How To Learn Rust... Write A GPU Driver?!? #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/-h0q6dG4Rvk
in reply to Brodie Robertson

If you can write a (good) GPU driver in rust you’re probably pretty good at rust so sure I guess
in reply to Brodie Robertson

For learning Rust, here are few projects a beginner can work on to get used to with the borrow checker. I recommend beginners to learn the standard library before diving into third party libraries.

Beginner Projects
- Socket Programming (std::net)
- CLI Program (std::env)
- Simple File program (std::fs)



Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a #microbe a mile underground
phys.org/news/2023-11-minimali… paper: ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wil…

Magdalena Osburn: "The deep subsurface #biosphere is enormous; it's just a vast amount of space... Many of the #microbes we found were either minimalist: ultra-streamlined with one job that it does very well alongside a close consortium of collaborators, or it can do a little bit of everything. These maximalists are ready for every resource that comes along."

Event Idea: Go to IKEA and make the shorks (and other animals) more presentable.

Instead of the hajpile you often see in IKEA, put down effort and put them in the upright position.

Risk: A non-zero chance of getting banned from IKEA

@jkottke Have a great walk! Give @craigmod a dap for me (we've never met, may never meet, and I'd like to dap him). I expect you to publish an incredibly well designed and copiously photographed book upon your return!

on fedora I still use X11. Kepassxc autotype still doesn't work on Wayland. Hope once x is not available anymore these kind of features are supported.

@varia @ephemeral since you just mentioned you missed the last session, you have a second chance this Thursday


From the archives of RTÉ (Ireland's national broadcaster): This show was recorded in 1962 about the establishment of the signal towers for rural radio and television broadcast.

In it an engineer named John O'Keefe described how they chose the sites for masts in an unusual way. Rather than the usual process using contour maps, they made a 3D model of Ireland and placed lights on hills to see how signal would travel. From about 20 mins in here: rte.ie/archives/2012/1022/3426…

A linked question to #mastodaoine : I know this is a long shot, but in the documentary that I linked in the last toot, I'd love to know if anyone knew/knew about the engineer John O'Keefe, pictured here.

This was in 1962, and O'Keefe must be in their 50s at the youngest, so over 100 now. More likely there might be a death notice, a living relative, or someone that worked with them. Would be grateful for any help.

This is the beginning stages of a new art project on the five regional transmitters in Ireland.

I'm already hooked on the amazing consequences of the banal publication from the European Broadcasting Conference of 1952 (Stockholm), and how frequencies were allocated to different countries.

The steel imported from Norway, electronics from Britain, and regulations decided in Sweden already spread this so far. A single object like a signal tower can have complex social and material relationships.

This is a painting of the Australian pobblebonk frog. I created the frog by dabbing a bazillion little dots onto the canvas. At this size it’s hard to see every single dot! I have gone dotty!
