Sucks that if you get a @kilohearts subscription your are lured in with "getting $100 credit per year". Then comes black Friday they give $100 off but you can't use the credit you've accumulated. So I've already spent $140 and get exactly same discount as someone that hasn't 😭

didn't see the small print!! irony is I got the subscription just before last year's black Friday thinking I could combine both discounts together. Sucker, note to self should read small print more often!

I just got a free month for @Telegraph , don’t normally bother with the news and a week in I remember why!! Readers can also comment on articles, most of the comments are by the uk version of truth social members 😢 Glad it was free, won’t be doing that again!

Been having a play with Rust 🦀 and made this Spectrum Analyser audio plugin (not fully finished!). github.com/Cmdv/nih_plug_spe…
Quite different to Haskell but still cool you can make VST/CLAP plugins. Had to learn a bunch of DSP concepts, Nih_plug, Iced and Rust but it's doable 😅

Sorry for sounding elitist, but all the best software engineers I come across end up gravitating towards FP. It often takes them years as a gradual process, but FP solves many problems that OOP struggles with. I wish FP people would stop with the math and category theory though.

I find it fascinating the amount of content available on complex subjects in Haskell.
Yet when looking for good/basic architectural design patterns for production apps there are so few. 😢

Got a rather big app in Haskell that I’m trying to profile it’s memory usage. Have a high feeling this is going to be painful!!! Any good blog posts / tutorial recommendations?

Agile used to be my “why won’t people shut up about this false hype”, now it’s frying “AI”. 💩

Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed learning ML and think some of its uses are great. But I don’t need to see AI in everything especially when it’s just an algorithm not actual ML or LLM etc 🤷
