plrust, which exists on my laptop so far, now supports using external dependencies. Hang tight y'all. @ZomboDB is about to change the #PostgreSQL landscape (again!) and make it even more accessible to all programmers, including #rustlang programmers! /cc @oconnor663

As you do #AdventOfCode this year - or any year - try to judge your own progress not by how many stars you have, but instead by how many things you learned.

Here's an excellent #AdventOfCode write-up by the person that got first place overall on the global leaderboard in 2019 (and 2nd in 2018), @betaveros: blog.vero.site/post/advent-l…

Today's favourite commit message: "chore: Correct potential panic should the installer time travel into the past" The things I do for the @rustlang installer.

Ugh, halfway around my run today and my calves started to threaten cramps. 10km of walk/try-run/nopenope/walk later and I'm home

Finally I played Detroit: Become Human through. And I am massively saddened that in the end my attempt to make choices was entirely derailed by my inability to handle 'Quick Time Events' - I was trying to play a story game, not a twitchy thing. Oh well.

I just wrote a small post on how I calibrate #AdventOfCode puzzles' execution time given so many different solutions and languages: old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/co…

I assume, like all of twitter's less helpful "innovations", tweetdeck will miss out on 'fleet's and/or make them just fit into the normal timeline. Here's hoping I don't accidentally post any though as responses come as DMs I'm told.

Anyone want to contribute to rustdoc? In the @rustlang dev tools meeting we saw that github.com/rust-lang/rust/pu… is pretty cool but needs someone with a bit of time on their hands to push it over the finish line. Comment on the PR if you feel like this is something you wanna do :)

Fuck that, I'm hoping to forget.
People who are positive, enthusiastic and cheerful are less likely to experience memory loss as they get older.

Wow. This is the most powerful and insightful video I have seen from the election coverage: a must watch.
