Model each component\, read game data from a ROM\, start an update loop\, and execute instructions. Go od to go - except... hardware runs in parallel and has shared state everyw here. Rust has strict ownership rules and a borrow checker. What are we to do?\n\nhttps://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-04-10-tetanes/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Fourth Avenue Building\, 1900 SW 4th A ve\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-04-10-tetanes/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2025-05-08-apache-datafusion@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20250509T020000Z DTEND:20250509T040000Z SUMMARY:Apache DataFusion: A Fast\, Extensible\, Modular Analytic Query Eng ine in Rust DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Mustafa Akur will take you behind the scenes of query execution with Apache DataFusion. You'll explore how queries are par sed\, optimized\, and executed\, and gain insight into the architectural p rinciples that make DataFusion fast\, extensible\, and modular. The talk w ill delve into the goals of the Apache DataFusion project\, the problems i t aims to solve in the modern data ecosystem\, and why Rust is a key part in the story.\n\nhttps://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-05-08-apache-datafu sion/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Engineering Building\, room EB 102\, 1 930 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-05-08-apache-datafusion/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2025-07-10-magic-word-squares@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20250711T020000Z DTEND:20250711T040000Z SUMMARY:Fast Finding of Magic Word Squares in Rust DESCRIPTION:Bart Massey will talk about fast finding of Magic Word Squares in Rust.\n\nhttps://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-07-10-magic-word-squares / LOCATION:Portland State University\, Engineering Building\, room EB 102\, 1 930 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-07-10-magic-word-squares/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2025-08-14-cross-magic@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20250815T020000Z DTEND:20250815T040000Z SUMMARY:Cross-Magic: personal projects\, Rust games\, and utilizing AI DESCRIPTION:Being inspired by magic word squares after last month's talk\, Ben Massey decided to craft a demo of an AI-powered crossword game using t hese word squares. Touching on approaches to personal projects\, the state of generative AI usage in Rust\, and front-end crate options: Ben is aimi ng to use this demo game to bring up some fun Rust topics.\n\nhttps://pdxr ust.github.io/events/2025-08-14-cross-magic/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Engineering Building\, room EB 102\, 1 930 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-08-14-cross-magic/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2025-11-13-rust-coding-with-ai@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20251114T030000Z DTEND:20251114T050000Z SUMMARY:Rust Coding with AI DESCRIPTION:Bart Massey will lead a discussion and demo of using AI tools f or creating and analyzing Rust code\, as well as learning Rust concepts an d their application.\n\nhttps://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-11-13-rust-c oding-with-ai/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Engineering Building\, room EB 102\, 1 930 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2025-11-13-rust-coding-with-ai/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2026-01-08-toasty-orm@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20260109T030000Z DTEND:20260109T050000Z SUMMARY:Toasty: An Easy-to-use Object-Relational Mapping for Rust DESCRIPTION:An object-relational mapping (ORM) is a layer that lets you wor k with a database using native types instead of writing queries directly. In Rust terms\, an ORM maps tables to structs\, rows to struct instances\, and columns to fields\, handling serialization\, deserialization\, and qu ery construction for you.\n\nhttps://pdxrust.github.io/events/2026-01-08-t oasty-orm/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Engineering Building\, room EB 102\, 1 930 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2026-01-08-toasty-orm/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2026-02-12-implementing-a-window-manager@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20260213T030000Z DTEND:20260213T050000Z SUMMARY:Implementing a Window Manager: developer workflows\, C bindings\, a nd Rust tooling DESCRIPTION:An artist might paint their parent a picture\, a sculptor may c raft them a vase\, but a programmer writes them an x11 window manager.\n\n https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2026-02-12-implementing-a-window-manager/ LOCATION:Portland State University\, Fourth Avenue Building\, 1900 SW 4th A ve\, Portland\, OR URL:https://pdxrust.github.io/events/2026-02-12-implementing-a-window-manag er/ STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2026-04-09-hexadecimal-floating-point@pdxrust DTSTAMP:20261017T195938Z DTSTART:20260410T020000Z DTEND:20260410T040000Z SUMMARY:Hexadecimal Floating Point? Why? How? DESCRIPTION:Why in the world would anyone want to write a floating-point nu mber in hexadecimal? Is the '.' in such a number still a "decimal point"\, or is it a "hexadecimal point"?

Luke Petherbridge will discuss what it takes to process those signals and render a live\, scrolling frequency display in a web browser using Rust\, Leptos\, WebGL2\, and WebAssembly (WASM) using digital signal processing like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
