kartoffels is a game where you're given a potato and your job is to implement a firmware for it - it's a side project I've been developing for a couple of months now and in this talk I'll show you how it works, what troubles I've stumbled upon (lots!), what I think went great and why I ditched WebAssembly and went for RISC-V instead.

Since a Nix derivation can be anything, from a text file up to a directory tree, then what's stopping us from implementing a static site generator using Nix? Certainly not the police!

GPUs are known for their abilities of generating pretty images pretty fast - in this talk we'll see what makes GPUs different from CPUs and we'll see how you can code them in Rust.

Older version of my Trace Me a River talk.

Even though Rust strives for simplicity, it's got a couple of surprising corners and edge cases.

In this talk I'm going to show you what makes impl Drop super-special, what's the difference between using Self and the type's name, what's the deal with #[derive] and trait bounds, and many others things that I've stumbled upon.

Since I spent most of my days looking at a text editor, I've had the chance of going through lots of programs, plugins, IDEs and ideas - some better, some worse.

In this talk I'm going to show you what I've learned and how a typical day in my editor looks like. I'll also show you lots of tricks that make working with code, Git and filesystem easier, less error-prone and more comfortable.

Even though Rust strives for simplicity, it's got a couple of surprising corners and edge cases.

In this talk I'm going to show you the difference between .filter_map() and .flat_map(), what's the deal with const FOO: AtomicUsize and many others things that I've stumbled upon.

Together with a friend we've created a game for GitHub's Game Off 2022 which utilizes software ray-tracing - in this talk we're going through our game's internals, describing its most curious & cursed internals.

Have you ever wanted to create your own programming language?

In this live-coding session I'll show you what is an abstract syntax tree and how, based on it, you can create a relatively fast, unsafe-free virtual machine that executes your own code.

AVRs are charming microcontrollers which can survive more than 300 days on a single AA battery, lying on anything - from cold ice to sizzling stones.

They can communicate with both high-level machines such as computers and low-level peripherals like humidity meters, which makes them neat, satisfying MCUs to play with -- and they can be programmed in Rust!
