Better time at Phoenix #iracing

-
My second time out in the Star Mazda at Phoenix has been a stark contrast to the first catastrophe. Not qualifying I started 12/18 and planned on just finishing this time. 70 laps and 4 cautions later I came in 4th, less that 6 seconds behind the winner. It was a bit of a war of attrition since only 5 cars actually finished, but I was very pleased with the result. Didn't pit or pick up an incident point either. With a bit less wing and some spring tweaks I reckon I could have won. Maybe next time eh... 8)

A few years ago I inherited a couple of binders full of old computer magazines from my father-in-law. He was a radio HAM and was a keen computer enthusiast back in his day. What I found inside the binders were the first 20 issues of the UK computing magazine Personal Computer World... in mint condition. In an effort to save these magazines from the ravages of time I'm going to scan them in and put them on here. This first post contains issue 1 from February 1978. If anyone finds this useful and would like me to scan the rest of them in please get in touch... from what I can tell this stuff isn't available anywhere else on the internet. My aim here isn't to abuse copyright or annoy anyone who was involved in the magazine... I'm putting this stuff here because it is important historical documentation about the birth of home computing. If anyone has any copyright issues please get in touch. Enjoy...

Rust, week 1.

I've started looking at Rust again. I had a quick try of rust about 18 months ago when I was looking at modern alternatives to C++. At that time I learned a bit of Rust and also some Go. Both languages impressed me but to be honest I liked the feel of Go more... mainly because it was simpler to learn. Time has passed and my mind has wondered back to Rust. This page is a scrap book of thoughts about Rust during my first week back. Things I like about Rust... Built-in a build system (cargo) Immutable by default Explicit data ownership semantics Built-in documentation about the language and compiler errors Sensible type inference External module dependency versioning makes sense No implicit bool conversion Descriptive error reporting Tuples ! Things I'm not sure about... note I'm not saying these things are bad... just that I'm unconvinced at this point Allowing variable type changes via shadowing Progress reading 'The Rust Book' - 6.1 Definin
