My graduation cap runs Rust(ericswpark.com)

> I thought about it but decided it looks pretty tacky. It looks like what kids would think of as a gaming PC and what boomers would think of as a seizure.

Missed chance to be a school legend and initiation of a career launching arc.

I think if designed in a way where it’s subtle when off/low and at appropriate times can be activated on-demand, that would be great.

But to be in a crowd of people all dressed the same, all graduating as well, having a gaming PC on your head might be too much main character energy.

I don't recall that there is a situation that you can turn on gaming RGB on your head. Someone suddenly starting to shine is as bad as keep shining. It's just either stealing everyone's concentration near you or give a jump scare to how ever was unlucky to look at your direction when you turned it on.

Say you’re at the reception after and you want to take a few photos with friends and family.

Or the traditional post-commencement board mortaring where you light up and throw it into the air.

Actually that gives me an idea: a grad cap that is also a drone. So when you throw it up with everyone in celebration yours just keeps going.

Goodbye hat. I uploaded my student debt into you. Don’t come back.

Cool project. And it goes to show how this education system is scammed out to the max, even cap and gown.

If there’s anything I really want written in Rust, it’s a Chrome extension to filter out all the HN posts about Rust.

Or to automatically write command bitching about it.

That would likely entail an LLM today. Which is the single topic that is more highly represented on the HN homepage than Rust.

You forgot the lowkey accusation that a comment is llm-generated. With that we have the trifecta.

That seems unnecessary. JavaScript is memory safe.

1. No it doesn't, it runs machine code.

2. Yet again we have the need to announce Rust to the world, when the usage of it is inconsequential in this context

Do you go on every project that announces itself to be written in C/C++/Zig/Fil-C/Java/etc. and make those same complaints? That must be tiring.

If Rust could create the girlfriend I still do not have, I think I would have learned Rust by now.

There is a joke around ownership or borrowing that I'm going to take the high road and not make.
