@pete I fear for us all of Elizabeth ever finishes The Last War I Albion. That's surely one of the portents.

@andybalaam I wanted a mutable private member of a constant object.

Some languages - Python, JS - just don't let you express this.

In C++, you'd have a mutable member of a constant object, so you've got a language mechanism.

With Rust, you use RefCell, which appears to be a magical library […]

@pete You've just made me remember that John Welding and me took a trip to the National Film Theatre to see Tetsuo II

@andybalaam Well that was an adventure. Some of the way Rust works feels super weird. Once again, Rust is not a beginners' language.

@pikesley Your personal bar _is_ very high

Pitch wet but played. Problem is wind. It's moving the goals when it gusts. More rain and wind forecast, peaking at push back. Spoke to oppo, they don't fancy travelling 2 hours with no guarantee of game, which is fair enough. Hopefully we can reschedule.

BOLLOCKS!

Absolutely boils my piss that bigger clubs (including some of the biggest in UK, nevermind in Wales) won't make the same commitment to us as we make to them.

We're the smallest of small clubs. There are 17 of us. That's it. But we can get 11 boys out on Saturday, and we'll spend all day back and forth on the M4 to fulfill a fixture.

Hockey's a minority sport in the UK. Everybody knows it. Unless you live in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Bristol you're going to have to travel for your sport. All the teams in our league know what they're signing up for, but so often suddenly seem to be stuck for availability when they […]

@Floppy I didn't do a full sync though. I just added forgejo as a remote, then pushed. I didn't try and grab issues, etc

@Floppy I brought up a local Forgejo instance using their docker image in under 5 minutes. It's easy easy 👍

@pete I didn't. I only watched a bit of Glastonbury - mainly Wet Leg with a very bemused Harry

@pikesley Less a jacket, more a carapace

Evening! I'm looking for a small favour....

The first track from my new #aardhd project has an official release on 19th Jan, but the YouTube video is up on a private listing ahead of that date.

I'd be really grateful if some of you could go and give it a play so it already has some numbers on […]

@andybalaam I like the idea of a sort. You can tell a nice little story in about an hour
