What programming/technical projects have you been working on?
This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
I’m working through The Rust Programming Language while storing the exercise code/figures as I go through them in a Git repo pushed to Sourcehut. Brushing up on Rust syntax and best-practices while learning Git. Already feel like I got a better understanding of Git after working with it these past couple of days.
After finishing the Rust book, I’d like to go through some data structures/algorithms and implement them in Rust. Any suggestions for learning material on that front would be welcome.
The 3D printer kit I ordered from Prusa finally arrived last week. It took my wife and me 2 1/2 days to put together and we got a few test prints out of it. The instructions are quite good but it was still pretty involved. I had to debug a couple mistakes where we didn't follow the directions closely enough, fortunately early enough that it was easy to fix. The first print failed because we didn't calibrate the first layer properly and it came unstuck from the bed while printing, but after fixing that, the next two prints came out well.
Next up, it's time to try designing something myself. I'm going to try copying the plastic mouthpiece from a melodica as an exercise.
I finally released my static site generator: https://github.com/Apostolique/AposDocs.
I started using it on this project: https://apostolique.github.io/Apos.Input/.
The goal was to make a static site generator that requires minimal configuration. Feed it markdown files and you get a site with a navigation. Now to write some documentation for it. :D
