I gave a talk at the Scientific Computing in Rust conference.

A naive and hopefully intuitive explanation of ownership rules in Rust.

Today, I was at the bwHPC Symposium in Mannheim. I was curious to listen to interesting talks and get to know what other people are working on at the moment. The agenda featured a well-stirred mixture of diverse topics including not only research topics but also tools such as for file sharing and infrastrucure.

I recently came across a new typesetting system called typst. It is being developed by Martin Haug and Laurenz Mädje. It aims to modernize typesetting systems by introducing a new scripting language to control the layout of documents. There are many new and great things about typst and we could be talking about all of its aspects and compare it to $\LaTeX$ for quite some time. However, I would like to focus on how to actually use it and what this means in practice for someone that has used $\LaTeX$ since high-school.

Last week I attended the Scientific Computing in Rust 2023 virtual conference. The organizers put together a well-stirred mixture of talks covering a wide range of topics. It was good to see so many other enthusiastic researchers using Rust as their main tool to build software surrounding computational needs.

If you are part of the scientific community, you must have heard of Linux. This small post is not meant to capture everything good and bad or even everything important there is to know about GNU, Linux and many of the other open source projects out there. It is simply my story and view and why it is my preferred operating system. Feel free to jump to the end to skip my personal story.
