My Rusty journey has been off to a slow start this year. Predictable, somewhat, but the combination of my 8-month old’s sleep regression alongside my wife’s business at work (she’s in compensation, and it’s end-of-year review time) has hit my capacity to hack quite intensely. Couple this with an on-call rotation for work and… I know what you’re thinking,…

So I’ve decided to actually start learning Rust. I’ve considered it a couple of times before but I always found some reasons to avoid going deep. For example: There’s was no mainline support for RISC-V I’ve done some small hobby work with RISC-V in C, but this small hump seemed good enough to stop me from diving into Rust - oh for shame. Fast forward to today I think I can…
One thing I’ve heard more than a few times in recent years is some concept of “ego free engineering”. People usually aren’t super explicit with this concept, but I’d say it’s fairly common practice to encourage people to contribute to a discussion whilst ignoring the possibility of hurting another’s feelings. Whilst I agree with this concept - I actually…
Hi internet! Here’s my obligatory post mainly aimed at ensuring things are working as expected. I plan to write some real content soon about either a game server I’m tinkering on, or a new high end desktop build I’m putting together for ML purposes. Stay tuned! (testing blocks only, follow)
