Joe Maring / Android Authority I’ve been playing with Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 since it released a few days ago, and so far, I have very few complaints. I love the Material 3 Expressive redesign, the updated quick settings are great, and I’m a big fan of the new look for notifications. But more than any of that, I’ve been having endless amounts of fun with the Magic Portrait feature. Magic Portrait was a bit of a surprise in the newest Android 16 beta, and it’s quickly proving to be one of the b

Writing into uninitialized buffers in Rust Posted on March 11, 2025 Uninitialized buffers in Rust are a long-standing question, for example: Recently, John Nunley and Alex Saveau came up with an idea for a new approach, using a Buffer trait, which is now in rustix 1.0, which I'll describe in this post. Update: This idea is now available in a standalone published library: buffer-trait. Introducing the Buffer trait The POSIX read function reads bytes from a file descriptor into a buffer, and

An Interactive Debugger for Rust Trait Errors Human developers frequently make simple mistakes. Thankfully, type systems do a great job of statically catching simple mistakes and saving developers time. However, as type errors become more complex, developers may spend significant time trying to understand the error message itself. Imagine writing a social media platform in Rust. Say your application has two tables, users and posts , the latter has a field author_id that is a foreign key into t

On February 21, the largest crypto heist ever started to unfold. Hackers gained control of a crypto wallet belonging to the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit, and stole almost $1.5 billion of digital tokens. They quickly shunted the money between dozens of cryptocurrency wallets and services to try and obscure the activity, before starting to cash the stolen funds out. The eye-popping digital raid had all the hallmarks of being conducted by one of North Korea’s elite subgrou

Let me preface this by saying that I am a novice in the world of rust (though I'm liking things so far!), so if I make technical mistakes please let me know and I will try to correct them. With that out of the way, lets get started. My real motivation for taking a closer look at dynamic dispatch can be seen in the following code snippet. Suppose I want to create a struct CloningLab that contains a vector of trait objects (in this case, Mammal ): This works fine. You can iterate over the vector

Wikipedia is one of the most valuable repositories of information ever created by humanity. Having your own Wikipedia page has become a kind of status symbol—proof that someone is important enough to enter the historical record. But, ironically, having your face in a Wikipedia page is often not flattering at all. In fact, Wikipedia portraits, often included in Wikipedia articles about celebrities, are so famously bad that there’s an Instagram page dedicated to them . Take the Wikipedia portrait
