I'm nearing the end of a two-month residency at MakerLabs, a community fabrication space here in East Vancouver. I'll write and share more about it online soon, but if you're in the Lower Mainland, please come out this Wednesday, February 25th from 7-8:30pm to see what I've been up to, along with the rest of the cohort!

@Tim_Eagon @marimo The ones I’ve watched so far seem to understand the genre fiction spirit of the originals better than most adaptations do, and have some very enjoyable touches. If I wanted to pick them apart, I could, but I don’t want to.

Allow me to recommend the Soviet production of Sherlock Holmes on YouTube. As an index of its vibe, this is how it depicts a man who has just arrived from Canada.

I am still a novice at Rust but it’s hard to emphasize enough how non-annoying it is in general.

I’m not a big PL nerd, but rarely do I think “oh, the people who put this together actually thought carefully about it” – Scheme, Postscript, HyperCard, Haskell maybe (I don’t know it well enough), and precious few others.

Rust feels like a low-level language designed by people who understand and sincerely appreciate current-millennium high-level languages instead of feeling insecure about them.

@urschrei I feel like one of my only semi-useful skills in geospatial is having some slight intuition around what’s going to be fast or not, and now I guess I just don’t.
