@mo8it @zenora @ljrk I think I'll probably use this for some one-off smallish programs that I write occasionally that are fairly processor intensive due to the combinatorics involved. Setting up separate rust projects for each one seems awkward. I've so far resorted to python for these, but then some of them can take hours to complete. And other times, if I'm sure it will take a while, in C++ using the old `g++ file.cpp && ./a.out` approach.

Hmmm, maybe I can move some of my shell scripts over to #Rust using #RustScript:

I initially thought about doing that with Go since Go is a bit more ergonomic for just spiffing out code IMHO, but the tooling around Rust is simply surpassing Go at an incredible pace.

@trentskunk I am not really using Rust a lot yet, but I read about it a bit. I've collected non-beginner articles for future use here: gist.github.com/ambihelical/03
I'm sure I've missed some good ones as my focus wavers over the years, so I wouldn't call it comprehensive by any stretch.

@husjon Welp `return` returns from the function, but you will want to give expressions a value at times and `return` won't work in that case.

@ianRobinson @jasonmcfadden @coperob I think it's just that qoto is running a fork of an older version of mastodon. The edit feature was added only recently in some 4.x version. Qoto is running 3.2.1 with additions of various levels of quality. Probably would be best to ask @freemo what the plans are for upgrading.

@kickingvegas I am mostly curious about the bad idea part, and evidence thereof. I got the new slack today at work. I'm actually not a fan of bloated apps, and by extension, electron apps, but it seems ok I guess? Maybe I have too much RAM, lol.

@alebaffa@fosstodon.org @skwee357 so true, tempest in a teapot. Take the long view.

@shadow53 It is overblown, and for good reason. Most "drama" in Rust is drama because people care about the language and it's security guarantees. That's reassuring to me.

@deech I have a friend that insists karaoke is Japanese for “party killer”. For other reasons obviously.

@olives Are you talking about tendency of certain admins to defederate from more open instances like qoto, or something else?

I've been thinking of how to express what I think about the Burning Man situation, but this guy just did it perfectly.

Fuck Burning Man.

I was looking at arm microcontrollers for a project at work recently. This is not something I have done in a while. Some of the newer ones have features like page protection and secure enclave support that I've never seen at that level before. Seems like progress.

@AmenZwa Those don't seem remotely comparable. Those tattoos have important meanings with the respective professions but IEEE and ACM are just organizations. I'm sure there's an EE's arm with Maxwell's equations somewhere. For CS, not sure what would have that sort of meaning.

@brokenix Just checked, the author updated the package an hour ago with that fix.

@brokenix And the reason for it is the meta data tells the package what other packages and version to download. The author probably just forgot to update it. It's a simple bug, and easy to fix.

@brokenix Without making changes to the original package, you can probably load elisp-refs in your config before loading lemmington.

@brokenix looks like it’s not declaring the elisp-refs dependency in the package meta data.
