The March edition of the scientific computing in Rust newsletter is out. Enjoy! scientificcomputing.rs/monthly/2026...

I finally managed to rewrite the Cherry Ray Tracer GUI using egui, an immediate mode GUI for Rust with WASM support. In addition, I figured out threading in WebAssembly via SharedArrayBuffers, so this thing is now lightning fast. kmdouglass.github.io/cherry #optics #wasm #raytracing

The current FAQ section on rust-embedded.org/faq/ is being worked over and expanded. If you have come across FAQs that are suitable for rust-embedded.org, please consider contributing them (if possible including an answer) to this discussion: github.com/rust-embedde... #EmbeddedRust

Very excited about this board and very much looking forward to getting my hands on a few of them!

If you are looking for a new incubator, look for a model that has the control board **above** the chamber, especially if you work with salt water... Don't get me wrong, I love oxidized firmware #EmbeddedRust, not so much corroded components though.

TFW you start up a $70k controller for a new instrument and it flashes “Windows Embedded Compact 7” at you…

First Scientific Computing in Rust monthly newsletter of 2026 is out. Enjoy! scientificcomputing.rs/monthly/2026...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I've been wanting to try and start brain dumping some thoughts on (embedded) rust, how I approach problems, write HAL/device drivers, tools I use, etc. But, I'm terrible at starting to write unless I have specific questions to answer. So: ask me anything re: embedded/rust/hardware!

The #BEASTLab won second place in the departmental holiday decoration contest!

Knowing now what cephalopod math looks like, I wonder what iterators look like in cephalopod Rust... And now I wonder if cephalopod Rust also uses a crab as the mascot... this rabbit hole looks deep! #AdventOfCode

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

It's finally December again, day one of Advent of Code 2025 is done. #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1

It has been out for a bit, but just read this great post on the corrode blog on defensive programming patterns in rust. A great overview, enjoy! corrode.dev/blog/defensi...

It's almost like I was there with them 🥹

It's nearly Christmas and something terrible has happened... www.mscroggs.co.uk/blog/120

A cheat sheet of Cargo plugins to improve your day as a #rustlang developer. More detailed notes and a PDF version is available through the link in the QR code.

When X-rays are incident upon a crystal, some of their energy is reflected from the lattice planes. Certain angles of incidence will lead to the observation of diffraction peaks due to constructive interference between the reflected wavefronts. #optics #microscopy youtu.be/FZ4gilAe7x0

Fun and interesting article on the history of "deliberately sacrificial conductor[s]" (aka fuses): c.digikey.com/dc/hIEerrlOP... Reminded me of the fuse discussion in episode "How is software safety certified?" of @sdr-podcast.com

Been exploring Jujutsu (github.com/jj-vcs/jj) for my daily usage. See for yourself: Git: 1. I screw up my repo again 2. Go to ohshitgit.com 3. Hopefully find a solution to my problem 4. Run the command that I copy and cross my fingers... Jujutsu: 1. I screw up my repo again 2. `jj undo`

InterpN is Scientific Computing in Rust's crate of the month, and featured in This Week in Rust! Check out the writeup to see how it pulls off an up to 200x speedup over SciPy's already-quite-good interpolation methods! Available via Python bindings and as a (no_std!) Rust crate. jlogan.dev/blog/

November issue of the Scientific Computing in Rust newsletter is out and available [here](scientificcomputing.rs/monthly/2025...). Crate of the month is [InterpN](crates.io/crates/interpn) by @ponderingpothos.bsky.social Enjoy!
