@beforewisdom I've been using vi and clones since the 80's. I used vile between vi and vim, but interesting that that clone wasn't even mentioned. I never used elvis and I don't remember it at all. Good article otherwise.

@mike805 @freemo I dunno if we should read toooo much into avatar facial expressions. To me @freemo's says just escaped from belview, found his mom's credit card and is enjoying some fun times at a local tiki bar. But I somewhat suspect that's not the case.

@nnethercote i have seen topless frames for sale so you could potentially salvage the top and recycle the metal in the bottom.

Thinking about using ETL (etlcpp.com/) for embedded work for an arm m33 class chip. Any opinions on it by other embedded programmers out there?

@MattMerk @freemo @seachanger

I guess "public good believer" doesn't mean what I would think it means.

@LouisIngenthron lololol let em wear their porn stashes already, keeps the gene pool healthy!

@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.
