I have recently been messing around with the smithay 
library for making wayland compositors. It is essentially wlroots but
for Rust. I’ve decided to write down what I’ve learned about it to
organize everything as an aid to my understanding to this stuff. 
 What is Wayland? 
 Wayland is the modern replacement for the venerable X11
protocol, and more and more…

Scientific Computing in Rust 
 While getting my degree in Physics, I had to take classes in both MatLab and Python

undergraduate research project simulating bacteria films. There’s a catch: I was
also pursuing a…

 I set up read/write access to repos on my
VPS using the standard
 git tutorial .
Then, I went through my repos and
 git remote set-url origin…
