What are you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Hey hey hey!

Hope you're having a nice relaxing weekend. If you're spending some of that time learning something new, tell us about it!

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice πŸ˜‰, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Learn some, chill some, eat some, sleep some, repeat. πŸ˜€

I just started my new job at @crabnebuladev this week (super happy about it) and I am going to learn some things about tauri-2.0 and cargo-packager. Maybe I'll start to extend the latter with additional linux package formats for a bit of a warm-up.

Simulating hair physics in pixel art games.

This is the original sprite:

This abomination is the first attempt at simulating hair (the red outline defines the characters head):

This was a great idea, definitely not overengineered at all.

(Thinks) But what if we used a quadtree to find the right hair strand?

We will see what pops up over the weekend. The main goal is to visit water holes and rate their Long Island Iced Teas. If that doesn't work out, learn about Terraform or Docker.

@michaeltharrington so what are you learning about this weekend?

I believe it is as well. Plans like that require a study group.

GH Actions are great and relatively straight-forward from my experience (compared to other solutions). Good luck!

I'm thrilled for the weekend ahead as I'm diving into a data science course in Noida! It's an incredible opportunity to elevate my skills and explore fascinating topics in the field. I can't wait to immerse myself in the world of data science and unlock new insights that will propel my career forward.

How to compile C programs to run on a very specific and niche SDR, to try and detect drones and their host’s location in real-time.

Wish me luck because I will most definitely need it πŸ₯²

Learning a few Load Balancing techniques in OCPP RPC for EV chargers.

Implemented Load Balancing for a particular place so that the owner of the place will not be billed for higher prices.

Pretty good problems, and fun to solve.
