I’d never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of “why” (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

It’s Latin for “a person not welcome”

First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

This seems like a potential infinite loop because Jason has JavaScript which has JSON which has…

I really like this one. 🤣

Haha, I always suspected!

Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*

I wanted to learn and I do that best by making games (find it holds my attention), found it a mixed bag, in that Bevy is quickly becoming the de-facto game engine in Rust (I know not strictly true but it is very popular), however that involves learning Bevy, rather than Rust.

So instead recently I’ve started making games with Yew (Web lib, using WASM) and Warp, to get to grips with those. I’ve been doing a game dev live stream too, where I work on a project (FOSS) to try and show the stuff I learned. Mostly just for the enjoyment of solving maths problems with an audience!

Sadly when I was laid off last year I couldn’t find anything in Rust but I’m hoping my next contract might involve at least some.
