@samhenrigold interestingly, I like the thinner one on a non-high-res image like this where I can see the pixels. But on a high-dpi display (which I'm almost always using) the macOS rendering wins every time.

Would be curious to see a rendering method that uses both subpixel-rendering (the blues and the reds) -and- gray anti-aliasing.

Started learning Rust again yesterday (I mostly have cobbled-together knowledge from forking other people’s code and have never built my own project). Really cool language but after using zig so much, having allocations be invisible makes reasoning about ownership so much harder despite there being a whole static ownership checker.

@matthewbischoff imo, a herbo is real and distinct from a bimbo. golden retriever girlfriend.

an important thing to understand about the fediverse's reply guys is that unlike the reply guys of old, they're largely a spineless and weak-willed lot and fold very rapidly under the slightest bit of pushback. like half of them are like "oh no!! I didn't mean to! I'm sorry!" and many others will just stop replying or block you

just figure it would save some effort on everyone’s part.

Gotta start self-identifying as an elitist more often since people seem perfectly happy to apply the label to me and my communities regardless of anyone says or does anyway

@jovialthunder ooooh yum

@oprimo hmm I think 3blue1brown is more the tone I'm interested in than numberphile. Probably I should just sit down with more of those series.

@blinks how do you like Arcs?

@ionizedgirl ahhh I see

@ionizedgirl I don't know how memory works in WASM. is that effectively usually stack allocation for everything or am I missing something

@ionizedgirl does this work with dynamic arrays?

@alberto ooh I actually have very little stats (I focused hard on discrete math in school) so that might be interesting!

I miss math. anybody read a good textbook recently. or watched a textbook-equivalent youtube series or whatever.

@ionizedgirl this is a beautiful sentence to my eyes. I have not spent any time working with fortran but now I want to Understand

or maybe this language is dynamic enough it’d be better served with a JIT. tho that still leaves me asking what I’m jitting to

@ionizedgirl f77?

@ionizedgirl any reason why?

or maybe wasm is a nice simple portable target…

there’s a really weird programming language I want to make but idk what backend to start with first. I feel like the choice will have unexpected consequences down the road. debating between arm64 and beam. and llvm I guess.
