New tool from me: I wrote a local aligner that can do approximate reference-based alignment and find genes in a query microbial genome, without a separate indexing step or any temporary disk space usage.

Written fully in Rust and there will be a browser version out later: https://github.com/tmaklin/kbo 1/3

Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file explorer, powered by a virtual distributed filesystem written in Rust. It is still in Alpha 0.4.2.

Just released nix-weather, a #rust cli-tool to check how many of your NixOS system’s build dependencies are in a binary cache.

$ nix-weather -n myhost -c /etc/config/

Found Nix Requisites in 8 seconds
Checked 2789 packages in 1 seconds
Found 2676/2789 (95.95%) in cache

This is useful to e.g. “check the weather” before going for an update. If the dependencies you want still haven’t been cached, it can be useful to know you can postpone an update to a later day when the weather is better on the cache.

Feel free to try it out from the GitHub mirror (it’s likely faster than my forgejo instance, and I’d appreciate saving the bandwidth).

NEW BLOGPOST: Why am I writing a #Rust #Rustlang compiler in C?

https://notgull.net/announcing-dozer/

The Cosmic desktop is still alpha but the concept of a desktop enviroment based of Rust is promising. I am looking forward to seeing the progress of this project in the coming months.

rust9x 1.76.0 is close! Now with unwinding, backtrace support and thread parking working :V

#rust #retrocomputing

i'm working on a little #rust library that lets you define a set of rules and then simulate a cellular automaton. here it is running game of life in a terminal, but you can have arbitrarily many¹ rules and states. i'm planning to make a web app out of this, so you can play around with cellular automata in your browser :3

¹ it's actually just 232, thanks for pointing out that very relevant distinction
