I learned Rust for a few days, then abandoned it because there wasn't a project that I could use it on.

Now I am picking it up again, and this time I'm practicing it by writing a Raytracer, following this excellent book: https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html. Trying to rewrite the more familiar C++ code into Rust is the main learning experience for me.

I gotta say, it wasn't too challenging, allowed you to get use to Rust uniqueness and see some visual output for your code. Recommended.

Just finished the first Raytracing book written with Rust. My first attempt at writing a Rust program. Taught me a tremendous amount of knowledge, both in Computer Graphics and Rust.

Definitely recommended for everybody.

From Zero isn't their best album. But not a bad album. Leave you wanting some more because 31mins is too little. I am waiting for their next one.

Learning Google Cloud Platform to get a cert (a requirement of my current company). Half the services/options specified in the preparation material are currently deprecated.

Google need to seriously learn from AWS to make their cloud offering stable. I don't want to learn about a new service every 2 weeks and then find out it will be scraped in the next month.

@ByrdNick There is the Web Extension called "I don't care about cookie" that blocks the popup/click accept automatically. Never had to see that annoying popup since installation.

Starting to get hooked on the new Linkin Park single. This feels like high school all again. Read the lyrics and realize this is a f**k-you from the band to all toxic poser fan, critics, and the music industry. Probably how they felt when people called One More Light a pop sellout.

I always respect people who don't give a single f**k and keep up with their creative vision, regardless of how I feel about their output.

@Htbaa I like the new single. It sounds like their old popular records. Which for me is alright cuz Linkin Park is usually my comfort music.

Okay I feel like I would dig the new album of Linkin Park. I don't know much about all the allegations around the new singer, but she has decided to step up and defend herself, so I think it's all good.

Idgaf about all the purists saying it is not the same band anymore. Dude, LP changed their styles between almost every album. Last time yall made the same argument against One More Light, and nobody gaf.

AC/DC did this before, it's alright.

I wrote a write-up on how I build my CVs using #typst , a new LaTex alternative. With a bit of data wrangling, I can maintain a registry of my projects, experiences and pull them in for a new CV. Overall, the workflow is quite ergonomic (for a terminal dweller). Making CV now for me feels like playing Lego.
