Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?
I’m working on a presentation software that uses plain text to make neat looking presentations with relatively little effort. I’m in a Post-AP Computer Science class, and I just finished an assignment using it https://git.nations.lol/grezi/#Hashing Sets Maps.slideshow
Here is where the source code is: https://github.com/StratusFearMe21/grezi-next
(Documentation for how to actually use it is in the GitHub wiki page)
I’ve been working on a scraper to get congress stock trades. I’m thinking of potentially just serving it as an API. If theres an API that someone else knows about I’m all ears.
I am learning more about observability with OpenTelemetry and in Kubernetes clusters in particular. Distributing tracing with connected traces between multiple applications seems like a useful concept for applications made from several services. Apparently there are even some technologies allowing traceparent/tracestate propagation via sqlcommenter to the database server though it seems those do not really have a lot of things that do anything with it yet.
Since I posted that I learned that https://github.com/DataDog/pg_tracing uses those but is in an alpha state and the commercial https://pganalyze.com/docs/opentelemetry extension seems to do so as well.
I played around with petgraph this weekend for a personal project I’m working on (p2p Reddit), and it was quite nice to use! I did a naive reimplementation of a trust algorithm I found written in JS (literally copy/pasted and fixed syntax), and it’s >10x faster.
I’ll probably be stuck in JS land for most of the next week or two, but I hope to add this graph component in soon.
shimky a vim clone weird thing in pnk.lang
What is pnk.lang? shimky is literally the first search result for that term.
pnk.lang is a DSL made in Shell. It is used to build Tkinter GUI Python Applications a nicer ordeal. I built an IDE on top of pnk.lang. Shimky is that IDE.
