I recently explained to someone in an interview that I chose Puppet over Ansible circa 2014 because by default, Ansible used to output success or failure messages using cowsay.

#73I love the demo scene, but the culture is kind of strange. Like I've been fooling around with the C64, and all the tools (emulators, debuggers, and etc) are hosted on source forge, or sometimes this random ftp. The author of the debugger I'm using proudly proclaims that he only works on it when he's fucked up on drugs after parties. The documentation of some tools has lewd ascii art, and etc etc. I appreciate the ant…

Re: Writing a winning 4K intro in Rust
#75That intro was very cool! Does anyone have pointers for a fullstack web dev who is interested in the demoscene (or computer generated art in general)? I've actually played around a bit with rust [1] (I understand it probably isn't ideal for demoscence), but I haven't really done any graphics programming before. I get the feeling it is a pretty deep rabbit hole. [1] https://github.com/dwaltrip/advent-of-code-2019-rust
The Coding Train on youtube has a ton of content [0]. If you really want to start from the beginning then I would also recommend Coding Math on YouTube [1], which is sort of graphics from first principles using JS/canvas. That even starts with teaching trigonometry, vectors, etc. So if your math is rusty it's a good place to start

I think it is a reference to the fact that Sourceforge used to inject spyware into published binaries.

This github-drama repo has provided me with hours of time-wasting fun. Thanks for sharing!
EDIT: Maybe the best list to find future NO-GO applicants

#78This is important art.
I'm not sure if the author is reading this thread, but thanks! :-)

Re: Writing a winning 4K intro in Rust
#80Looks nifty. Seems to only compile on Win though: $ xargo run For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0463`. error: could not compile `winapi`. Still, probably good for interest/learning from. :)
Hm so it's leveraging the Windows API. I thought demos were supposed to be bare-metal.
