Laser engraving a LibreQoS business card with @melwolverson.bsky.social . It's oddly hypnotic to watch! This is a thin,shiny aluminium card with a gold coating that the laser burns away. Buff it afterwards, and it's really striking! (Test run, the actual cards will be black/silver)

🧵 on #rustlang From and Into traits 🦀 Let's say we are making a tile-based game, we have two xy positions we care about: * tile positions - refer to the grid * screen positions - refer to the screen in pixels Here is how we might represent these concepts as structs. 👇

Testing out aider.chat and DeepSeek API calls on some LibreQoS code. Nothing too fancy, just creating some skeleton HTML with Bootstrap 5 forms - but asking it to read some Rust structures and use those to make the forms. Really impressive. For $0.08, it made 16 template files with good HTML.

Updating Advanced Hands-on Rust to the latest Bevy. Generally improved, faster, and cleaner. Having your Initial state run OnEnter before application initialization is insanely unintuitive, though. 1st state can no longer assume anything exists. bevyengine.org/learn/migrat...

Spent a little time tearing out json and using cbor over binary websockets for a dashboard with lots of data, today. Didn't take long, and yielded a 50% reduction in bandwidth, and massive improvements in render speed. You probably don't need it everywhere, but when you do - it's really nice!

Woot, plane tickets, hotel all booked for Rust Nations in London. Workshop coming together nicely. FFI is a really big topic, even focusing on C and C++! Looking forward to it.

There's a little more snow than I thought! The ice walls from clearing the driveway are up to my shoulders!

Our daughter turned 3 today! We're iced in, so we've been baking, opening presents and playing with her new piano. If it keeps snowing, we'll be making snow creatures tomorrow.

🦀 Short intro to Rust Embedded Development 🧵👇 (part 3) I'll be using an STM32F407G-DISC1 microcontroller (Cortex M4) and two main crates: cortex-m and stm32f4. The goal is to write a simple Rust program that plays with the LEDs and button of the board. Let's do it! 🚀

Driving in the first snow is always scary. Trying to get home after thanksgiving, just watched a Ford Transit in the rearview mirror spin a full 360 across 3 lanes, bounce off the concrete median and somehow right itself and limp slowly out the exit. Drive carefully if you're anywhere near Missouri

I was just playing with DataSpell from @jetbrains.com . I've not done a huge amount of work with Jupyter notebook, but thought it'd be fun to prototype a few ideas before writing production code. Besides, it's freezing outside up at the in-laws and everyone is hibernating.
