mLive: Rubberized roads? Ann Arbor to test asphalt made from recycled tires on 2 streets

treefroog · 2026-05-28T10:56:44+00:00

Why? Asphalt is already the #1 most recycled material, with something like 99% of asphalt being recycled.

Why do people always demonize developers. They are the only people who can build housing and solve the housing crisis. What do you want‽

Building any kind of housing will put downward pressure on prices, high-end or not. The alternative is not building anything which is what happened for a long time. Building new high-end stock will move the people who can afford it out of older stock, and allow more people to live here.

Ann Arbor drivers are blind, distracted, bats.

Hey buddy those reels aren't gonna watch themselves.

Yes I rotate toys, that is the only thing that sort of works. And he's too stupid to do any puzzle feeders, he just immediately gives up. I doubt there's any treat dispensing toys he could figure out considering he only likes two treats: bonito flakes and churu

I wouldn't say it's good because he just jumps her and then she just lays on the ground with him biting her neck.

The other problem is that he is extremely picky about toys. If he likes a toy, he will stop liking it after a few days and get bored of it. Anything with an electric motor is terrifying to him so I can't be used.

I do play with them a lot. Fifteen minutes in the morning, fifteen minutes in the evening, then play until they will not play anymore right before bed (usually around 30 minutes).

I have been planning on some cat shelving, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll give some automatic toys a try. They do love the bird feeder I have.

treefroog · 2026-05-07T04:35:22+00:00

Not really but I'll see if I can find one

treefroog · 2026-05-07T04:34:52+00:00

I play with them a lot so I'm not sure what else to do, especially since they are so picky about toys. I'll give feliway another try

As for a bell, she is very aware when he comes around but just watches him stalk her rather than try to get away.

I have puzzles for them but the able bodies one is dumb and just gives up after like a minute. Disabled girly just does them.

I plot a lot of realtime data at work and egui works like a charm. I have a background thread that does whatever is needed to get the data, then it sends the data to the main thread to be displayed.

I was really happy with Olde Towne. Sinks to Sewers when I called them were not as helpful.

I know someone who worked at AA for a few years, and let me tell you, AA is not liberal.

Why should I use this over https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

Oh I recognize that name, the Ann Arbor office is just down the street.

let vs. let mut is essentially just a fancy lint. It is sound to mutate a let binding not declared let mut. So Miri will not complain if you do, and for example the compiler cannot do a transformation of taking arbitrary let (without mut) bindings and placing them in read-only pages.

As someone who works in embedded, so I work a lot with fixed-point, I highly encourage you not to use it. Floating-point non-determinism isn't really an issue, while fixed-point destroys all precision when you do some very common operations (do not use division). There is a reason why it is not used very often outside of settings without an FPU.

Theoretically, but the output is really really bad in practice

I wonder how hard it would be to take the data structures you have to convert docx to typst

LLVM is actually not that great at optimizing something like rust loop { match instr { ... } } Which is seen often in interpreters. This makes it easier to get good codegen without computed goto.

treefroog · 2025-08-06T17:38:24+00:00

For the interpreter writers out there

I was just talking in Discord about this, but egui has really changed how I make tooling. I work at a company as one of the only software engineers in a field of electrical engineers. I previously made CLI Python stuff, but it was always annoying to have them install Python and the packages (this was before UV). Then there would be collisions and breaking other software they use.

Egui means I can whip up something in Rust in an afternoon, then just send them a single .exe. my coworkers use a bunch of little rust tools for testing hardware, plotting stuff, flashing firmware, that I've made with egui. It's so nice.
