Nice, I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I’ve noticed on my huge catkin cmake project that cmake is checking the existence of the same files hundreds of times t…

Code is a liability. When I let a LLM take the wheel, I end up with thousands of lines of crappy abstractions and needless comments and strange patterns that take way more brain po…

Probably 10 at most.

What worked for me in Estonia was to find a C++ job (robotics) then gradually push for Rust as I gained seniority and autonomy. Now maybe 70% of the code I write is Rust, both robo…

I have been trying out a trackball as a mouse replacement only. I will try this setup, nice idea

I’m having this problem now. I want to publish a post about recent months of progress on my project, but while writing it I found the solution isn’t complete and still has some fla…

iwantmyname.com, because I couldn’t find anywhere else that would sell .ms domains for cheap. Never had a problem with them

Me too, added now!

https://domwillia.ms I write about Rust and game engine development while slowly working towards a Dwarf Fortress-like game.

I wrote game engine after game engine with various languages and designs. Somehow I’m still motivated today to rewrite navigation in my 15th engine for the 3rd time.

Yep, moved to Tallinn from England for work 6 months ago. Being a software engineer classes you as a “top specialist” so getting a visa and residence permit was very straightforwar…

Great suggestion, thanks. I’m sick of the program output constantly screwing up the tui.

I remember reading your post about this a few years ago, when I was first considering moving abroad! Glad it’s going well for you. I have recently taken the plunge and moved to Est…

It is, after all, just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

For my long term side project I just dump ideas into a barely organised backlog.md [^1]. After finishing a feature or taking a few months away, I normally dive back in by browsing …

https://domwillia.ms I write about Rust side projects occasionally. It uses a custom static site generator because I needed to procrastinate somehow before starting the first post.…

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I didn't know I wanted to understand how ticker names are implemented until now!

Author here, this was a fun side project as an excuse to mess around with FUSE, Rust and Kotlin. I've written a blog post covering the technical details: https://domwillia.ms/minec…

These posts are always a pleasure to read. it's great to see continuous work on improving compiler performance, and especially with good results too.

Glad to see inline asm is finally stabilised, that's one less reason to use nightly for osdev!

The recent post[^1] about the roadmap for Async Rust shows promise for the coming years. [^1]: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/02/03/async-in-2...
