Oh wow, @noahgervais.bsky.social just dropped another monster essay on the Pillars of Eternity series. Whelp, I know how I will be spending a good portion of my time today /tomorrow 😅

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow!
This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more.
Less wrestling with UI. More making games.

The mango's gestapo murdered another person this morning 😟
100% can confirm, guys with cute cat noses can be mighty attractive! 😅

That said, I've toyed around with scx_bpfland settings more than scx_lavd, so, there may be some room for experimentation. Either way, if you're not using SCHED_EXT, your kernel supports it, and you want a nice gaming boost, I definitely recommend giving them a try. 4/4
In contrast, assuming you know your use-cases well enough, and what you are doing, scx_bpfland can give similar performance benefits -without- the huge losses in those same edge cases. 3/4
I've toyed around with two (of many): scx_lavd and scx_bpfland. scx_lavd, which is sponsored by Valve, is probably the most hyped of those two, offering quite a noticeable speed increase in supported scenarios, but absolutely TANKING perf in some other scenarios (hey, its in-work) 2/4
So, one of the things I like to do is toy around with various new tech in Linux. One of the newer, less known features are the new scheduler extensions (i.e., SCHED_EXT). They allow you to replace the CPU scheduler with another one entirely during runtime. 1/4

a hidden Dark Souls bonfire I discovered
So, finally managed to beat @larianstudios.com's #DivinityOriginalSin2 today. Went with a good(?) ending 😅 At least it made sense as to what I discussed between my character and Ifan.
Also, found this little hidden homage to #DarkSouls' bonfires tucked away in a hidden alcove 😄
Apparently Donkey Kong's record label publishes music by Toad. Will wonders never cease!?
showing the raw database layout with the xxd command
and the raw byte layout looks like so:
creating a new database file, and populating it with some simple records
yay, basic persistence is working 😄
showing use of const generics for the simple pager
Its been really nice having access to const generics in rust allowing me to feed-forward various byte-sizes in a generic way 😁
output of various commands from rqlite showing field sizes in bytes as well as some example error detection when field sizes are exceeded
More progress on rqlite. Some basic "oops" detection, as well as a meta command for data sizes for sanity checks 😅
#rust #softwaredev #programming
an example showing more friendly readable text without ascii escape codes
and some quick tweaks to make it more human friendly...
terminal output from the SQLite clone program showing a "foo bar" example inserted into a table and then displayed via selection
messing around creating a SQLite clone in rust 😄

JFC... what the F@#& did the cheeto benito do now 😱
Re-ran across a video by @runevision.bsky.social on Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering. I enjoyed re-watching the video and definitely recommend it if you like learning about shaders or ever thought about how you could re-create a look similar to Return of the Obra Din. youtu.be/HPqGaIMVuLs
Code from the implementation of he Router component
I've been working on a revamp of my personal site, and I wanted to introduce some simple routing to go between pages for about, projects, skills, etc. Well, react router has become much more of a pain to work with than I remember. So, I made my own from scratch 😅
#software #sometimes-library-bad
Day 10 of #AdventOfCode was fun. The approach wasn't too bad: a tree search. The hard part, don't just find -a- match, find the -shortest- match. So we not only had to find it, but cast the search net wide & possibly deep in order to find it... Yay for potential combinatorial explosions! 😅
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.
Advent of Code has been interesting. Learning about new libs that I can use to solve the various challenges (e.g., nom, and itertools).
I would say the hardest part has been figuring out reasonable ways to mutate data without angering the borrow checker and what tools to use to get there safely 😅
this week has been WILD... the ongoing insanity has the popcorn-o-meter at FULL-TILT😅
