Last in-person interview I did, I think I wore cargo trousers and a t-shirt with a rude slogan on it.

Yes, that's basically #include'ing the tests over again. You *should* be using the lib crate as any other client application would. In what way were you having trouble before?

I am incredibly sad that public CI services have had to tune down their provision due to cryptocurrency wankers -- as a result the development loop when designing new CI for a project is so much longer that I risk losing interest in the work I'm doing :(

Hear hear - you often hear touted "We are a diverse workplace" but all that means is that there's a variety of people present. An **inclusive** workplace, though, is one which encourages and celebrates these differences - finding value in everyone's individuality.

In this sense we reverted the 1.24.0 upload, so people who managed to download 1.24.0 got 1.24.0 but the next time rustup tried to `upgrade` it would end up reverting itself to 1.23.1.

Thank you to everyone who helped us beta-test this fix.

We have fixed the regression, and Rustup 1.24.1 is here! $ rustup self update If there's any more issues, we'll be watching out for them! blog.rust-lang.org/2021/04/2…

I learned incredibly early in life that masking my Brummie roots was valuable to cause others to take me seriously. What's really sad is that this has led to me now fighting my own bias against regional accents in others. However I don't think I want to 'return' to brummie :D

Hear hear.
I. Hate. Cryptocurrencies. There are no redeeming qualities. None. There’s a hardware shortage everywhere, they gobble energy supply in a completely unsustainable model, and almost everyone involved is only doing this to make money…in another currency.

One thing to note is that `rustup` depends on a lot more of the community of crates than the compiler etc. do. For example we can't build for aarch64-windows yet.

Thank you all for the effort putting this together. I guess we need to think about what the rules are for `rustup` to include a build for a target now :D (At least something more than "we don't think it'll break our release too often")

Sadly, as is always the way, we found a small regression after the release. This time it was irritating enough that we rolled back while we bake the fix. Sorry for the pain everyone, we'll have 1.24.1 when we're sure the fix is good.
Replying to @rustlang
A regression was found in the Rustup 1.24.0 release and we rolled back to 1.23.1. Running `rustup self update` will roll you back to the previous version. We're sorry for the issue.

We supported toml in the extensionless version in 1.23.0 - that's been there for 6+ months :D

I used to do the absolute bare minimum in kdenlive and even that would take me 2-4 times as long as the final video just to lay the bloody thing out.
I think nixos has properly infected me. On my walk today I pondered a nixos host, running firecracker VMs each running nixos as a container host running nixos built containers. My brain has hit its recursion limit and its stack has toppled.

100% this - I'm going to steal "Captain Planet villain" though as another way to describe this hateful techbro ponzi scheme enabling technology
Cryptocurrency is literally like an eight-year-old's concept of an evil businessman. He just plugs his pollution machine in and gets money for it. It doesn't make anything, it just. Pollutes. And makes money. Like a fucking Captain Planet villain
