I'm a sucker for note-taking apps. The fact that this one is built with Rust
and WebAssembly is just too much for me.

People think contributing to any open source project is complicated and have
no idea where to start. Although focusing on helping the rust project, the
post describes the whole process in finding an issue and dealing with it.

While I don't expect people to take their free time and code some application
in COBOL at this time and age, I think people will find curious the language
that was in vogue when I started coding.
(Also, I have a presentation about old languages and, to be honest, I couldn't
really remember how COBOL code looks like, and they have plenty examples in
the article.)

It may come with no surprise for anyone following Apple news that there was

relationship between Intel and Apple is not in some bad weather, like it was
when Samsung produced Apple chips. And that's why the "Why?" remains.

Oxidize 1K, a conference about Embedded Rust, happened on March this year. The
conference was online and now the videos are available for everyone.
