Working on a new feature and 90% of it is addressing unhandled cases that the compiler finds for me. I can't imagine doing this kind of thing in a language without pattern checking.

Yesterday there was a Xerox 6085 Daybreak on eBay for $500 and someone else bought it before I could make up my mind (I would have had to drive to Tulsa to get it). It's an office computer, which isn't super interesting to me, but with some reconfiguration it becomes an 1186 Lisp machine, which is *very* interesting to me. Oh well.

I started working through Shawn Hymel’s YouTube tutorial on Embedded Rust last night and I continue to be amazed at how dialed-in the tooling is. Also the doc. And the language itself. And the libraries. Of course I’m just getting started, but so far this seems to be the best modern language I have used.

It’s kind of alarming to me that they’re using Windows and Bluetooth on a spacecraft. There are not a whole lot of rage outlets up there and I’m pretty sure they don’t have a margarita machine.

Trying to help my 12yo redeem a Fortnite gift card and it’s like that Onion video of the Franz Kafka International Airport. I want to become CEO of Epic Games so I can fire everyone involved.
