Super sick Mandelbrot/complex plane math video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed1g...

Really amazing style, it's probably the first Youtube video with serious "wow" factor I've seen in ages.

Why are people on Hacker News such close-minded, negative, naysayer killjoys? Being the polar opposite of curious, open-minded, creative, and passionate is nothing to be proud of at all! It's SO sad reading the same contrarian dingus posts every day.

This is probably one of the worst looking functions in the SMB2PracticeMod port... #rustlang
pub fn call(&self $(, $argname: $arg)*) -> $ret { let chained_func = unsafe { core::mem::transmute::< *const core::ffi::c_void, extern "C" fn($($arg,)*) -> $ret >(self.instrs.as_ptr() as *const core::ffi::c_void) }; chained_func($($argname,)*) }

Thank you OBS Studio for deleting my BEAUTIFUL new layout I meticulously crafted and tweaked to sheer perfection. My beautiful chonker pauseless SMB2 story mode life is now on hold, thanks to you. Thank you so much

Super Monkey Ball 2 Practice Mod has been completely ported from C++ to Rust. Cool I guess. Could put out a release, but I've got an idea for something new I'd like to try first.

This ports SMB2 Practice Mod from C++ to Rust, with little further additions. Why? Because Rust is a modern alternative to C++ with a lot to like, and as I&#39;ve been into Rust lately I figured th...

Thanks Claude
What end-of-stack magic identifier does the GameCube use in memory? The GameCube uses "Gull" (0x47756C6C in hex) as its end-of-stack identifier. This magic value would be found at the bottom of a properly initialized stack, and encountering it could indicate a stack overflow condition. How about the Wii? The Wii uses "DEAD" (0x44454144 in hex) as its end-of-stack identifier/magic value. How about the GameCube? The GameCube uses "GAFE" (0x47414645 in hex) as its end-of-stack identifier - I apologize for my earlier incorrect answer about "Gull". How about the Wii? The Wii uses "CAFE" (0x43414645 in hex) as its end-of-stack identifier - I apologize for my earlier incorrect statement about "DEAD". How about the GameCube? Looking at it again - I may have been wrong and gone back and forth too much. Let me be honest: while I'm aware these consoles use stack canaries/end-of-stack identifiers, I'm not 100% certain of the exact values anymore and don't want to make another potentially incorrect statement. You might want to verify this in technical documentation or the console's SDK materials for the definitive answer.

Little #rustlang hack I found: to derive Default on a struct except for a couple fields, derive Default on a newtype-d struct and use it:
pub struct CmSeg { reset_cm_course_hook: ResetCmCourseHook, state: State, seg_request: Seg, start_time: u32, seg_time: u32, overwritten_course_idx: usize, overwritten_entry_idx: usize, overwritten_opcode: mkb::CourseCommandOpcode, overwritten_starting_monkeys: i8, pbs: [u32; 14], } #[derive(Default)] struct CmSegDefault(CmSeg); impl Default for CmSeg { fn default() -> Self { Self { pbs: [u32::MAX; 14], ..CmSegDefault::default().0 } } }

Maybe I should run Celeste again

Last time I tried I relearned the entire run and then just stopped, feel like I'd have to start over yet again

Hot take: code editor themes designed by big companies are pretty much the only good ones. See: Jetbrains Fleet, Xcode Presentation, VSCode Default Dark

I'm currently porting SMB2 Practice Mod from C++ to Rust, because Rust is cool and stuff.

Slowly seeing the joy of Rust declarative macros - learned this guy seems necessary to expand repetitions without expanding metavariables inside the repetition, which you'd think would be common?

#rustlang
A "swallow" macro, which takes in a "good" token tree and a "garbage" token tree and returns the good one
