I’ve started building a lightweight daw mostly for mixing songs together rather than any actual serious music production. Currently only supports volume and bass envelopes, and dragging tracks around. I’m planning to open source it when it’s a bit more polished. It’s written in rust and I’m using egui for the frontend.

Any books you’d recommend besides cradle? I just finished the mistborn trilogy, and while it’s not strictly progressive fantasy, I need another thing to scratch that itch

The Kingdom manga is chef’s kiss but it’s up to like 790 chapters. I absolutely love it and wish it got more acclaim. Like how can people be so focused on one piece (which I also read and love) but not Kingdom

Whyalla is home to the famous cuttlefish migration that takes place every winter: https://divedb.net/sites/whyalla-cuttlefish. Thousands of these cepholapods congregate on the shores to mate and lay eggs, with some crazy mating rituals. A lot of the males like to show off their camouflage by displaying a wave pattern through their camouflage. Mostly it’s bigger males that get mates. However: there are little twink cuttlefish that pretend to be female to get close to a mating pair and sneak in!

For that reason I personally wouldn’t consider it a “shitty little place”, but haven’t been there in a work capacity.

I think this the the best one yet

I was scuba diving once under a jetty and saw a shiny metal object. I wasn’t too sure what it was so I got closer and it looked like a trophy or something. Then I read the front of it, it was an urn! My thoughts were that it was someone’s dying wish to be in the “deep blue” not realising that it’s actually quite populated with life.

Most people I’ve met have the same sentiment, they just think of it as some ethereal thing, rather than a thriving and crazy ecosystem.

Never found out what the deal was about the urn but the local news ran an article on it a couple of weeks later and I got a chuckle

Excellent work! Keep it up!

Oh wow I’m getting flashbacks to IIFE in js! Makes sense

Oh nooooo I’ve been discovered posting to reddit! 😯 We need to really post more rust content here, there’s barely anything.

Yeah I just used anyhow instead of thiserror as that’s what I’m using on divedb.

I’m not sure about the impl thing, care to elaborate?

On Linux, middle clicks on the new tab button will now open the xclipboard contents in the new tab. If the xclipboard content is a URL then that URL is opened, any other text is opened with your default search provider.

Mega useful!

Just finished “smoking causes coughing” which is a weird french movie that goes in weird directions. I don’t know whether there’s a term for gore comedy? This is that in places

I think you need to add derive as a feature. It’s not on by default

Happy to be a mod here as well

There’s a technology in browsers called WebSockets. It’s good for live updates etc… new posts etc… But has been removed in the latest version. I’m assuming it’s because it’s hard to scale

It’s hard to say but I think Kingdom is probably one that I look forward to the most. It’s just so epic, so many crazy battles and lots of misdirection. They’re not afraid to kill off a well liked character: starting early on people you expect to stick around don’t.

Close tie for second is chainsaw man and one punch man

Would this be good as a PR?

I’d like to help with performance, is there any benchmarking infra at the moment to help with the low hanging fruit?
