Working on mazes on the side gave me a new idea for fōrma that needed texture support. It was long overdue anyway. And combining new features with the previous ones is already leading to some interesting effects. #rust #wgpu #rendering #rustlang #forma #generativeArt #creativeCoding
I've spent time the last few days on a fixed-point decimal arithmetic library for #rust. Why? Because the existing ones all seem to store the position of the decimal point. This takes up space and complicates some things. Instead, my crate parameterizes the struct on the precision (number of digits) and scale (position of the decimal point). It allows 38 digits with any decimal position with a 128-bit representation. I'm not done but so far it's very nice for implementing SQL DECIMAL. #rustlang

Taskfinder version 2.10.0 has been released!

This one comes with proper tag support, the ability to filter tasks by recurring status, and **BLINKING** overdue dates (but you can turn that off if you aren't as exciting about it as I am).

I also edited the usage documentation fairly heavily, and hopefully it's better for it.

Changelog: https://codeberg.org/kdwarn/taskfinder/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2-10-0-https-codeberg-org-kdwarn-taskfinder-compare-v2-9-0-v2-10-0-2025-06-25

What if I made a #PackageManager in #Rust that works with any package type on any distro…

You could install debs, rpm, pkgs, appimages (maybe you want to install it somewhere for cleanliness and management), flatpaks, even compiling source tarballs, anything under the sun (except snap, IIRC packaging issues are common there and it breaks things) on one package manager on any distro… imagine that.

I really wanna do that now.

Did you know that every Option in rust can also be an iterator simply by calling into_iter() on it?

🚀 Hands-on with Google's new Gemini CLI - an open-source AI coding assistant for the terminal

Tested it with Rust exercises and found:
✅ Impressive auto-resolution
⚠️ Sandbox mode limits external tool access
🔧 Extensive customization options

Promising and needs refinement for external tool workflows.

Just added some serious discipline to CharmGuard, an open-source focus assistant in @rust!
✨ Now blocks distracting apps during deep work using:
- sysinfo to monitor processes
- A YAML blocklist of "uh-oh" apps
- Instant reports when temptation strikes 👀
CLI-native, structured logs, GitHub CI, and... sass. Like a librarian judging your tabs ☕💻
