Wrapping up the v1.0 of an internal product hand-crafted from the ground up on my own...

It's kind of cool but also really scary. I have to show it to the department director this afternoon and I feel like yesterday and this morning has just been staring at the code, trying to figure out whether I made any mistakes, whether it's ready to deploy, what bugs are going to be found almost immediately..etc

I find it odd that it's difficult to find light bulbs for home use higher than 1500 lumens. As well I find it weird that 800 lumens seems to be the standard.

Like, I need more LIGHT when I'm working.

Any tips? Checked two local hardware stores already

Reddit was briefly down earlier today. No fix was mentioned, potentially a DDoS?

Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

There are currently 137 active wildfires here in the province of Québec. This is a brutal wildfire season, and will likely be the worst season on record by the time things are settled down.

But y'know, climate change isn't real, right?

TFW you get shat on for speaking English in a French-speaking province, then shat on for speaking French because your French isn't good enough.

Catch 22? Sorry, dilemme insoluble!

It also turns out that SpaceHey is one KB smaller than my website. At least the front page is.

I wonder if Outlook copilot is going to help me manage the emails in my inbox so that I can keep some modicum of sanity in my life

Good-natured competition between my partner and I: being the first one to ask the other “what do you want for dinner?”

You can scream and shout and moan and judge all you want, but if the proprietary alternative is by far easier to use to get the same results, you won't get most people to switch.

It's quite a high bar, but that's a consequence of the tendency towards the path of least resistance.

Genuinely interested if there are cases where this hasn't held true.

If you say any Linux distro, you lose. Those are easier for some to use. Not technically, but ideologically.

Now I'm looking for some syntactic sugar in #Rust. At the moment I have this method signature:

pub fn assert_ratio_tolerance<T: TryInto<Decimal>>(expected: T, actual: T, tolerance: T) where <T as TryInto<Decimal>>::Error: Debug

and I'm hoping there's some way of creating a type alias, let's call it DebugDec, so that the method can be:

pub fn assert_ratio_tolerance<T: DebugDec, U: DebugDec, V: DebugDec>(expected: T, actual: U, tolerance: V)

Does Rust offer a way to create such an alias?
