Activity for killercup.de

One curious thing I noticed is that in the European morning it’s was faster and subjectively smarter/more efficient. And then after lunch time here you feel the US starting their day.

Just forked github.com/Softleif/cstr8 to add compact (≤22bytes inlined) null-terminated utf8 string that can be passed from #rust to C (and vice versa). I bet there are other libraries that do this better, right?

I'm not good with numbers, lol. *2.0* was on Feb 8, *2.1* now.

Would be cool to do more on that front, because I see a bunch of opportunities! All I need is someone to sponsor me for a couple days per month to be able to prioritize this :)

Along the way, I also forked a couple of our major #bioinformatics #rust dependencies to github.com/orgs/Softlei... with the biggest one being rust-htslib where I added a bunch of stuff and tried to make it more Rust-y

A bit more than a month after 2.1, we now released Rastair 2.1, a #rust tool that detects variants and methylated positions from TAPS and 5base sequence reads. 2.1 adds GPU support and a bunch of other performance optimizations that I'm quite proud of! www.rastair.com

I’ve reached the state where I’m just adding more and more features to all the forks I’m maintaining because it’s fun and easy. Next, talking with the maintainers how I can actually upstream all of it 😅

Oh I just saw you updated the bgzf crate and now I see you on here as well! Thanks for that :)

It’s fun! Had some good results with a skill describing how to quickly find stuff in the docs for the project (md files) but not really with having Claude update the same docs automatically

Congrats! I hope it’s gonna be a fair 50-50 split between embedded rust and podcasting!

(Also the another thing missing for me is having time and a reason to use either lol)

Saw a bunch of talk about @fasterthanli.me’s tracey.bearcove.eu and now also @dollspace.gay’s forecast.bio/crosslink/ and both look interesting and like they should be combined!

Would be neat! Or json.get(“data”, 1, “id”) with tuple magic

Either give [] indexing syntax some actually good features (like return options easily, tuple overloading, etc. to allow `json[“data”, 1, “id”]`) or get rid of it and have generics use brackets!

only using rust myself, too, but not seen any crashes

This is something I should write a blog post about as well… but for now, if you're curious check out www.rastair.com and its repo where this is happening :)

Last week, I was working on one of the fastest tools in its category. Then I got tricked into optimizing it, made Claude write some compute shaders for me, got rid of more `memmove`s, and now I think I can run on laptop in 10min what last week ran for 2.5h on a server with 16 cores! #rustlang

So many opinions on this one. Zoomable graphs with different levels of details showing summaries makes perfect sense to me cause that’s what it oooks like in my head (maybe also buy a 50” touch screen but that’s an easy fix)

Very cool! Was looking at lilaq.org recently based on Typst (makes it quite flexible for the cost of learning and bundling typst) but this looks even more feature-full :O

Fun to read in this format too! I kinda liked the big GitHub link previews as visual dividers but that’s a minor thing. Your *this* close to just making a “this week in bevy merge train” blog aren’t you?
