anyone who thinks writing rust is hard? try writing a book, thats HARD. Human language is hard, explaining is hard, selling it is hard, and then you sell two copies, and three of those were you.

Today I kept hitting the shannon barrier trying to beat entropy, zstd is unreasonably effective at laughing at my pathethic attempts to create clever optimization structures vs naive sorted data in zstd.

Doing something wrong in Bevy, trying to add FpsOverlayPlugin and at runtime I get:

DrawFunctions<bevy_ui_render::render_pass::TransparentUi> must be added to the world as a resource before adding render commands to it

Decided "Bevy" is too long to write, so now using a numeronym.

Welcome to "b2y", and lucky its very unique and does not clash with anything.. great its written in r2t.l, i use it on w1l2

Retired bevy_polyline (thank you for your work) for drawing lines with advent of retained gizmos in bevy. I also started to use colour based on feature rather than location (debug).

In Rust {:?} is the "Debug Monster" (look sideways), it eats your variable and the output is a stream of text

upgrade to 0.17.x with default-features=false, got "pink screen", probably related to the crates refactoring to enable more selective builds

Leaving this here for future adventures "Bevy Pink Screen" ™

Fun fact, when ordering a coffee if they ask for your name i always say "Sparkles", just for the little joy of having "Sparkles" shouted later. Now there is another reason.

micro-optimization: when you spend hours trying to make some code go much faster without success, when you really should just use a different algorithm.

[my day so far, also embarrassing when the replacement is 100x and replaces 100loc with 4 lines]
