Nice!

Time for some Tribes or Heroes of Might and Magic.

That game was amazing!

How did you get the Dreamcast connected to a server?

Sounds fun! I assume you’re read the Async Book?

Finally some positivity around async Rust!

I write a lot of embedded C for a living, and can’t wait for the ecosystem to get better so I can switch to Rust. Threading always starts simple. All I need is to spawn a thread and wait for a message on a queue. Then requirements change and I’m waiting on multiple messages from multiple other threads and suddenly I’m writing yet another state machine that async Rust would write for me.

I also wish I had “coloured” functions in my embedded code. Often times it’s not even documented if a function blocks or not, and sometimes the behaviour changes depending on compile time configuration (blocking, or interrupt driven, or DMA, etc.).

Async Rust certainly has it’s complexity too, but at least to my brain it would make a lot of my code much simpler.

I need to find some time to really dig into Embassy one of these days.

Startrekers, Inc.

Totally!

I hit burnout an now “productivity” is a dirty word. I’ve discovered that it is healthy to take time for yourself, even if it is to literally do nothing.

Programming is both my career and hobby, but I’ve had to adjust my free time to allow my mind to just let go a bit more often.

Was that the episode where he seduces the village elder’s daughter after winning 10 arm wrestling matches in a row at the tavern?

This is the story of a little ship that took a little trip

He likes their opera?

I think the officers do get some form of stipend. I can’t recall if this was mentioned directly in the show though.

Do we know if any Federation members use money?

In Star Trek, all the software is built by prompting some AI, so nobody knows what the fuck the code is actually doing. 😅

Allamaraine, then three more

One of the episodes that stuck with me since I’ve been a kid.
