Interesting/frustrating #Rust problem. I want to open up N database cursors which I'd like to iterate separately.

Most DBs will let you do this in a single connection. But I'm not seeing a way to do that in rusqlite or sqlx, because of lifetime constraints in the APIs. 🤔

I've been doing this manually by fishing out the commit ID and replacing a portion of the URL. 😣

@JenMsft Not sure why that changed from Win 10 to 11, but that was it. Thank you! :)

At the moment of silence for the Capitol Police officers who died, there were only two Republicans who showed up.

Rep. Lynn Cheney. And her father. The 80 year old former Vice President.

An extraordinary image of where this country’s politics are right now.

Trump used his powers as POTUS to undermine the results of an election he lost, organized a violent insurrection and sacking of the US Capitol, undermined the response to it, and endorsed the murder of political enemies and Biden and Garland are afraid to call it "treason"

@cpratt Yeah, I like the international keyboard too. Never know when I might need to throw in a "sömuleiðis" or a "forfikiĝu!" (Most importantly, my husband's name contains an ð.)

Remember when McConnell got rid of the filibuster to confirm Trump's SCOTUS nominees? Dems could do the same...but for voting rights.

If they don't, Republicans will keep the Senate in gridlock, blame Democrats for it, then run on Democrats’ incompetence in the 2022 midterms.

This ... seems like a regression after my "upgrade" to Windows 11.

(Previously, input methods were contained tidily in the taskbar, near the date.)

@steveklabnik My metric is "how much state do I need to keep in my head to make sure I'm properly understanding this code?"

Untyped spaghetti code that uses global state in various files? 👎

Deeply indented control flow? 👎

Encapsulated, strongly-typed code? 👍

w/ docs? 👍👍

Saaame. This is one reason I wrote #FeoBlog. It's more #decentralized than Twitter alternatives like #Mastodon/#ActivityPub.

I specifically avoided using a blockchain.

@zkat__ *raises hand* Personally I want decentralization, I'm just rejecting blockchains because blockchains are centralized. A blockchain is a single centralized data store which happens to be owned by multiple people. Might as well call S3 decentralized, Amazon has multiple datacenters

This is especially helpful with #Rust when you're using methods that are defined on traits implemented for a type you're working with.

"Which trait implements this method? What's its import path?" is sometimes a bit of a distraction to code flow. Let the IDE find & import. ❤️

@rustadventure replied to a tweet by @rustadventure:

Rust Analyzer will let you know in-editor when you haven't brought a symbol into scope using a red squiggle.

Then you can use Cmd+. to trigger the "import" helper, which will either auto-insert the appropriate use item or if there are multiple possibilities, let you choose.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") wrote:

I don't like relying on type inlays when writing code. If the code isn't readable without an IDE adding more metadata to it, then you need to make it simpler. Reviewers likely will just see the plain text code.

Thankfully, you can disable this feature.

@rustadventure replied to a tweet by @rustadventure:

The type inlays provide information about the types in your program right next to where they exist. They update in real time as you change your program and it really helps when you're learning a new library and not sure what type a function returns.

@travisthetechie Had this thought as we come out of our own deploy freeze and find that some of the services we rely on are coincidentally a bit flakier this week than last. 😜

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") wrote:

*deep inhale*. Aaah.

January is like a NYC Spring for the internet.

All the deploy freezes thaw out at the same time, and the internet tubes are filled with months of garbage, human waste, and rat corpses.

So there's a free upgrade to Windows 11 available, but I can't for the life of me find the answer to these questions:

1. If I upgrade my Win10 Pro to 11, do I get 11 Pro? or Home? (Home would be a downgrade, IMO.)

2. Is Pro still required in Win11 to use Remote Desktop?

Playing Catan Jr. with my 5 year old nephew (at his request!):

10m setup and reading rules

3m watching him stack the deck

2m reassuring him that, no, his sister hasn’t stolen the die. The game hasn’t started.

2m gameplay.

Then he left to take his sister’s toy.

Game over. 😆
