LLMs are wordy because output tokens generate revenue for the providers, change my mind.

normally 13kmpl fuel average used "sherry eco mode"™ and got ~16km/l granted, fresh run, single return trip, had highway, cold ambient air not hypermiling. instant fuel avg is such a good param. i know I can't get good fuel avg until 4th gear, thats when double digits appear (for km/l)
tried to read atomics and locks book by mara and the website wouldn't open. finally figured that my ISP DNS just wouldn't resolve it. not sure why that's the case
I'm starting to like C more than rust... opposite of what the world is moving to might just be that I'm a production bug experience away to start liking rust again xD
#raylib surpassed 1 Million counted downloads! 🤯 * Actually those numbers do not consider GitHub clones downloads, ~4K per day, total downloads are probably several millions 🔥 Not bad for a C low-level library...
first off, through sqlite and a raspberry pi all things are possible, so jot that down
First look of my suzuki dashboard, written in raylib. feature parity with rust TUI almost complete. Animations I want to work on more and gamify. coolant going to yellow should increase in size and stuff. it's in raylib so it deserves behaving like a game :) youtu.be/vMgydCYH9T4
Dashuki first look

math is hard man. first time using raylib,C and just in general manual graphical stuff learning a lot though. just hoping I can push through the end of this project and get it in my car. would be so cool
cmake has been the hardest thing to understand it's been way too long and I still can't exclude unity test framework from the final release files
making a project in C, using raylib i can see the appeal of the library. it's quite intuitive. it's making me learn and think a lot about how I want shapes to be made, largely fixing placement mistakes that I thought I had implemented properly hoping I can get to the end of this project
am I the only one that doesn't have claude code on my machine? I use AI in webchat exclusively. Mostly use it when learning about a protocol or simple learning, but I just can't vibe with the feeling of giving it access to code and going around making changes itself.
rewriting in rust, a dicom service that my current employer has in python. did they ask to do? no. doing partly to learn DICOM upper layer protocol. partly because I want it in production someday. probably will never see the life of prod since no one asked but meh, gives me happiness doing it
rust helped me get back from burnout. spoils and also helps recover
Arvid Gerstmann@arvid.io · 3mo agoprobe-rs, rtt, and defmt will seriously spoil you. Semihosting is awfully slow in comparison. Rust will spoil you.
probe-rs, rtt, and defmt will seriously spoil you. Semihosting is awfully slow in comparison. Rust will spoil you.
JIRA is the piece of crap that you accidentally step and then it sticks to your foot and won't come off UI just... gets stuck is it running a simulation? trading? whyyy so obnoxiously slow
still confused if i should spend time learning and making stuff in C or rust esp-idf seems like it would abstract a lot of hardware and I wouldn't learn much. with rust i could start making bare-metal code and learn more (could do similarly with C too) so rust still feels better answer
just gave esp-hal another shot. initially encountered friction of old example code that wouldn't work. after analysis paralysis of whether i use C or rust, spent more time and got rust working. fast forward, i now have esp32 comms with my device over BLE rust is so easier to write!
as much as i love ratatui, i would very much like the rats above my hanging ceiling gone
tasked to write auto-updater for our app that runs on client machines (windows) saw windows-rs crate and started writing the initial impl. using it "initial" impl. is prod ready Thing is, they're a python shop. Right now only I know rust. will have to defend it's ">" python, min. runtime errors
oh boy i just discovered noctalia-shell my barebones niri with waybar is now tranformed into niri+noctalia-shell sooooo goooodddd thanks to brodie's video. saw a comment and looked it up LOVE ITTT
Rust compiler: “You can’t do that.” Me: “Fuck you, I should be able to do that just fine.” Me, five to ten minutes later: “… oh, no, I see why I can’t do that.”
ordered an esp32 c6 so i could try rust embedded thing turned out to be a dead unit.. so wanted to use rust, gotta wait even more now
finally got the @ratatui.rs apron. kinda embarrassing now since I can't cook anything other than instant noodles 🙈 could use this as motivation to learn cooking
giving out binary using pyinstaller feels so wrong most remarks of rust are "we try to shoehorn it everywhere" but then people that only know python shoehorn it everywhere incl. system apps. as hornet says, "git gud" and learn rust. awesome tool for the job.
I'm continuously impressed with how just how good the Rust ecosystem is. Whenever I look for a crate or a CLI utility that does what I want, 95% of the time I find it. And the rest of the time, the components are right there for me to build it.
It's such a good feeling when I want to learn about a complex topic and some random youtuber has videos up about it that they made 6 years ago simple slides, white background, and just very informative
need tips for convincing a company in healthcare to adopt rust for their on-prem tools. current tool is written in python 😅 not the best choice for something that should be predictable and ideally never crash that and bundling python to exe is just... very hacky? AVs triggering and whatnot
