Reading files the hard way
One funny way to bundle assets
There’s one thing that bothers me. In part 1, why are we using
hyper-staticfile? Couldn’t we just use file:/// URLs?
Well, first off: showing off how easy it is to serve some static files, even in a “scary” language like Rust, is just not something I could pass up.
But also: think about distributing salvage as a tool. Will we want to
distribute all those HTML/CSS/JS/font files alongside it?
Consuming Ethernet frames with the nom crate
Now that we’ve found the best way to find the “default network interface”… what can we do with that interface?
Well, listen for network traffic of course!
use rawsock:: open_best_library;
use std:: time:: Instant ;
fn main () -> Result <(), Error > {
let lib = open_best_library () ?;
let iface_name = format! ( r#"\Device\NPF_{}"# netinfo?
iface = libiface_name?
start =
iface |packet|
start
packet
?
oocdoc, Part 3 — parsing
In the previous article, I gave brummi a go. However, we’ve seen that it still doesn’t fit our requirements: we need a tool that’s fast, easy to install and configure, produces beautiful and usable docs.
Yesterday I started building my own documentation generator, and in this series I’ll present the challenges I face and how I solved them. This might show a few ooc tricks, perhaps some software design, some good, some bad, but overall I hope it’ll be a good read!
A terminal case of Linux
Has this ever happened to you?
You want to look at a JSON file in your terminal, so you pipe it into jq so you can look at it with colors and stuff.
That’s a useless use of cat.
…oh hey cool bear. No warm-up today huh.
Sure, fine, okay, I’ll read the darn man page for jq… okay it takes
a “filter” and then some files. And the filter we want is.. . which, just
like files, means “the current thing”:
I won free load testing
Long story short: a couple of my articles got really popular on a bunch of sites, and someone, somewhere, went “well, let’s see how much traffic that smart-ass can handle”, and suddenly I was on the receiving end of a couple DDoS attacks.
It really doesn’t matter what the articles were about — the attack is certainly not representative of how folks on either side of any number of debates generally behave.
2018 Retrospective
The year is drawing to a close, and I’m going off on a much-needed holiday next week. This seems like a good time to look back at the past twelve months!
I can’t believe that shipped
2018 was the year of foundational work. As far as “work work” is concerned, I spent the first 9 months finishing up my largest project ever, the itch v25 rewrite.
ooc generics and flawed designs
ooc is perhaps one of my proudest achievements, but at the same time it’s one of the most annoying thorns in my side.
The main reason is that its design is flawed, and some things can’t be easily fixed at this point. Now don’t get me wrong: every design is flawed to some extent. Design, either when done by a lone coder, or by a committee, never comes out “perfect” — ignoring the fact there is no universal/objective measure of “perfectness”.
Day 12 (Advent of Code 2022)
Alright! The day 12 puzzle involves path finding, and it seems like a good time to lean more heavily on the WASM embeds I’ve set up for the previous parts.
Let’s start by setting up the types we’ll want!
Types and parsing
Our input is a heightmap, like so:
Sabqponm
abcryxxl
accszExk
acctuvwj
abdefghi
Where 'a'..='z' is a square with a given elevation (from lowest to highest),
S is the start, and E is the end.
Isaac rubs his back on non-existent doors
Haven’t blogged in a while. Life’s fine, project are a-plenty, but I just wanted to make a more lasting post about one particular issue that struck me as funny when programming Paper Isaac.
Bugs, bugs, bugs
What’s infuriating when letting others play an early prototype is that you hear constantly the same things. Some bugs are non-trivial to fix, some you’re just not motivated to fix now… sometimes you just have your head elsewhere, gotta focus, or are elbow-deep in some other piece of code and the damn walls can wait.
