I have open-sourced my financial report generator: github.com/djkoloski/fi... I use this to understand and track my finances over time. I tend to live within my means, avoiding debt and minimizing lifestyle creep. But just living by solid principles doesn't put you in control of your finances.

The latest rkyv release fixes a bunch of security-related validation bugs. It took longer than I'd like because I've been really really busy lately. So the real credit goes to Title V of the United States Code for making July 4th a federal holiday.

I was recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It's a "disease of chaos" that completely upturned my life for a couple months. I wrote a blog about it that goes into more detail and discusses prognosis. :-) burntsushi.net/encephalitis/

Calvin and Hobbes "Playing X?" meme:

"Programming mario? I'll show you something interesting."
"The two axes of personality are Wario and Luigi. All items fall along these axes. Mario? Neither Wario nor Luigi. Waluigi? Both." "Yeah..."
"Objective C? Luigi. C++? Wario. Python? Mario. Javascript? Waluigi."
"Despite being low-level and strongly typed, Rust is actually Luigi."

the main reason i don’t like seeing llm pull requests is because it removes the human connection. you can compensate for this with flattery, which is suitably distracting for a guy like me.

fixing my arch installation has slowly become my “do a little bit every day” zen gardening activity. today i made a systemd unit to mount my NAS samba share of MP3s on login, and fixed an ALSA issue that was showing up in my bevy logs.

learning rust is like drinking the dune poison because you have a powerful psychic experience and then you find out if you're the only person who did it and survived who was still a man

one of my coworkers once asked me how i made good slideshows. i have two main rules: 1. content is king 2. readability is queen everything in your slideshow should be content or improve readability, and readability is attention engineering. some (opinionated) practical tips based on those rules:

Ball X Pit isn't bad per se, but it's all meta progression over skill expression and the game has a very extensive grind. Most of the time it plays like a carefully timed slot machine - one where playing well won't make you win, and playing badly won't make you lose.

The United flight departure safety video plays a ball rolling around a rube goldberg machine while people are trying to explain what to do in an emergency. It’s like when people play subway surfers alongside another video to keep people engaged.
