As if dystopia is somehow what we are steeped in: two reptiles, a lizard and a striper snek, have degloved themselves in the holes of my solo stove fire pit in the last two days. Decapitated the liz to put it out of its misery and ice + olive oil extracted the snek, with one lesion — she might not make it. Stowing the fire pit in the shed. So sorry.

Overall, I think the Ray Tracer project is a good Rust "nuts and bolts" project. You have to write code spanning multiple files. There's refactoring and debugging. You have to translate some C++ specific idioms into Rust idioms. And you get to look at pretty pictures.

Not sure if I'll continue to run this course in the future, but you can join me for me the last one of the summer this Weds/Thurs. https://dabeaz.com/raytrace.html

i’m trying to use bluesky again for a day or two, because I have some mutuals there that I miss from X. But I can barely function under the character limits. That is not a place for people who think in full sentences…
