In my afternoon break I finished Foundryside The Founders Trilogy Book 1 by Robert Jackson Bennett. I liked the book. It gave me the same vibes as the first Mistborn book by Brandon Sanderson. So if you've read that one, give Foundryside a try. And vice versa.
Bas Steins gives a nice overview of what to expect in Python 3.11.
It has been about a year since the DeisLabs team starting using Rust in a “serious” project. About this time last year, we started work on what became the Krustlet project. Since then, we have been using Rust extensively across our projects and have learned a ton more about the language’s strengths and weaknesses. As “Rust After the Honeymoon” posts currently seem to be all the rage, we thought we could contribute a little to the discussion with our experiences writing applications for the cloud world.

A few years ago, Sancia Grado would’ve happily watched Tevanne burn. Now, she’s hoping to transform her city into something new. Something better. Together with allies Orso, Gregor, and Berenice, she’s about to strike a deadly blow against Tevanne’s cruel robber-baron rulers and wrest power from their hands for the first time in decades.
But then comes a terrifying warning: Crasedes Magnus himself, the first of the legendary hierophants, is about to be reborn. And if he returns, Tevanne will be just the first place to feel his wrath.
Thousands of years ago, Crasedes was an ordinary man who did the impossible: Using the magic of scriving—the art of imbuing objects with sentience—he convinced reality that he was something more than human. Wielding powers beyond comprehension, he strode the world like a god for centuries, meting out justice and razing empires single-handedly, cleansing the world through fire and destruction—and even defeating death itself.
Like it or not, it’s up to Sancia to stop him. But to have a chance in the battle to come, she’ll have to call upon a god of her own—and unlock the door to a scriving technology that could change what it means to be human. And no matter who wins, nothing will ever be the same.
In the evening I started in Shorefall, The Founders Trilogy Book 2 by Robert Jackson Bennett.
