Disabling email notifications from Twitter. For some reason half of it is now NSFW semi-nude content that never appears in my normal timeline.

I think it's great how we're using AI for things humans hate doing, like visual design, art, and voice acting, so that we're left doing only the fun stuff! like, methodically cleaning up slightly off work that someone else did

Exactly this is why #rustlang is awesome. There's a part in @ernerfeldt's conclusion that I would have put in the main list: that Rust is multipurpose. It's not just a C replacement. Rather it is an alternative to each of Javascript, Python, Java, C#, and Go in different ways.

I dreamt I read a magazine article about a 70s movie. There was a picture of an LA skyline in harsh sunlight with some men behind a fence in the foreground and one with Iggy Pop quoted saying "[the director] said I was perfect for the part of Mr Edo". Please analyze!

Thread showing that the word technology doesn't mean what it used to. Apparently "technology" has to contain electronics to count.
What is something you do as a hobby or for fun that doesn’t involve technology what-so-ever?

I found this in my Windows laptop's Task Manager. 640 KB ought to be enough for anyone, right?

Ever wondered how a QR code works? No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating. (Warning, there is some extremely nerdy shit here.👇 )

If someone had told me in 1985 that in 2022, an audience would watch a ZX Spectrum load on a huge screen with the characteristic sound on loud level, followed by 64 bytes of machine code written by me displaying an anti-war message in English and Russian.. youtube.com/watch?v=r3_4KkRC…

Sigh. C#. Backwards compatibility is why we can't have nice things.

Earlier this month, we took over the town of Vadstena, Sweden to partake in the ultimate combination of work and play at our annual off-site, Hi Resolution! Want to join in on the action? We're hiring! reso.ly/3u7oc8r

In an ever-changing universe, it's good to see that at least π stays constant. (For the last 4 weeks at least.)

Wrote this with some technical details about how we call #rustlang code from #unity3d. Also includes how to rebuild and run the code in a DLL without having to restart Unity.
Are you wondering how to call Rust from C# in Unity? Our CTO Martin Vilcans dives into this topic and shares real-world examples of how we're doing this in @ultimechs. reso.ly/38HXmMM #rustlang
