    Show HN: Unbug 0.5 – Rust runtime debug assertions

    I'm back again with many improvements to Unbug! My previous post here led to the removal of reliance on nightly Rust, so I'm hoping you helpful folks pick apart my new features too…

    Not exactly the same, but I made this Ulam spiral generator more than a decade ago. https://embed.plnkr.co/mdZX6C/ It isn't just doing primes though, instead the size of the dot ge…

    You're thinking of a nebula. That’s the remnants of a supernova. A galaxy is an unimaginably large collection of stars. A nebula is still quite large, but several orders of magnitu…

    Answering my own question, apparently `brk #1` is insufficient on Apple silicon. That results in just a trap and will prevent the debugger from continuing past the debug statement.…

    I didn't come across any good ones when creating this library, but if you're using VSCode, I tried my best to make the README as beginner friendly as possible. I'm open to issues a…

    I can understand where you're coming from, but when programming games you generally don't want a breakpoint to be hit more than once since you are running a loop over multiple fram…

    Interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in assembly, is there a similar trick or requirement in arm and would that include Apple silicon, or is this something specific to `…

    Thanks, yeah I considered using the instructions directly, but I was hoping for a more cross-platform option. For my purposes, developing in the Bevy engine, nightly isn't a huge b…

    Show HN: Unbug – Rust macros for programmatically invoking breakpoints

    This project is inspired by some of the asserts in Unreal engine. Due to reliance on core_intrinsics it is necessary to develop using nightly Rust, but there are stubs in place so …

    I just looked through the perks on my Google One and don't see this offering. I don't see it in the premium perks either. Do you happen to have a link? Is it some kind of hidden be…

    I wholeheartedly disagree with your assertions on mortality. Global population growth is slowing and is set to peak in the 2060s and will decline afterwards. We're more at risk of …

    A couple unikernel projects that caught my eye in the past may be of interest to you. I have no experience with them, so I can't speak to their quality though. https://unikraft.org…
