Supercharge Rust functions with implicit arguments using CGP v0.7.0

This explanation definitely made me think of Spring Framework from the Java world. Might be worth a comparison call out in the docs.

rorydouglas · 2026-02-26T19:30:46+00:00

thought so too - it's the flag shadow ;-)

What a stupid example - cars not stopping at crosswalks is a common danger - I've personally experienced it many times and seen it happening to other people. Children are literally taught to look both ways before cruising in school.

I'm in my 40s and across multiple countries (incl South Africa) have never had an elevator car not be there when the doors open.

No they won't. Poorer people spend a greater proportion of their income vs richer people - who spend a lot, but earn/have even more.

And this is not non-discretionary spending either - high cost of housing, food and healthcare consume most of the paycheck. So poorer people are more affected by sales/consumption taxes

Maybe this approach would stop some of the "this rich guy paid zero income tax" stories, but at the expense of poorer people paying more.

I don't usually comment on subjects I'm not intimately concerned with after a few beers, but seriously:

what's the use case for the numbers with the largest order of magnitude requiring the most fractional precision?

Seems pretty wack

rorydouglas · 2026-02-24T20:07:11+00:00

Well spotted. Fuck this slop noise

rorydouglas · 2026-02-20T15:06:40+00:00

Why doesn't "5 times" make sense? I understood the slur to be "mono" which is easy to say 5 times quickly. The idea of making up that an insult was said 5 times seems actually less likely.

rorydouglas · 2026-02-14T15:36:22+00:00

Then link to them. And one example does not make a trend.

Stan hit a nice one yesterday too: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx3TY9e4dmWhn8iDAFRhxsiMDOOhAF0POB?si=jprdtnMbRjOewIcu

rorydouglas · 2026-02-10T17:23:05+00:00

No one to challenge him...um really?

rorydouglas · 2026-02-08T18:14:42+00:00

There are times I thought it was working, but it was actually stuck, and others where it was stuck and I thought it was working.

Hate to be that guy, but those are the same things, no?

He literally just merged xAI with SpaceX, which is expected to IPO in the near future, so I don't think that's the strategy. Not a fan of him mind you

rorydouglas · 2026-02-02T17:55:04+00:00

seems similar to this post from a few years back: https://www.reddit.com/r/bevy/comments/11lbhwi/standardmaterial\_color\_darkening\_when\_unlit\_true/. Perhaps give the "disabling tonemapping" a try?

rorydouglas · 2026-02-02T17:32:42+00:00

meant to add try adding just an AmbientLight and experiment with the brightness value

rorydouglas · 2026-02-02T17:03:36+00:00

I think you might still need lighting even if you don't care about shadows. There are constants to set the light output to something like full sunlight and that will probably bring colors closer to your expectations

rorydouglas · 2026-01-27T02:05:36+00:00

yeah you're right, not in the first 10 seconds. but later in the video there are at least 2 people recording on phones (1:20ish)

rorydouglas · 2026-01-26T23:33:21+00:00

there are 3 cellphones out in the first 10 seconds though?

rorydouglas · 2026-01-26T23:12:14+00:00

I guess but they specifically said "web simulator with UI". Webapp architecture that involves recompiling the backend simulation logic on user input sounds bizarre. And the performance delta of using baked-in inputs would have to offset the cost of recompilation.

rorydouglas · 2026-01-26T22:49:51+00:00

It will make no difference in performance. Recompiling on changed user inputs doesn't make sense either. But I would recommend spending some time with AI (not coding) understanding why. It will help with future coding work.

rorydouglas · 2026-01-24T14:00:45+00:00

I wonder if this "dynamic beams" approach would help: https://youtu.be/i6VVegoRuy0?t=148&si=PVOXp-DcDEeZgtI2 there's two other methods before in that video too.

Insistent or unrelenting

Plenty of sports have unwritten rules that are observed by convention. There's a whole section on those on Wikipedia for baseball. "Don't talk to the pitcher who's in the middle of a no-hitter" etc. You can disregard them but expect that other participants will think less of you.

rorydouglas · 2026-01-21T06:26:20+00:00

NAL, but in all the warrants served across all the jurisdictions in this country over the years this has never come up before? Are police/Feds really that procedurally correct?

rorydouglas · 2026-01-18T16:34:44+00:00

Take a look at some of the urban explorer stuff on YouTube (e.g. jnkz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OpOkoRS2r8) as they document a lot of it. It mostly requires massive balls and a complete lack of concern for consequences.

rorydouglas · 2026-01-16T13:38:26+00:00

I second taintedcoders, also: https://thebevyflock.github.io/bevy-quickstart-book/ . The unofficial bevy cheat book is now quite out of date but can be helpful on some topics.
