More belated as Catsby finds a sunbeam

Seeing lots of ads for the new Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible movie, which only makes me wish there were a real heist/ensemble revival of the 1966 show rather than a solo hero action movie franchise

So, this is a Rust compiler error that's had me head-scratching for awhile. Assuming there's just something I'm missing as a noob:

I have a variable typed as serde_json::Value - but when I try to call https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/value/enum.Value.html#impl-Deserialize%3C'de%3E-for-Value, the compiler thinks it's an instance of tera::Value and that it's missing the deserialize method.

Googling around to see if there's some magic import incantation I'm missing

lmorchard,

Using serde_json::from_value() seems to do the needful here, so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'll use that. But, I clearly misunderstand something about that deserialize method

lmorchard,

@onelson Yeah, a weird thing I'm doing here and snipped out for the screenshot is that I first store the JSON as-is into a DB column before trying to deserialize to a more specific type

lmorchard,

@onelson I'm pretty much assuming everything I'm doing is slightly wrong and am surprised when it finally compiles after I've pinballed off all the errors heh

lmorchard,

@onelson Heh, well, that's reassuring because 1) try to do something, 2) make compiler happy is exactly my current stumbling pattern. And the program is indeed doing the things, so I guess success?

lmorchard,

@onelson Oh, I have not seen todo()! I'll have to poke at that

I intensely dislike it when a metal band tries to cater to conservatives...

Metal is an inherently anti-authoritarian artform.

If you are gonna play it... you better be ready to take up the message for the disenfranchised and the powerless, center it, and use that thunder to punch up.

No, I will not be taking questions at this time.

lmorchard,

@vertigo @thegibson The Napster shit-fit is about when I stopped caring at all about Metallica.

Also, more recent karma ensued

A portrait of ADHD: I made my morning espresso. I cleaned up. I did not drink the espresso. I discovered it just now, 2 1/2 hours later

lmorchard,

@kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon fwiw, Iโ€™ve been really enjoying this color e-ink tablet (Boox Tab Ultra C) for comics, been eating lunch out on my deck and reading an issue most weekdays

lmorchard,

@kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon I will say I justified it thanks to work partly reimbursing it as a โ€œlearningโ€ expense, because I also use it for books & papers

lmorchard,

@andreaslindholm @kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon yeah, this thing runs android, so kindle & epub readers work, along with all the digital comic stores & readers

Maybe we should just spin up a new invite-only social network every 3 months with a different constellation of people and just delete it as soon as it stops being fun. I've probably tooted this before (on a since-deleted account)

lmorchard,

If I were a billionaire and didn't care about server costs or lawyers or whatever, I would actually do this until my ADHD made me wander away from it

lmorchard,

What if we ran limited-lifespan social networks like virtual music festivals or something? They pop up, people camp out, weird shit happens, then another one intentionally pops up to replace it.

Because what I'm getting here is not that the tech is particularly good or interesting, it's the crowd that shows up

Thinking about things I've hauled around on my cargo e-bike, I will say you haven't lived until you've been dumb enough to try ferrying home a 5-gallon bucket of white primer paint in the front basket and 5 more 1-gallon cans strapped down to the back.

This was a year or two ago. I made it home without mishap, but a) super glad the front basket was attached to the frame and not the handlebars, b) low-traffic roads and patience were essential.

lmorchard,

@joshua Sorta similarly, I got cut off by a minivan and panic-clutched the front brake at 20mph. Went over the handlebars and landed on my elbow. Didn't break it, but pretty sure there's no funny-bone left in there now. Only un-funny-bone

lmorchard,

@joshua Maybe he's a secret agent now and the dislocatable shoulder comes in handy for getting out of jams

Only a trickster spirit can perform an exorcism of the grifter.

lmorchard,

@thegibson A grifter is kinda like a mock trickster who needs a real one to show them what can happen

I've been trying to hold the line with firefox but I gotta be honest, it's so jacked out with ads that are hard to disable now that I just kinda feel like my experience would be equivalent with Chrome.
