Probably the worst part of this bike is how big and heavy it is-- we're pretty sure there's not a way we could put it on a hitch on our car. Which I've decided means I'll just have to get another bike for trips to trails ;)

I ordered some stickers from @molly0xfff that look great on it too :) I've amused myself, if not rad power legal, with the placement of the "Ignore all previous instructions" one ;)

I'm still nervous around cars and I wish there were more protected bike lanes nearby, but being able to throttle to a bit faster feels like I can get out of cars' way, or at least inconvenience them less. And it's just fun!

I've been thinking about getting an ebike for a while, partly because of all the posts I've seen about how great they are On Here, but I was kind of stuck in analysis paralysis until this Radwagon 5 came up on craigslist nearby and I went for it :) Reader, it is indeed wonderful :)

I'm out of shape and I live on top of a hill; the pedal assist has made biking possible! I've been taking my kid to school, the library, and the grocery store!

crates.io does not expose email address in its API. the attack seems to be getting emails from github/git.

There's an active phishing campaign happening against crates.io. rustfoundation dot dev is not the foundation's or the project's domain. We're looking at our options for takedowns.

"What do we do then?"

@ddrake ... and ultimately, I don't think The Book can be all books to all people, so I hope more people write introductory Rust books that appeal to people looking for different things!

@ddrake But Will Crichton and Shriram Krishnamurthi have done research and published a paper that they think ownership should be pushed _later_ in peoples' Rust learning journeys because the unfamiliar ownership concepts cause people to drop out... https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.01257

@ddrake Hi Dan, Just saw this post of yours! I'm one of the co-authors of the Rust book, and I appreciate your feedback!

A problem I have as an author is that only one thing can be first, and everyone wants something different. Many people only want the syntax stuff. We decided to go with installation stuff, then a project for chapter 2, then the syntax stuff, then what's most different about Rust in chapter 4. I've definitely recommended people read at least Ch 4!
