@diondokter despite having device-driver on my radar for a while, I’ve never actually used it and would like to.

I’m realizing that I don’t have a good intuition for its relationship to HAL, PAC, and BSP crates.

New blog post: a grand vision for Rust

Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering Explained

YouTube

Hearing about a young hacker whose being extorted by the University of Washington, not cool UW.

The student claims they built an app to help kids get the course schedules they want, a hack as old as time, and the university decided to expel him until he ports his app to the university's internal systems.
