I don’t care about rust and it’s artistic fanatics doing artistic screeching every time some C programmer uses a pointer."

Started the Go rewrite/translation for the `sisyphus-ffmpeg` module. I'd forgotten the joy of unmarshalling JSON in Go, but after going with structs full of pointers everything worked out pretty well. Still need to add a few more features like grabbing the number of frames for a video source, but it's working great at this point.

Dies ist ein wirklich nette und leider furchterregende Kolumne.

Ich finde, sie ist wirklich pointiert und, wieder leider, enthält viele Warheiten.

I just finished "An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir. I picked it up because I found her non-fantasy novel "All My Rage" extremely compelling, and I enjoyed fantasy a lot as a genre in my youth but as my politics have changed I'm too disappointed to enjoy a lot of fantasy any more but I thought Tahir might not fall into that.
Although I don't think Ember in the Ashes is bad, it's definitely not what I was looking for, and I don't think I'll pursue the sequels, at least not right now.
Overall the writing was weaker in a lot of ways than All My Rage, and in terms of basic fantasy quality, the worldbuilding was noticeably lacking, the romantic subplot felt stilted, and the politics were a bit murky. Compared to what I felt was Tahir's deft, delicate, and very meaningful handling of trauma in All My Rage, trauma in Ember felt overused and thin.
I also recently finished "Black Panther Red Wolf" by Marlon James, which had excellent world building and (to me) a much more nuance in both romance and in handling trauma. The politics felt a bit off for this one too I guess, but for me it was an overall more enjoyable (if much more difficult) read.
