I'd like to post only about open-source but there's a world around us.
Random #rust tip: Did you know that by hitting ctrl-j you can see the list of jobs and their bindings in #bacon ?

BTW this menu is customizable and I had totally forgotten about it to the point I pondered about adding the feature...

The small project I started in order to learn Rust, 7 years ago, isn't quite as small today.

#broot now has 100 contributors.

Les travers des IA actuelles illustrés sur une question innocente: des circonvolutions sans autre but que faire savant et dissimuler la vacuité des connaissances spécifiques, et un résulat annoncé en titre sans cohérence avec le raisonnement.

Interesting approach.

When derives don't fit the line, I would prefer being able to do this but it doesn't play well with rustmt unfortunately:

LinkedIn-like posts, mass following as a way to gather an audience, bsky is going through a bad time...

Parsing enums in #rust is so much cleaner and easier to maintain with regex_switch.

Yes I'm bragging but also you should really use lazy-regex ( github.com/Canop/lazy-r... ).

Of course all regexes are lazy static and checked at compile time.
Feedback welcome.

It's quite major but the little change I want to promote is a more helpful --help with main shortcuts and examples.
