You Can't Do That is a sleeper banger

i didn't realize until the 2024 Mix how heavy the beats were

website interface of Pally.

made a (barely functional proof-of-concept) WASM+JS shell for Pally, a NES palette generator

This uses the fresh Rust port, so some features may be borked or not present.

We are discussing age verification to access the internet. If you don't want your child to access specific content on the internet, the solution is to parent your child, not to have the state forcibly remove the security, civil liberties, anonymity, and privacy of every adult using the internet.

What the Supreme Court hearing about age verification could mean for you The court's decision could set a new precedent for free speech online.

I've seen people dismiss the Pornhub bans, sometimes couching their dismissal in an anti-porn stance. What I don't think they realize is that the people pushing this stuff conflate porn with LGBTQ people and sex education and are part of Project 2025

GitHub - Gumball2415/pally at rust-port yet another NES palette generator. Contribute to Gumball2415/pally development by creating an account on GitHub.

as a bonus prize, have a Rust port of Pally! not yet done but looking promising in the future. i am planning to have an interactable UI on my site

github.com/Gumball2415/...

if i were to do this kind of thing again, i really must emphasize on recollection and summary, in order for them to retain in my mind much better.

overall, it was a rich experience learning a programming language with such an ecosystem, and such a compiler with an error message. the only limit i feel is how succinct i can express my code, and needing to interact with other code.

Rust to me feels a lot like C, but with a more extensive stdlib, and a much more strict, yet informative compiler. the ecosystem feels comfy, i don't really have to download and add to PATH any headers too!

it was hard to wrap my head around certain subjects, such as the borrow checker, the concept of traits vs struct/enum associated functions, etc. i wish i could get a better grasp on them to make less messy code, but i'm quite a bit confident in the basics for now.

i've also been less and less focused over time in my sessions, i'm unsure if it's something to do with my attention span, or if i'm just easily distractible. i won't dare to self-diagnose, but i loosely recall being diagnosed with ADHD as a small child.

considering i wasn't doing much (semestral break), it was easy most of the time. but on other times, it was difficult to plan around irl events and situations, so i guess it went alright, all things considered.

reflecting on this experience, it was quite a hassle at first to figure out how to slot my sessions within my day-to-day.

# Epilogue

#rust #programming #software #journal

- [x] complete The Rust Programming Language (The Book), Rustlings, and Rust By Example within 6 weeks
- [x] have a library of quick references in your notes
- [x] demonstrate knowledge of Rust with a final project

looks like i've met all my goals!

i scrambled most of the day to figure out a WASM shell for Pally to be run on a static site, but i suppose i was very distracted and tired at this point.

- The Book: 22 (End of Experiment)
- Rustlings: 94/94 (done)
- RBE: 24 (done)

i finished most of the file outputs that Pally currently supports (excluding .png).

the rust port hasn't implemented colorimetry options yet. that may be done at a later date.

it's been such a long ride...

really?? i guess i'll see what happens

time to finish pally!

i wonder if the reason phrase in an HTTP response is standardized or not; can i write whatever inside there?

this subchapter is pretty long too, but it feels within my reach that i can finish the book in time

Critically acclaimed games getting caught in the itch/steam censorship nonsense sucks but remember that we need to, on principle, defend every game getting censored even if they are “porn games” because if you say some censorship is ok it becomes the slipperiest of slopes to all censorship is ok

macros feel pretty powerful, but i haven't grasped traits fully yet..

noticing some subtle misspellings of heading names in the pages' backlinks too

enum variants are also initializer functions?

also wow everything is a type in Rust, even traits and functions...

These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.
