Man nostalgia hits you like a truck.
Just remembering the gameboy colour and Pokémon yellow.
I had a Mew that would not listen to me.
Beating the elite 4 was hard.
I had to borrow an Alakazam from my cousin.
Serves me right for not training all my Pokémon equally.

I wrote a little guessing game a few years ago when I was first learning Rust.
The other day, I decided to remake it in C.
I was not expecting the difference in size. The games are identical, but the Rust version is 5 MB while the C version is 16 KB.
The random number crate might be the reason 🤔

Adding command-line options to a C program is actually way more pleasant than I expected.

Chapter 9. Probably the fastest progress I’ve made with a book I was expecting to be dry. The reviews aren’t selling it short.

I talk about learning Haskell a lot, but I figured it was time to go a bit lower level and start working with some C.
If you haven’t read this book yet, it’s really good. I’m only on chapter 8, but I’m enjoying it so far.

When clearing out your documents directory and you find a file that is most probably a drawing.
But you don’t have the software to open it installed.

To install GIMP or not…

Just sold my 15 year old MacBook Pro.
It might become a useful server for someone else.

🎬 Just released ReqCassette v0.1 - VCR-style HTTP testing for @elixir-lang.org's Req
library!

✅ Async-safe ✅ Built on Req.Test ✅ Perfect for API testing (specially with
the new ReqLLM in mind)

Everything is Haskell if you squint hard enough. But nothing is as good as the real thing.

How much C Lang can I learn in 4 days 🤔
*sigh* there is never enough time.

The zed editor (by @zed.dev ) has finally come to windows.
I use Helix, but if I ever end up back on windows again, and need an editor, I know what I’ll be using.

Did a Python test recently and realized Haskell has completely rewired my brain.
I wrote length(some_iterable) instead of len(some_iterable); fair enough, that’s muscle memory from Haskell.

But then I used pass instead of continue in a loop… no excuse for that one. 😅

They just don’t make game music like they used to.
This arrangement of “Gweelee’s” theme is pretty darn good.

There aren’t many things better than heading to a café with a good book or a laptop to hack away on a personal project.
Well… maybe travel. Hard to beat that.

If anyone hasn’t read it yet, I recommend effective Haskell. I’ve not finished it.
But so far so good.
