Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

Now that Valve made Linux gaming super viable I'm now 100% on Linux day-to-day. Next step: getting my RGB controls on my tower on par with the proprietary controls on Windows. #OpenRGB is about 90% of the way there, but there are some missing features for my AIO cooler. Time to reverse-engineer...

Oh fantastic, System Shock (and especially the remake!) are wildly good. The fact that it pioneered the "audio log storytelling" format in the 90s must have been mind blowing at the time

With the new Steam Machine coming out with an Arch-based Linux distro, it seems like "I use Arch, btw" will become even less of a flex than it used to be. Assuming the Steam Machine sells well, anyway.

The hardest part of the GenCon calendar backend that I'm working on with a friend is finally over! My Rust-based backend can now import about 20K events into Postgres in a little under 30 seconds 🦀💪 The work I did on the Rust backend template really paid off!

I visited Amsterdam for KotlinConf (from the US) a few years ago and was absolutely blown away by the number of areas where you can only walk, the quality of public transit, and both the availability and usage of bike lanes. We need this everywhere

Venting is always good. At the very least I'm taking comfort in the fact that the people who brought this whole situation to fruition are really starting to feel the effects of their decision which will hopefully drive better outcomes in the future

Just wait till you implement a trait you defined on a 3rd party type or a stdlib type. It's simply the best

Evan Rittenhouse @evanrittenhou.se · 07/05/2025

Yep! That works, just note that because you're destructuring from a reference that you may be setting x and y to be the type &i32 instead of just i32

Pairing that with anyhow allows you to write errors that have a catch-all anyhow variant for library errors and explicit "please handle this" variants for effective communication with other devs on your project

I also used thiserror for a while but ended up moving to derive_more due to it having basically the same functionality plus a fleet of other traits it can auto-implement, like Display or Deref.

Resident Evil 1 used this for this great moment where you walk into a room off screen, and then instead of moving into that room they backed away slowly because an unseen zombie was there the whole time.

One thing to keep in mind is that with fixed camera angles you now have the advantage of being able to set up every shot in the game.

Evan Rittenhouse @evanrittenhou.se · 04/05/2025

Oh man that was a technique used a TON on the OG PlayStation! Take a look at the original Resident Evil and Final Fantasy 7, they did the same thing to get super detailed environments without the necessary computational power: youtu.be/qqkRvMPq06A?...

In a cruel twist of irony, ICE agents have been going after NATIVE AMERICANS because they think they're from latin countries. If that doesn't make the racism involved in these deportations clear enough, I don't know what does Source: www.axios.com/2025/01/29/n...

Yeah it was the tracing facade - the "instrument" macro is really nice. This is the file where everything actually gets set up if you want to take a look: github.com/emanguy/GenC... Beyond that you just need the "instrument" macro and the logging macros provided by Tracing
