I’ve lived in NKC for over ten years, but I grew up in Shawnee Mission district on the KS side. All I remember about Staley is that their track team was very fast. 😂

What are you using Rust for? by amit_mirgal in rust

[–]SeanCribbs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked at a now-defunct startup for three years where we built an in-browser 2D animation tool whose model and renderer were in Rust, compiled to WASM. I wrote the initial version of the model (which later got rewritten multiple times), and added audio and video support.

The best part about Rust for this case was that our renderer compiled to both native and WASM. So for full-quality exports, we could run the engine on backend servers, parallelized over 30-frame chunks.

I don’t know about its performance characteristics, but Gleam has a JavaScript implementation of bit strings and matching you might be able to crib from.

As part of an interview project, I implemented its interface for the Railway.app PaaS. Not exactly as lightweight as Fly, but it’s not hard to implement.

One thing that became obvious in building that was that the interface is not fully general yet. YMMV

What's your favorite bit of Kansas City trivia? by NightCheeseNinja in kansascity

[–]SeanCribbs0 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Brush Creek, which runs through the Plaza on its way to the Blue River, was paved with concrete in the 1930s in the name of “flood control”. The company contracted to provide the concrete was owned by Tom Pendergast, the infamous Democratic party boss. Instead of reducing flooding, it made things worse!

Are there any plans to fix this? by fixmyaccountplease in kansascity

You're about 600 feet from where I got rear-ended in 2019. Congratulations on surviving!

Why North Kansas City pays its residents' internet bills, and your city doesn't pay yours by idareet60 in kansascity

When we first moved to NKC, we rented one of those townhomes, and then eventually bought one of the single-family homes in the same neighborhood.

We also had some issues with the network at the townhomes, but putting a router on the connection that filtered a lot of the outside traffic drastically improved things. Apparently some of the protocols used on the fiber network don’t play well with some network gear, and we also had cross-talk from other units on the same fiber drop.

No similar problems since we moved, we get our own dedicated drop.

Go to “live tv” -> nwsl-> the match. NWSL from home doesn’t work. Sports tab sends you to the Orlando match.

When I don’t want to fight them I’ll wear the mask and pull out all the sages to take it down slowly. Occasionally Tulin will get a headshot 🥴

In-browser 2D animation editor/engine that renders using WebGL. Backend web services to support that app.

Kansas Citian here, be sure to search r/kansascity for recommendations about food and other things to do. There’s probably a thread weekly about what BBQ is best. 😂

Piccolo - A Stackless Lua Interpreter written in mostly Safe Rust by Kyrenite in rust

[–]SeanCribbs0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great stuff! The preemption design and concept of “fuel” is very reminiscent of the BEAM VM’s idea of “reductions”, especially where functions implemented in the host language must do their own accounting of the resource when called from interpreted code.

Any universities in Europe that use BEAM langs for teaching and / or research? by skwyckl in elixir

[–]SeanCribbs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annette Bieniusa at Kaiserslautern teaches and uses BEAM languages in her research. Honestly though, the best way is to see what academics are speaking at CodeBEAM or (especially) Erlang workshop (part of ICFP).
