That advice about only refactoring the code that you need to touch to implement a feature...
I'm continuing with the restructuring of librsvg to produce a render tree, and it's making me fix all the initial design mistakes I made when doing the first pass at porting to Rust. It's hard work but I'm hoping the code will end up much simpler.
Does anyone have some good learning materials for someone who is very new to graphics programming, but needs to interact with OpenGL-Esque primitives (without anything like Glad/etc. in the mix)?
I dunno I feel like everytime I open up an example i get one of two things:
Is there a: "I want to learn to draw basic shapes without the libraries, and without immediately jumping into here's shaders and vertex buffers and good fucking luck"?

Humanity:
#AI sounds amazing and yes there are downsides (lost jobs, energy use, etc), but who cares, onwards!!
A clean healthy planet sounds amazing but woah woah there are downsides (some economic sacrifices & some mega oil corps need to pivot) we obviously can't do it!!
What humanity chooses to be unstoppable about is utterly tragic.

Out of curiosity I decided to try and run the numbers on how much Netflix you can watch for the energy cost of a ChatGPT prompt
As far as I can tell it's between 5.1 and 10.2 seconds, depending on which end of the 2019 IEA Netflix energy usage estimate you use

In June 2025 Sam Altman claimed about ChatGPT that "the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours". In March 2020 George Kamiya of the International Energy Agency estimated that "streaming a …Simon Willison’s Weblog
I've noticed a few recurring themes in life, at least for me:
Events and situations are usually products of multiple factors. If we assume a singular cause for a given situation, then there is a good chance that we are not seeing the whole picture.
There are usually multiple ways of looking at things
It is important to balance the various aspects of our lives. This applies to the people in our lives, our goals, and so on. If we are laser focused on one thing, then we might neglect other things that are also important to us. For instance, we don't want to think of our own needs, without regard to the needs of the people we care about, and, at the same time, we don't want to act on the needs and wants of those around us while neglecting our own.
Our perception of a given situation is just that. It is not a reflection of objective reality.
A lot of things are paradoxically random and not random at the same time. We might find a job or learn of an organization through a connection with a person who we would have not met if things had gone a bit differently. At the same time, our actions and the communities that we are part of will influence the people we end up meeting and the kinds of connections we are likely to make.
So those are mine, or at least the ones that I have in mind at this moment. What are yours?

I'm looking for a remote Rust/Elixir role (EU-friendly timezones, US East is ok).
I have 7 years of #rustlang, 9 years of #elixirlang, 20+ years of #linux.
I have over 20 years of experience as a professional developer, and I've been working remotely for 12 years, during which I helped US and EU companies build reliable software.
On the side, I've been developing #asciinema, the best tool to record and stream your terminal sessions. I talk about it in the context of Rust in this #RustaceanStation interview: rustacean-station.org/episode/…
My current contract ends soon, so this is a great time to talk! I'm open to both full-time roles and short term contracts.

Boost please!

Hey, #Lazydon, I have a contact working in government who has a need for a temporary (6ish months?) person with deep experience in Excel, macro programming, and finance. Ideally this would be Melbourne or Canberra, but not a blocker if not.
Does this sound like somebody that you know? DM me and I will put you in touch.
@eliocamp Oh, that is acceptable.

It really does say something about the civil areospace industry that it will happily slime millions of people over a ultra rare software bug that is triggered by a celestial event.
Meanwhile, occasionally cars just have a woopsie in their ECU and people end up accelerating straight into a concrete wall and this is seemingly just accepted (by the manufacturers of course) as a okay-ish thing to do as long as it doesn't happen too much
“A young woman…was up early one morning to sell tamales outside a local school. ICE agents tossed her to the ground, injuring her so seriously she had to be hospitalized. She’s an American citizen and was released but now is so scared of ICE, she refuses to leave her house. She has been inside for 158 days.”

in reply to Federico Mena Quintero • • •Um. I don't hesitate to refactor after I fix a bug, if I think it'll help future readers of the code to comprehend it better. I'll also happily refactor code to even without fixing a bug, if don't understand it when I'm tired. (Although I'll try to wait until I've rested before I make changes.)
Dogmatic advice usually needs to be considered carefully in case it comes from a simplistic world view.

in reply to Lars Wirzenius • • •@liw oh, yeah, I refactor around freely, too. I meant what I wrote more in the sense of, I'm needing? wanting? finding I have to? refactor more than strictly what I need for this feature, just for sanity's sake.
A lot of what makes me stuck during this process is thinking whether to resolve some data as soon as possible in the code flow, or lazily until it is needed. Experience in librsvg has shown that the former is better, but takes more upfront refactoring, but the code ends up nicer.
