A modern mobile phone CPU (let alone the rest of it) has enough transistors in it that it'd take 87 tonnes of rice to have the same number of grains of rice. What amazes me is how much rice/wheat is produced rather than how many transistors.
1,000 times more transistors are produced globally than grains of rice or wheat.

Righty, I've finished the work, and reviewing it again. With the help of @pietroalbini I've migrated rustup (@rustlang installer) from Travis/Appveyor to github actions.

Good morning everyone. Day two of my @rustlang / rustup focus will be primarily spent trying to find any kind of official github action for aws/s3 because it seems near impossible :/
Nearing the end of day one of a @rustlang / rustup focus and I got my issue/PR backlog cleared, wrote the patch for installer confusion (PR is pending me deciding if I can usefully CI test it) And I've started writing github actions workflows for Rustup.

Today is "Back to the grindstone" but for Rustup (the install for @rustlang) rather than for my paying job :D On the docket for the day -- clear my backlog of issues/PR reviews, and submit a patch for a nasty confusion caused by i686 installers on x86_64 systems.

Advice: it is essential for all time that you write the date in the form 'YYYY-MM-DD' so that it is unambiguous and not vulnerable to digit addon attack. Also it sorts nicely.

For those who don't follow me elsewhere, my new years day double officially came out at just around an hour for the two together, and unofficially came out as 57:30 ish. Good news indeed for a sub-1h continuous 10k on the 26th Jan in Heaton Park

I had a delicious soupy lunch with @rjek earlier, but I'm already considering first dinner because I'm somehow immensely hungry. Must have been all that cycling/running earlier.

Parkrun #1 done. Knackered now but will have time to cycle to the next one hopefully.

Happy new year to all my friends and followers. I hope you achieved all you set out to in 2019 and that the next twelve months are even more than you could have hoped for.

@YeOldeVic : New Year's Eve - Open to all. Please bring food and don't forget a Secret Santa Present (max value ยฃ5....the dafter the better!!) Should be a good night - so, rather inevitably, we are closed on New Year's Day! Look forward to seeing you.

Want to contribute to the Rust project but you don't know where to start? I wrote mentoring instructions to implement a small docs.rs feature, consider checking it out! github.com/rust-lang/docs.rsโ€ฆ

Phew, I might have struggled a *LOT* with yesterday's #adventofcode but at least I know how to wrangle a network of intcode VMs with relative ease. Timesliced computing FTW!
