My daughter suggested she help by creating some 3D models for my city building prototype.
Below screenshot shows off the house model she made in just a few hours. I'm baffled and amazed.
I don't know if it's possible to be more proud as a dad.

I have never done anything with WASM, so I tried creating a DJ Controller. Drag your own MP3s to either one of the two decks to analyse the tracks BPM and key, and make professional transfers (sort off), everything client side. All analysis are Rust, frontend Angular

This new version notification does NOT do this change justice, AT ALL.
There's so much redesigning, refactoring and re-balancing in this change, but I clicked through the PR too quickly and only the initial reason for starting that branch remained. 😅

Found Sokol.NET - C# bindings for the Sokol crossplat gfx framework. If you haven't heard about Sokol, it's a C header-only library to build crossplat gfx/audio apps (games). Sokol.NET wraps it for C# (Win/Linux/Mac/Android/iOS/WASM). Tons of samples. Also native AOT: github.com/elix22/Sokol...

It's been a few weeks since I "finished" my short story. Since then I've been rereading it and making small adjustments to the text.
Clarifying things, removing redundancies, rewriting short pieces to make it flow better.
I'll have to learn when that's enough, but it's improving a lot.

When I run Tar locally with the -acvf flags, I get a zip archive that the Windows shell can open. When ran from a Github worker, windows can't open it.
7Zip still opens it fine, so it's not broken, the archive explorer in Windows shell just doesn't like it.

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏

I honestly thought a rendering issue I had with my terminal based game was due to something in Windows Terminal, as other shells didn't have it.
Turns out, it was an encoding issue! I never specified one, and most shells guessed correctly. Thankfully my colleagues at #4dotnet helped me out there.

Just finished rewatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy with the family.
It's amazing to me that these even got made in the first place. They have no business being this good.
They're so dense with story, of the characters, the world, of meaning and intent. It's pure poetry, the whole of it.

It's funny how, in older sci-fi, it's the little incongruities that betray its age.
It's not infeasible that we'll travel faster than light through some method, or that we'll go into hypersleep in the future.
But smoking being socially acceptable again? Yeah, this is definitely old-hat.

My wonderful wife and daughter have gifted me Asimov's Foundation, which I hadn't read yet.
I'm enjoying it immensely!
It's also funny to see the seeds of so much of today's science-fiction, in particular the Warhammer 40k universe.

Though I know that many Redditors lean left, politically. I am taken aback at how many high-ranking posts make fun of, or revel in the specifics of the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
