Idly working on my Quamina state-machine-based pattern matcher. (https://github.com/timbray/quamina)
Hit a bug that smells like an infinite loop. Looked closer. Hmm, seems like my code traversing a dinky little 4-state automaton thinks it needs to consider 25,165,824 possible state transitions. Need …

A set of loft finds; 'Wagon trail' pattern tea set from 'Washington pottery'; looks like it was a pretty common 60s pattern.

Rust's Block Pattern
Here’s a little idiom that I haven’t really seen discussed anywhere, that I think makes Rust code much cleaner and more robust.

The handweaving.net archive seems great and a huge effort, but getting together out of copyright patterns, digitising them and then charging people $6.50 a month to access them under a restrictive license seems a bit wrong?
Surely if you digitise out of copyright patterns you don't have copyright over your derivative work?

My brother has a bunch of old family photos. He’s taken pics of some of them and used photoshop’s AI nano banana pro on them.
This is my paternal great-grandfather. Name and dates unknown, but definitely sometime in the 18th century. I’ll add a name and dates if/when my brother sends them.

Starting to look at some performance improvements for various scopehal filters as I begin the push for v0.2.
The benchmark dataset is P/N legs of 100baseTX Ethernet sampled at 500 Msps with a ThunderScope.
At 50M point memory depth, each waveform is 100 MB in size (2 channels * 8 bits * 500 Msps) and covers 100ms of real time.
The filter graph currently takes just shy of a second to run, meaning we're at 10% of real time. I want to improve on this.
