I had the opportunity to play guitar in the backing band at a friends' vocal school's anniversary celebration concert.

One of the cooler moments was sharing the stage with this girl performing a fantastic cover version of "Hallelujah"!

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

Apparently Cloudflare was taken down by a single `Result::unwrap` in their #Rust code

@bram oh you mean, like, fiction?

Been wanting to try it out as well, but so far I hate everything I've written down. I guess, just got to grind it out, but it's gonna be a while until I produce award-winning work 😂

are there any huge high quality photo texture packs still out there?

looking for a huge city/park texture pack like those oldschool texture CDs so I don't need to gather textures one by one using some shitty web interface

also, all the asset stores appear to be polluted by overprocessed and procedurally generated slop, hardly any quality stuff, especially anything x-tiling (seamless in one direction only)

@bram oh i thought it's primary use is for things like smart TVs, but that's also a pretty neat idea!

every time I'm telling a fellow dev how I solved a problem I fully expect them to say something like "oh you could have just used a balanced Von Gloober tree with a walking cheetah algorithm" making my solution look like the equivalent of a child eating crayons.

Your periodic reminder that most CLI password prompts accept Ctrl+U to fully clear input so you can try again. Leave that backspace key alone.
