Hi fellaz, I’ll be less productive in shitposting for a while as I’m chilling and taking a break from the web <3

while I'm resting, a new tragedy happened in the Rust family lol.

The serde_derive macro now comes as a precompiled binary, which literally means you’ll need to run a 3rd party program with full access to your machine environment (see supply chain attack).

btw I make money and pretend to be a dev thanks to this library 🌝

ok serde removed precompiled binaries, evil is defeated (this time)

so Zoom CEO literally says that the main idea behind their own product is
to make people less innovative 😏

ratatui new version is released. amazing crate for building TUIs.

do not rush to upgrade to 1.72 fellaz

“the project is a web server using actix_web. Both local and CI builds appear to be taking all available memory and never finishing.”

and even more

make php great again!

now you can use async rust libraries from PHP asynchronously

love these poop reactions, appeared a second after posting above ❤️

I spent an hour solving this challenge, trying to find the best algorithm, and then it turned out that the authors' solution is just hard-coded values lol

const PIXELS: [(usize, usize); 16] = [
    (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (0,3), (0,4), (1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (4,4),
    (4,3), (4,2), (4,1), (4,0), (3,0), (2,0), (1,0)
];

yes, I know, my approach (see pic above) doesn’t look perfect, but in defense I’d say that I wrote it at midnight (after 12h coding session) and it at least supports a matrix of any size (which gives you zero advantages in the context of programming for a specific microcontroller 🌝)

also his binary is 46kb smaller

also you can see the amazing result, I know it is quite impressive
