The IntelliJ Platform is moving many native integrations from JNA to FFM.

Thanks to everyone who suffered with me through the FreeCAD session last night :) The parts printed fine and need only minor fixes. www.youtube.com/@halirutan27 Aug 2026 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:bms636db53ylpsifn7g3uc5c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu2zfupjik2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/halirutan.bsky.social/post/3mttalbfbv22zThat was a weird issue. From "let's quickly check what's going on here..." to "hmm, nothing's obviously wrong", to "can you try this and that?", to bringing in the Platform team for an answer and finally circling back and understanding the actual issue.

The skill now handles modern IntelliJ freezes more gracefully by adding coroutines and Dispatchers.Default starvation cases, a few new freeze patterns, and better fixes. https://gist.github.com/halirutan/3639e876b1faeba33200896b850a684217 Aug 2026 12:00 +0000at://did:plc:bms636db53ylpsifn7g3uc5c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtbnpkqkac2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/halirutan.bsky.social/post/3mq6m7zlsfs2gNew IntelliJ Platform docs page and companion video on Error Reporting!

I spent way too long getting Zig debugging to work in CLion with the ZigBrains plugin on Linux. It works now, but the path there was not exactly smooth. If you’re stuck, ping me.

I have an AmScope with a good cam wich only works with the bloated manufacurer's software. So I created a single view app using Raylib that always shows only the microscope image and nothing else.

It turns out you can use a WebSocket connection to access the RFB data directly. That means, you can implement an oscilloscope viewer natively :)15 Mar 2026 05:41 +0000at://did:plc:bms636db53ylpsifn7g3uc5c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh3aa63tr22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/halirutan.bsky.social/post/3mgt2bbsi422fDelivered in just one day by Batronix.com and I'm happy like a little kid.
