I didn't expect "Dead To Me" (Netflix show) to be this consistently good. I need someone to share my excitement here (I'm almost done with season 2, no spoilers!)

@bryan yay!

@hjvt so you're saying I should give into the urge? I just might

If I make a function extern "C", then without #[no_mangle] it doesn't change much, as a user wouldn't be able to rely on the name, correct? If so, I could add #[no_mangle], but then downstream users wouldn't be able to depend on two semver-incompatible versions of the same library, even if only using Rust.

Am I mistaken here? I'm trying to determine if it's reasonable to make some functions in time extern "C".

@jhpratt that sounds right. It also seems quite easy to test! I would test it but I'm supposed to rest. Go test it, for science!

I'm starting to understand that train tickets in Switzerland don't work like other countries i.e. aren't like plane tickets where you book way in advance, but more like bus tickets i.e. you just have to have a "I paid" Thing. Is this the case and also why I can't buy a ticket for my trip in June?

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@anizocani mhhhh IIRC it depends on the kind of train? (R, IR, IC) but I think you might be correct

@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@anizocani ugh that sucks - for the swiss side, you're booking from sbb.ch right?

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@anizocani I lived thereabouts five years and can't really remember a time a train was so crowded I couldn't actually get on! You'll be fine 😎

@anizocani haha thanks! you make it sound like I have moved past the need for jaw.. maybe I have!

I'll just say I'm fighting hard to maintain weight, and craving any sort of solid food (it'll be a while), but most everything else is sorted, which is great 🙏

I’ve not yet looked it up because it’s easier to just talk into the void than rely on search engine; is it possible to do rust performance analysis on macOS or do I need to use Linux?

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@voided I've done it mostly on Linux but since "it's all just LLVM+DWARF", any performance analysis software on macOS (like the built-in thing, I forget what it's called) should work tbqh

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@voided I meant the GUI system wide profiler that's under /Applications/Utilities or something, can never remember the name..

I really need to learn dtrace for real, I keep being annoyed that strace needs SIP disabled (iirc)

Have you ever thought "I want to write Rust, but in a Makefile"? No? Well, I have now!


hello-world:  
 @fn@hachyderm.io main() {  
 println!("hello makerust!")

I'm still recovering from surgery atm and quitting vaping so at night I get dehydrated and loopy because 24h nicotine patches, anyway- I just witnessed my inner self walk down, like, 17 separate questions/ideas, then having to walk the graph all the way up to remember why I opened a browser 🥲

(The reason was: to google "OBS better green screen" and the answer is mostly lolsob)

Gahh I'm so excited for myself. I'm so looking forward to not having all the health downsides of chain-vaping, I'm not even on coffee right now, headaches will most likely be a rare thing...

I bought myself a 2nd (matching-but-better) 4K screen along with some more hardware: I'd usually feel bad about spending $$$ but I'm spending money I earned by being creative and teaching stuff to people! Which is my full-time job now!! AhhhhHHhhHHH I can't wait to get back to work 🌌

Y'all there were so many things to figure out in my twenties. Sooo many things. I went through depression, then anxiety, then combination depression and anxiety, and so many jobs that weren't quite right for me. I learned to listen to others AND myself better, to be more patient, to enjoy the little things. I'm unreasonably pleased with myself right now and so looking forward to the years to come.

I didn't do this alone!! I'm sharing my life with an incredible woman (dating for 11y, married for 2y), I've had the privilege to meet so many compassionate and patient people online who gave their time and energy to set me on this much better path. Which is to say I hung out in so many tech spaces I'm honorary queer now. I love y'all. Thanks for putting up with me all this time.

@xgranade @jk @mawhrin Okay. My questions are about to get even weirder.

  1. If you run rustup.exe --version what do you get, at this second?
  2. Do you incidentally happen to have WSL installed?

@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@xgranade @mcc what do you mean "programs should rename themselves to a temp dir and schedule their deletion on reboot" isn't common knowledge???

@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@binarycrusader @xgranade @mcc ooh that looks tasty and I would not mind requiring Win10 for this lol

Cool, so when I receive a wire transfer from the US, my bank takes away $20US because, then does currency exchange to EUR, then takes away 16€ for "bringing the money here", then another 16.10€ for the currency conversion.

It's a good thing I'm expensive too because damn.

@piecritic but I don't want to bully customers / foundations into having to use something like that 🙃

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@piecritic ohhh hmm I should run that by my accountant and then do it actually.

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@piecritic I have a feeling the taxman will want to know about these accounts, just need to figure out the right thing to do here.

fasterthanlime,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@piecritic well here we go then (thanks for the tip!)

@piecritic not greedy enough, once again :P
