Claude code on the max plan with playwright mcp is unstoppable. Add Gemini for researching libraries and planning.

Just released my first Rust crate - Gatehouse. A flexible, async-friendly permissions library for Rust!

Combine custom policies with builtin ones all composable via combinators. Async-first design for DB/RPC use, and full tracing into why a decision was made.

I assume there are many many of these now, but I did just add support for reasoning models to Qabot. So many more problems are solved in just one shot now

Gave a talk on Bevy at the Christchurch Rust Meetup last night

Calling llms word blenders or random text generators feels similar to dismissing early computers as number blenders. Not a great fit for many situations, but already showing lots of potential

By mimicking an inner thought process they certainly seem better at reasoning. The models with CoT can explore bad ideas and course correct before generating output.

Does pretty well if you use the current model

What's your preferred way of dealing with internal and third party errors in large rust apps?

Tried hydro foiling yesterday! Managed to get up on the foils knee boarding

Happy belated new year! Managed to watch the Sydney fireworks from the water

Took my 8yo daughter tramping this weekend. A few falls, a few tears but a really positive experience overall

Bevy plus rapier is a powerful combo. Having fun doing my toes into very very basic game dev

I'm getting very excited for the release of #windandtruth in a week

Downloads last day: 53,917 Downloads last week: 315,439 Downloads last month: 1,333,258

Huh python-can sure gets some downloads (1,333,258 last month)!

I've just cut the v4.5.0 release - github.com/hardbyte/pyt...

Yeah that's a great tip. Was thinking I'd make a headless game server and have participants get state and send controls via http so I would provide a basic client (with fully typed API endpoints) as a starting point.

Oh very nice, could be a winner 🏆

Hmm @timclicks.bsky.social how much effort is building a basic multiplayer 2d drifting game in Rust going to be? Thinking about running a code challenge at the next Christchurch rust meetup.

"A Comprehensive Guide to Python Project Management and Packaging Concepts Illustrated with uv"

This Reinforced Knowledge series of Python packaging might be the most comprehensive write-up I've... ever seen?

Finally have decent generated #rustlang clients for a FastAPI server thanks to @oxide.computer progenitor project.

Taking the boat up to the sounds is on my bucket list for sure

Safely back to Lyttleton

Lunch aboard

Plenty of dolphins joined us!

Smooth sailing! Stopped in at Okains bay

Very light wind in the morning but enough to sail

Up and heading out if the harbor around sunrise

Dinner and wine onboard the night before setting out

Had a small sailing adventure on the weekend. Launched in Akaroa (near Christchurch)
