mastodon 4.7.3I do programming theatre. The 0.1X engineer. He/Him. Ferris is my spirit animal. I tend to work on rust iOS stuff for fun.
I published a release of coreaudio-rs today. https://github.com/RustAudio/coreaudio-rs/pull/145. This release adds tvOS and visionOS and fixes a leak in some of the objc-rust glue. This is a minor release so it'll take a bit to get into cpal and then eventually something like bevy. #rust
How about making GitHub not go down every other day rather than some agent thing that I assume sucks?
I wrote some words on how one could write iOS app UI Tests in rust. https://simlay.net/posts/2026-01-rust-xctesting/ Could have just as easily titled it "hacks on hacks". Also, I should make my site more mobile friendly.
Visiting parents and their aging house is an exercise in yak shaving. Replacing a bulb in a yard light, I bumped the siding and it fell off, fixing the siding required some sealant, all the sealant was old and it exploded out the side. Going depth first would mean a dark work site with broken glue.
"Watching" smaller dependencies on GitHub has taught me so much useful random crap. Basically any vim plugin or non-mainstream repo I use, I follow.
I've been trying out Ollama to self-host LLMs on my archlinux box. The thing I've noticed is how many non-engineers are creating/commenting on the GitHub issues. It kinda feels like the blind leading the blind.
Is there a local first CI yet? It'd be nice if there was a cryptographic way to ensure CI checks were actually ran on someone else's computer. Someone surely is puttin' this "on da chain"
It’s becoming clear to me that AI is mostly cool if I have it and no one else does.
In an early iteration of the internet, we built web APIs allowing engineers to write software against it and automate stuff. These days, the best (least bad) way to do this is wire up playwright and an AI agent and pray or something.
I really need to keep a notepad of future tweet/skeet/toots. I don't need my recently learned lessons to trigger repercussions in my current situation.
