Nor are the victims of preventable disease to be blamed for being born into countries without functioning governments. I'm happy to pay $37 as a U.S. taxpayer if it saves the life …

Very! there are unified headers and a C library that the maintainers have written as a wrapper around the library. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native https://github.com/eliemich…

in oh-my-zsh you can use `take` to do what mkcd does.

Agreed. I wish it was easier to embed the compiler in my favorite languages and reflect on it. Quite excited bout Wesl: https://github.com/wgsl-tooling-wg/wesl-rs .

I dug around on this web page and found outlinks to: The "Stop Gangstalking Awareness Group", and especially this page about "Understanding Neuro Weapons." LaserPointerSafety has n…

This has been posted here a while ago but I'm pretty excited about bolt: https://github.com/Beariish/bolt - I've been looking for a statically typed language which could integrate …

What I will say about sycophancy - the recent rollback that OpenAI went through does appear like a clear attempt to push the envelope on dark patterns wrt AI Assistants. Engagement…

This is a misquote - the two minutes of context around the content he was commenting cause it to make way more sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZ0K3lWKRc He's right that to…

So, gingerol is anti inflammatory. Fun fact, so is allicin, which is produced by garlic. You get a lot of medicine that looks quite a bit like quack medicine - for instance people …

This is the direction i've been theoretically harping about to all my friends, API first creative software will win out. After Effects has a decent JS api, Da Vinci Resolve has pyt…

This is really cool but it's not portable to MacOs or aarm64 yet, and that kind of portability unfortunately is what appeals to me about an embeddable scripting language.

My experience has been more like this: - Write small library as contract work. - Client vibe codes with it. Code doesn't work. - End up doing good faith assurance work to fix the v…

I think the borrow checker doesn't get enough credit for supporting one of rusts other biggest selling points - it's ecosystem. In C and C++ libraries often go through pains to pas…

I love this sort of thing. I wish there were a better alternative for ISF[1], it's quickly showing it's age. The kind of GPU sand boxed graph construction that this enables would b…

SEEKING WORK | Location: Bay Area / Remote I Run a small contracting group, we have a few floating designers and devs of various backgrounds. We love creative work and hard technic…

Some of the QT people have forked off and started working on slint[1], iced[2] is the most mature gui in the rust ecosystem right now (in my opinion), but still lacking in some way…

So egui is great for projects where the application runtime is short lived, or for overlays in longer lived projects. The visual equivalent of scripts, where you know you need a sm…

I think my main use case would be to run it on unit tests, and then to provide a human-in-the-loop way to slowly hydrate small to medium sized code bases with types. Maybe progress…

I'd like to experiment with writing a reflection based dynamic type annotator for one of these. Just as a toy. Imagine a module which monkey patches every function, class in the pa…

In the long run %100. comparing the lowest quartile of high school grads to the lowest quartile of college grads, the college grad makes about $30k more. So without accounting for …

pde5 inhibitors have some dangerous interactions other medications. They also give some people headaches, up to and including migraines. I agree, they will probably end up in some …

That's how ye' get yerself Tzeench'd

ffmpeg has always felt like a gui application crammed into tui format. I've had the displeasure of using the C api a few times, while it's straight forward in many respects, it mak…
