Fakebit is chiptune, period.
I keep getting recommended this video on chiptune, both by algorithms and by friends. I’ve not watched it yet the way it’s framed honestly squicks me a little. Recently a friend asked if “fakebit vs realbit1” is just elitism and gatekeeping, or if there is something to it. Thinking about how to answer them has made me have to dig these feelings out from deep in me. Things I’ve not thought about since I was still making SID and Adlib tunes. What follows is completely subjective thought.

I’ve never heard anyone within the community actually use the term realbit. ↩
Learning Rust, Part 2: Personal Projects
After gaining a fairly reasonable comfort level with the syntax of rust, I decided to embark on my preferred way of learning. Doing. I think I learned a lot more about the pitfalls of rust with the training wheels off. A seasoned rust programmer or a well educated newbie may not have made the same falls I did. A reminder that this post is going to be Opinion, do not take my opinion as a representation of fact.
Learning Rust, Part 1: New Impressions via Rust in Action
About a year ago I bought some programming books and one of the books I bought was Rust in Action, by Tim McNamara. I chose this one because at the time I was considering doing what I’m doing now and I didn’t want to go in on my own with just free resources. Free resources while they often can be good on a technical level are generally full of proselytizing. They often do not want to call out the cons of the language or anything that may turn off a possible future user, and leave the user to find the foot guns, most books tend to be better about this.
Learning Rust, Part 0: I don't like rust
This is the beginning of a new set of things. Inspired by my post on “certain kinds of guys” in hacker culture. In this post I’m going to lay out the reasons I have in the past not liked rust, why I became immensely hostile to it, and what spaces I operate in that made rust so inaccessible to me.
