@tebillusassort I’m thinking of doing the same. I’ve only worked professionally with web technologies but I don’t particularly enjoy it and want to work with low level stuff. With the job market as it is right now, it feels like the perfect time to pivot.

@tebillusassort Everything is computer

@thdxr smh Dario was right they don’t get the vision

@crisprlol @xah_lee How is this ugly? The trait bound?

Finished The Rust Book's coverage of smart pointers by implementing interior mutability.

[Richard Jacklin @RJHouston93]

@KlondikeBob199 @cramforce It’s a positive side effect. The articles worthy of reading from start to finish are unfortunately few and far between.

Exploring smart pointers in Rust by adapting an example from The Rust Book to use a struct instead of an enum to implement a printable Cons list data structure. I was never a fan of lisp parentheses.

[Richard Jacklin @RJHouston93]

@zerion0 Cursed and looks very rust. Using std::print from 23 would make it even more so.

[Richard Jacklin @RJHouston93]

@Hi_Mrinal Yes. Also combining with tailscale will accelerate ports/ip/firewall knowledge and combining with tmux will teach importance of session persistence.

Exploring OpenAI structured model outputs.

[Richard Jacklin @RJHouston93]

@shydev69 Very cool! As you build more you will want to learn about blocking code. Your sensor reads and delays will add latency as projects get more complex (e.g., 30 ms timeout on your pulsein is far too long even though it’s an edge case).

Brevity can be a super power.

[Richard Jacklin @RJHouston93]

@anabology Ah, I’m out of the loop on these board swap projects.
