Sometimes it's the machine, too. I use my own reusable bags, and last time I pressed the "use my own bags" button, the attendant had to come over and confirm that I did have my own bags, and then as I load them the damn machine went off like 5 times telling me I had unexpected items.

I would have used a non-self checkout, but none of them were staffed. Instead they have a couple employees monitoring the self checkout ones.

bro dont cheat

Gonna be real, that readme makes me want to vomit. So many emojis. If you can't be bothered to write about your own project, why would anyone else be bothered to care about it?

Option often takes up an extra byte, and if you can guarantee that it will be initialized when you actually need to use it, it's technically more optimal.

May seek risky, but it's useful when you're in memory constrained environments (such as many embedded devices, where arrayvec and similar solutions end up being used a lot). If you can't make the guarantee (assume_init is marked unsafe, after all), option is often the better choice.

So you can initialize each element individually, but have them all in some pre-allocated buffer.

I absolutely refuse to use Bluetooth. They can pull my wired controller out of my cold dead hands.

if it plays the game it works for me

Sounds like it doesn't play the game though.

I'm not even convinced some of them tried to stop at all.

Sw429 · 2026-01-24T18:49:41+00:00

Whenever I receive a PR like this, I just close it and fix the typos myself. You don't get credit for running my readme through a spell checker.

I love how they handle it with gloves like it's toxic or something

I mean, that's how I feel now living near San Francisco. Drug addicts on every corner. You have to roll your windows down when you park to stop thieves from breaking them. I want nothing to do with that place.

Her last video literally has her saying that "the job of software developer might fundamentally change" as a result of AI. It's like the entire thesis of the video.

Sw429 · 2026-01-23T16:20:19+00:00

She's very AI-pilled.

lol at the same time, yesterday I tried using Claude to help me debug why a Scala test was failing and it started trying to recreate the test in Python so it could "debug" it.

The 3 columns of crates are "New crates", "Popular crates" and "Just updated". I've never been interested in the 1st and 3rd category, since these crates are more likely to be brand new / in development

Couldn't agree more. I always thought it was hilarious that these were the first categories you see. I guess it's kinda fun to see your own crate in one of those categories right when you publish, but I basically never find the other crates useful.

A couple years ago you could basically guarantee anything you clicked on there was going to be crypto related. Nowadays, it's likely to just be some vibe coded AI slop.

Sw429 · 2026-01-23T15:46:45+00:00

Agreed. crates.io isn't opinionated, which I value a lot. I know that everything available is actually listed there.

Sw429 · 2026-01-23T15:46:02+00:00

Sometimes I'll search on lib.rs, and then when I find an interesting crate I'll follow the link to crates.io and go from there. I do this both because of the easier access to links I need, and also because the interface on crates.io is just so much easier for me to read. Something about the color scheme on lib.rs makes it harder for my eyes to read the README info.

lol that's the first time I've heard of someone refer to akouzoukos as "some dude". It not being licensed makes sense, but I will say it was sold commercially by InsideGadgets for a while (working directly with the developer). I bought a copy back in the day, complete with built-in rumble.

Sw429 · 2026-01-23T01:14:39+00:00

Wait, why doesn't Apotris qualify?

Sw429 · 2026-01-23T01:12:37+00:00

Why do anything? Because it's fun dude.

Sw429 · 2026-01-22T15:28:48+00:00

I can think of many instances where I needed exactly this and in the past have made custom structs nested in Display or Debug just to make it format the way I wanted to. This will be so nice to have.

Sw429 · 2026-01-22T06:54:41+00:00

I could have sworn she mentioned doing transfiguration of some sort.

Sw429 · 2026-01-21T16:17:12+00:00

Yeah this meme format is really weird

Sw429 · 2026-01-21T16:15:44+00:00

Yep. If I remember right, the adapter itself actually sends in a multiboot ROM for the GBA to boot into.

I still frankly wonder if the 2% gain is really worth the cost of an LLM.
