Every time I try a new thing and it works out ok it feels like I cracked another secret of the universe even if it's the silliest thing

Unless you want all sorts of different vehicles you could just make that into an enum. Of course then your kick scooter is going to take as much space as a Harley-Davidson but at least you don't have to allocate on the heap.

I'm this 🤏 close to raising a series A for my up-and-coming hardware AI blockchain web 4.2.15-alpha1 startup

I discovered Niri yesterday and I can't understand why this is not the de facto mandatory standard of interacting with computers already. This is SO GOOD

I did all my teenage years with open source msn clients that lacked most features and in doing so locked myself out of the vibe of the generation, so it was a knife that cut both ways

I also have all those disks myself, and no single piece of hardware capable of reading them 🥲

It is with deep regret that I must announce: I am old as HECK

I was moving boxes of magazines/books I had when I was a kid into the attic and accidentally found my villain origin story

Tail call optimization just landed in rust nightly! github.com/rust-lang/ru...

This completely blindsided me. I remember discovering Rust didn't have tco in like 2018 and never thought anyone was working on it. Amazing

I feel that. When I started out it crashed all the time and the user experience didn't make a whole lot of sense. But at this point I've grinded enough that I rarely ever run into issues anymore 😅 and am grateful for all the community effort that has gone into it.

I landed on FreeCAD after finding everything else grossly inadequate. FreeCAD has made leaps and bounds recently; it is still kinda hard to get into, but I recommend watching MangoJelly's tutorials as they make it a relative breeze.

gives me fond memories of that time I spent a week trying to troubleshoot a Python data pipeline taking literal minutes to start, and in the end it was the company antivirus checking numpy's DLLs over and over

My second-try Heolstor solo. I played it like a donkey but hey, at least I got a flashy start of phase2.

I didn't really like the art style, but the story is great.

I engineed the enginee that was engineered today

it doesn't work, I haven't written the firmware yet and the front wheels are all wobbly as heck but ehhh it's still a zero-to-irl-thing in a handful of hours

This morning I did a engineering instead of playing Nightreign

Just Wylder so far. Tried the others a bit but I love just getting in there and blowing up everything 😁 I think I'll finish all nightlords with it but then plan on trying all the others too. (ps if you're playing on Steam and wanna add me, I have the same @ as here!)

Gladly!

in the end I got into it too and I'm having tons of fun. I'm far from understanding how it ticks though. just failed two amazing runs and then ended up winning v Gnoster in the one that was so bad I still had my starting equipment on and zero consumables.

Big time. I personally felt the ability to just get unstuck from a rut of my own creation just by compromising a little bit and accepting a sub-par solution, which I couldn't bring myself to accept even for throwaway stuff.

I've been using PrusaSlicer for over a year now and was not aware of this. Love to hear it 🇮🇹

I need to read that!

Thank you! Macros are one of the areas of Rust that could benefit a lot from high quality documentation. It always kinda feels like here be dragons to me, despite being both super powerful and relatively common (I expect a big % of Rust devs has at least attempted once to write a proc macro)

It's definitely a super interesting idea. I'm a bit worried they might not be able to pull it off but on the other hand I haven't really been disappointed by anything From put out in the past couple decades🤞

True! That one was scary because it just popped out of nowhere but luckily the rhythm was somewhat predictable. Still very satisfying to get it right though

I'm not sure yet. On one hand, I have a number of friends who will and asked me to play, on the other I have a lot of stuff I want to play and have had in the backlog for a while. I think it'll come down to whether peer pressure and hype gets the best of me 😂

Yeah, I also felt it was kinda light on content. Otoh by the end of it I could perfect parry the tiger every time 😅

I probably already recommended this, but Team Ninja games still have that sweet multi hundred hours long learning curve. The recent Rise of the Ronin a bit less so, but Niohs and Wo Long definitely scratch that itch for me.
