  Released: nine-slices, a rust crate for 9-slicing sprites, a common technique for resizing images without distorting borders. AFAIK it’s the only rust crate that does this on the cpu! https://crates.io/crates/nine-slices #rust #programming #gamedev #imageprocessing #rustlang

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@esther_alter/116093314164897678 still looking! anything related to simulators and robotics that ISN'T a defense contractor nightmare would be great. Anything Rust-y or no-AI-y would be great too. #FediHire #getfedihired

  today on "esther's entire writing process runs on a pile of shellscripts" - I've already got a script that writes backups to a drafts/ directory - I now have a script that can diff the current version of a manuscript against the most text Linux is so good #amwriting #linux

  Rewrote most of blittle, my fast little blitter. I’ve grouped pixel buffers, positions, clipping areas, etc into Surface structs. I added an optional mask color and comprehensive pixel type conversions. Also added softbuffer compatibility. Per-surface pixel conversions e.g RBG to RGBA are implausibly fast, as in, there might be a mistake in the benchmark? Or maybe I stumbled into a compiler optimization? #rust #gamedev #rustlang #render https://crates.io/crates/blittle

  We're at the "it's probably ok to lie to the borrow checker" level of optimization #rust #rustlang #programming

  RELEASED: Pincushion, a Unity3D uniform mesh sampler accelerated by a native Rust plugin. Features: - Render cool dots spaced evenly (sorta) around the surface of a mesh - Unique rendering masking/occlusion options - It's very fast - Works with Unity 2020 and newer - Legacy render pipeline (good for older projects!) - Supports static meshes (MeshRenderer) and dynamic meshes (SkinnedMeshRenderer) https://github.com/alters-mit/pincushion #unity3d #shader #rust #gamedev #csharp #render...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@esther_alter/116212004235985029 Pincushion is now on crates.io! It's intended to be used in a Unity3D context but it can absolutely work in a pure-Rust setup. https://crates.io/crates/pincushion #rust #3d #render #rustlang #programming #opensource

  *nothing* makes me feel more like a hot cyberpunk hacker than using dd My partition table was: windows linux(/) linux(/home) The / partition was way too small. You can't resize partitions leftward. I freed up space: windows free linux(/) linux(/home) then dd'd /: windows linux(/)(copy) linux(/) linux(/home) then wiped /: windows linux(/)(copy) free linux(/home) then resized /(copy): windows linux(/)(copy) linux(/home) and everything works! Linux is so cool! #linux

  Laid off :/ I know: - Unity C# - Rust - Python I can learn: - Anything I am in Massachusetts. Remote work would be great too I've 8 years of experience as an MIT software engineer specializing in research simulation platform projects. I would prefer: not creating the next big AI thing, not making weapons, never having to think about blockchain anything. Anyone got anything? #rust #softwaredevelopment #unity3d #python #FediHire #getfedihired
