I really need to keep a notepad of future tweet/skeet/toots. I don't need my recently learned lessons to trigger repercussions in my current situation.

"Watching" smaller dependencies on GitHub has taught me so much useful random crap. Basically any vim plugin or non-mainstream repo I use, I follow.

When constructing tuple structs, you can use curly braces with integer keys. These are identical:
let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true)
let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};
let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true)
let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};
what's a bit of obscure rust/rustup/cargo/crates.io lore that you know?

Yeah... I think I'm gonna revert to the last macOS version. There's noticeably worse battery life. My 2021 m1 Macbook Pro is now physically warm when idling which has never happened.

Protip, in #rust, when you're trying to find the caller for a `Impl From<(some, annoying, tuple)> for Foo`, just comment out that `From` trait impl and you'll find the compiler error where it's called. It's usually some `Into::into()` call. I do wish this was a feature in rust-analyzer though.

I really dunno how people bought faminine products for their spouses before phones. There’s like 100 different products in this aisle and I’m doing a binary search by sending photos to my wife.

We just merged the initial trait solver migration PR into rust-analyzer 🎉 Thanks a ton to Jack for their tremendous work!
We'll pause our (stable) releases for a bit in case of major usability regressions but please give the pre-release a spin on your projects!

Switch from Chalk to the next trait solver by jackh726 · Pull Request #20329 · rust-lang/rust-analyzer
At this point, opening up for general review, though I don't think this is fully ready to merge.
Some checklist (non-exhaustive) of things to do before/after merge (feel free to edit):

Maybe `dd` from a 1.8TB single disk to a 16TB mirror pair of disks wasn't the best first step. I'm feeling quite lazy though. Perhaps I should drink beer, play video games (off the 1.8TB disk) and then run `dd`.

I want adblock but for internet rumors without a source. For that matter, I want a social media slider for "probably true to no idea". Like, if someone re-posts a claim that's not verified too many times, they show up less.
Oh wait, I just re-discovered the "For you" feed on other apps.

There really should be some general UX on all input boxes to say if ctrl-enter/shift-enter/enter adds a new line or posts the content.

It's been so long since I used `sed` that I forgot some of the syntax. Like, I had to relearn `sed -i 's:foo/bar:baz:'`. It's probably a good thing that I'm not doing as much editing with regular expressions.
