At work: @rjek: If I never have to touch Docker I will be well on my way to being a happy man Me: I used to think that, then I realised I was a fundamentally unhappy person, so I let Docker touch me in my bad place. Me: I'm now more unhappy, but can at least wield docker a bit

RT if you’ve never had an abortion but support a woman’s choice to have an abortion
I've never met a girl who supports abortion who hasn't had an abortion. Big cope.

My friend lars wrote a name generator for projects -- toot.liw.fi/@liw/10507936979… Sadly I now need to work out what plastic-raindrop, vineyard-munitions, and conspiracy-parallelism do.

Each day I refresh the #adventofcode website and each day I'm sad it hasn't ticked over to 2020 yet :( @ericwastl is there a known timeline for when I'll be able to AoC++ myself for this year?

My friend Kian is being very mild in his call here. I'd say neck, not thigh.

On this International pronouns Day, remember: Adding your pronouns to your bio does no harm, and immensely pisses off the exact type of person you should want to piss off

Holly crap. Thanks Tom!
Pretty extraordinary - Tom Lehrer, aged 92, has decided to put all his lyrics and sheet music into the public domain, before he passes away. tomlehrersongs.com

If you're interested in helping, then a good place to start would be github.com/rust-lang/rustup/… You can come talk to us on our discord too - discord.gg/rust-lang we're in the rustup working group channel.
Since I'm finally over my enormous github notifications backlog, I've enabled the @hacktoberfest topic on the rustup repository - github.com/rust-lang/rustup - Here's hoping that if anyone wants hacktoberfest kudos, they treat us well and don't file single typo-fix PRs. cc @rustlang

As someone who has spent a lot of time dealing with the horrors inflicted on the world because of C, how about instead you spend time improving Rust's optimisers so that it's as good/better than C?
Save the planet, code in C.

If you’re still wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying away from people, please share this because sometimes people try to make me feel like I’m overreacting.

Some cheeky BMW oik ICEing an EV charge space at Gorton @Tesco in Manchester. This kind of thing irritates me immensely. **AND** they were parked really badly (diagonally in the space) /cc @YPLAC

We're aware of issues downloading the nightly toolchain using rustup, and we're working on a fix.
