessible.)
Just installed and had a quick play with a new screen reader for Linux called Odilia. It doesn’t support key bindings at all at the moment but it did read stuff out and performed better than Orca at that with the custom Festival voice I’m using (Orca performs very well with its internal robot voice but the Festival voices are far more human.)
Anyway, not ready for use in any way but might be worth keeping an eye on:
