    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

    today on &amp;quot;esther&amp;#39;s entire writing process runs on a pile of shellscripts&amp;quot; - I&amp;#39;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

    Implicit in the comments is that a Vec4 is a glam struct backed by an __m128 SIMD value. The point of all of this is to do SIMD-optimized math while still having access to Vec4::w without paying the deref cost

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@esther_alter/116212004235985029 Pincushion is now on crates.io! It&amp;#39;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&amp;#39;t resize partitions leftward. I freed up space: windows free linux(/) linux(/home) then dd&amp;#39;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&#39;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
