The new mobile Zulip user interface is truly, remarkably bad. Faster, less memory hungry - awesome - but "hit back over and over until it decides to let you see the menu" is insane!

Figured I'd see what the cool kids were up to, and tried RooCoder (formerly Cline). It insisted that Claude Sonnet was the way to go, so I let it try (via my OpenRouter account). Gave it a task to update some JavaScript to handle some basic CRUD operations. I also gave the same instructions...

The Petgraph crate really is a joy to work with.

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.

Next up on #HexGame remake, spinning windmills based on turbulence and elevation 🌀 🌬️ Create a system for assigning speed 🧪 Expand test cases: ⚡⚡⚡ fast - single windmill on hill ⚡⚡ medium - windmill on hill next to windmill ⚡ slow - windmill next to windmill #rustlang #gamedev

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.

Wow, really proud to have two books on the bestseller list today!
