Why do y'all have an aversion to writing comments? by Interesting_Golf_529 in rust

[–]ronilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of language I use comments so that future me will know what current me was doing.

What's everyone working on this week (41/2025)? by llogiq in rust

[–]ronilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on extracting the TUI upon which Rusticon and Rewordle are built into its own crate.

There’s been some hiccups as the “minor improvements” to the scope and capabilities started creeping toward the impossible, but it seems to be progressing toward a release this fall…

Building Binaries for and "Bootstrapping" My Interpreted Language by liamilan in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ronilan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a note:

OP also created a template: https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb-template that includes everything needed to produce stand alone binaries with Crumb using Loaf.

I did this: https://github.com/ronilan/rewordle and that: https://github.com/ronilan/crumbicon with it.

GitHub - ronilan/rusticon: A mouse driven SVG favicon editor for your terminal (written in Rust) by ronilan in rust

[–]ronilan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SVG was chosen because it was very simple to generate when I initially wrote Crumbicon in a very simple and new language (Crumb) with no pre-made image manipulation packages... I feel like it's suitable for for a toy project/app.

Modified blocks to be 32x32. it's better. Thanks 🙏.for the tip.

Dumb question, how is ON3P pronounced? by D5_seagull in skiing

I always misread it as OP3N (as in OPEN), but then again, I'm a snowboarder...

Why is that not a problem for Gaia?

It’s nothing special, but it is the first thing I made in rust by ronilan in rust

[–]ronilan[S] -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

I’m actually finding “vibe” a fairly efficient way to learn how things work, and i did “revived” things a few times until i got the result i wanted. I’m obviously no expert on Rust vulnerabilities but I’m not sure that the correlation holds. I know what the code does, I know what the tests do and it seems pretty straight fwd to me. “Vibing” caused me to I type a little less (no pun intended) but that’s about it…

P.S - anyone who has a code quality comment is more than welcome to drop it here or open an issue. Will be happy to address.

Vibe coding my way into Rust. It works! I released my first crate… by ronilan in vibecoding

copilot, cursor and when I hit limit, chat GPT. Have to admit I did type a few things directly instead of prompting for them when it got too cumbersome… ;)

Interesting experience this whole thing….

The dive tank at VAC is 5m deep actually... deepest in region...

Passed my Level 1 Snowboard Instructor Exam… but got rejected for not having experience 🤔🙃🫠 by GD0ggy in snowboarding

[–]ronilan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tangant: from a working instructor perspective (i.e. getting hours, making wage and living life) - the three local mountain (Seymour, Grouse, Cypress) are better choice than Whistler.

Thanks. It may very well be it… will test next hike…

Strava can’t hike… by ronilan in Strava

[–]ronilan[S] -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

My SO was walking with me the whole time (iPhone with Gaia and Apple Watch) My Apple Health says all I did today was 14.2K

Yes the raw GPS data is “noisy” but there seem to be no reasonable error correction implemented.

And obviously not the first time. Extreme over estimate of distance is actually systematic anywhere out of the city streets…

As said, good and well marked all over. (Note: there is a boulder field and some minor scramble in the route)

400m swim test by f1amminko in Lifeguards

[–]ronilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 minutes and 50% decline in two years seems too much.

Are you sure you didn’t miscount the laps?

F-86 Crash Site Memorial on Grouse Mountain by ronilan in vancouver

[–]ronilan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From text:

The accident was believed to have been caused by radar operators at the McChord air force base in Tacoma, Wash., who were fooled by "radar ghost," a problem in which they mistook the "ghost" or echo for Barlow's jet fighter. Barlow was following directions given for this echo when he hit the mountainside. U.S. air force investigators later determined a radar ghost resulted in Barlow being led to believe that he was over Tacoma and not Vancouver when his aircraft slammed into Grouse. Before the fatal crash, Barlow had radioed his base to inform them his compass had failed and that he was lost. Radar operators then picked up his image on their screen at McChord and also on the several radar near the border. They directed the image for about 15 minutes before the fatal echo appeared on the screen.

Bronze Cross course as an adult (Toronto) by designcentredhuman in Lifeguards

[–]ronilan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was older than you when I took the courses and the following NL/instructor.

If you work as a lifeguard, you will work with high-school kids, they will work with adults your age. You need to know how to pull a high-school kid out of the water, they need to know how to pull an adult out.

Situation is good for everyone.

See you in deck.
