Some dried blood on a cotton pad smiled at me after a nosebleed yesterday. #pixel #art

My @obsidian.md vault has 3 note types: daily logs (yellow), events (blue/purple), and atoms (green). They follow some linking rules: - daily log -> daily log (previous day) - daily log -> event (exactly one per event) - event -> event (towards the past) - atom -> atom - atom -> event (as examples)

It is viscerally satisfying to massage #rustlang libraries into being const, no_std, alloc-free, and as minimal as possible, with binaries managing the rest. It reminds me of the "functional core, imperative shell" pattern, and Hard Mode Rust (matklad). I wish to see more programs written like this.

Blitting images to a pixel buffer with clipping and a moving camera. About to extend this for animation and text rendering. Dogfooding crates.io/crates/clipline for line drawing helps improve the library as well :) #rustlang #gamedev #pixelart #graphics

@buttplug.io puts the embedded in embedded systems.

First #rustlang release I contributed to. I stabilized uN::*_sub_signed and the const floating-point rounding methods. Exciting!

Got a text from the police chief in my hometown. My dad (no contact since 2021) tried to report me missing after years of stalking. I had to send a video saying I'm fine and don't want contact with relatives. I thought the officer would pressure me, but he was really respectful! I'm relieved.

Just published clipline v4, a rewrite of my line rasterization crate with pixel-perfect clipping! Star it on GitHub: github.com/nxsaken/clip... Read the docs: docs.rs/clipline/lat... #rustlang #pixelart #graphics #rendering #gamedev 🎵: cuddlemeta by lianhua

My new substack essay about the philosophy of love in WALL-E (2008) is finally out! #Pixar #Disney #Moviereview

Discovered Michael Pierce recently. He's been posting video essays on neo-Jungian type theory (including #MBTI) for over a decade. I love the minimalist presentation (images + voiceover), and how organized and rigorous the content is.

#rustlang is the usual vehicle for my #INFJ Ni-Ti loops, so seeing this in the mirror really struck me.

Sped up my line-drawing #rustlang crate by pairing const-generic clipping functions with fully runtime iterator states. I expected the opposite, but v3’s generic states actually slowed iteration! Early v4's runtime flags improved iteration, but made clipping twice as slow. Friendship wins!

On a recent rewatch, I noticed that when #SailorMoon changes her pose between her MSHA and RMHA attacks, it mirrors the pose of The Magician in the #Tarot. It kind of makes sense: she literally channels the Holy Grail into the new attack. I've never seen this pointed out, wondering if there's more.

Mother, I binge-read #rustlang discussions until 4am again.

I want a reversible Bresenham iterator, but there’s an issue. Same line segments in opposite octants can be off by one pixel, i.e. iterating (0,0)→(8,3) vs (8,3)→(0,0) yields (4,2) vs (4,1). Fixing it is not required, but could make the reversed iterator easier. Thought of that scene in Zoolander.
