  • We’ve made shitty dewars by packing vermiculite flakes scavenged from shipping containers (many retailers might have a box filled with these) between two jars and sealing the gaps with epoxy. They might degas though, but that’s manageable.

    In the end though, well designed oldschool baking oven beats this in everything except footprint.

    Also saw someone using just single overheated iron pot on gas stove as tandoor.



  • On the other hand, bevy is such a neat general manager and framework. You can run crossplatform parallel async within it, stall things with timers, set custom loop rates. I’m experimenting with using it as non-game frontend, and so far it seems much more suited for fast development than those reactive frameworks imitating js frameworks if something more complicated than simple ui is needed. The gaming community cares for each othes, so sweet. The only downside is 30mb wasm file for prototype level of complexity app, but I haven’t even started optimizing yet, and it will not grow much probably once it becomes super sophisticated.


  • Even disconnected and incredibly diverse, united only by the tool, it’s still a community. After all, we have more in common than some nations! (I still actively think there are fractions of community I hate, and more I don’t know about and don’t care to know about, but those are parts of social life too, I guess)

    And when we talk about abstract constructs like communities, there is no need for conscious will or organizing initiatives. It just happened, just remember to disregard anyone talking about actual organized Rust community as having an authority or something; rationale behind the design principle is the only organizing entity here it seems.

    That people create conspiracy theories whenever self-organization happens is natural thing apparently, you can’t do anything about it. It’s narration knowledge in a sense, and in our postmodern world, it is no more justified than solid scientific model of the world, we just have to accept and live around it, trying to avoid feeding myths is futile.
