I'm doing this to myself, nobody is forcing me

A graph of 4 nodes, C connects to D_1, B connects to D_2. Nodes C and B each have approval functions that check D values, curved arrows point from B and C to both D values, all approving except C's approval of D_2.

Svelte is a static site generator, to me.

Was supposed to give a talk tonight at the local rust meetup on my experiences with #bevy over the last 2 years but I woke up with a cough and my voice completely gone. Second time this has had to be rescheduled lol.

In the mind of a linux DE programmer we need 1000 shortcuts for window & virtual desktop management and 3 for application use.

So many maths resources still speak with the voice of a priest giving a sermon on divine mystery and beauty rather than the mechanic who has already had several apprentices in her shop over the years all of which have gone on to solve a lot of people's real problems.

lots to be excited about in the new typst 0.15 release. Multiple bibliographies is likely an immediate win for me though, and variable fonts is always nice. Typst's docs are now using their own html export features too, which is very exciting to see progress. typst.app/blog/2026/ty...

Problem 1. This codebase is impossible to reason about, I need to split up the larger files. Problem 2. This codebase now has >60 source files and I cannot reason about it.

By age 30 you should have: - Algebraic Data Types - HM Type Inference - Type Classes with Functional Dependencies - Higher Kinded Types - First-class syntactic support for function currying

Very unglamorous first rustc pull request of "hey these doc comments didn't have the function argument name updated when the arg was changed last year."

I'm messing with this a lot more, porting @deadcardgames.bsky.social's UI to something closer to this compositional BSN. I think this is solidly in "usable" territory. It feels way better than Yew, a bit worse than Svelte. I feel like I can actually build out UI design systems now.

The scene format + its helpers from the upcoming version of bevy (0.19) is so slick btw. This is what it takes to spawn in a camera + an image UI node (imports missing ofc).

A main function for a bevy app that adds default plugins and a startup scene. This is paired with a startup_scene function that shows off the in-code BSN syntax. A camera is spawned in by this, plus an image node that takes up the entire screen. The notable factors are how only the fields with user-set values are specified (no ..default() at the end of the struct) and how the image being used is specified only be a string, not a call to an asset server.

A basic bevy window with an image of a baking paper scan that matches the height of the window.

One of the annoying things about rust is that you do need a good computer. This also translates to people with worse computers bouncing earlier.

Downside of coming back from rustweek is I've been convinced to try out a bunch of Sickos Software (jj, kagi, tangled etc.) and baby I have strong muscle memory of the software I don't like using (git, duckduckgo, github)
