I decided to learn FFI (calling C/C++ funcs from Rust) with bindgen.

Found this C lib called chafa that does rendering pictures in the terminal. The chafa lib has this usage example on their reference manual.

The pic shows that usage example ported to rust and running.

First time doing FFI with rust and writing unsafe rust 🎉 and it's pretty exciting stuff thinking about all the libraries i could use from the C world.

another test with this channel's logo

Deployed my chafa bindings to crates.io 🎉 but the build.rs is failing but i have got a fix for it.

Starship launch could happen this Friday. 🚀

btw folks don't forget this

nix has both the largest number packages and the most fresh ones (i.e the latest releases with the newest features)

that's enough preaching for one day 😁

this is me but the nickel is a link

Like all good things nix was a research project at first.

Was watching a video of Sam Altman & OpenAI receiving the 2023 Hawking Fellowship Award and in while the guy was talking some people came into the auditorium and started throwing paper at him.

I thought they were going to ignore it and move on but sam mentioned it

Python stole lisp's birth right of becoming the language for AI.

and that makes me sad 😔

I wonder what John McCarthy thought about Python and it's domination of the AI space.

I am totally not projecting 😁 but i suspect he wouldn't be happy with it.

peeps if you have time watch this, the audience was good, they asked good questions
