@mossyfoot

I could look this up, but why not message you ans ask, and welcome you at the same time!!

What do bee populations do over the winter months? Been curious about this for a while and get distracted before I could ever look it up.

I have only one thing to say to those that will be surprised by anything in the next 1460 days...

"If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

Fellow mastodonians...

Why am I seeing messages such as:

"Messages from this server may be missing"

and such?

Thank you Rust developers for making the comment syntax leader be //

This rocks for one coming from a majority C/C++ background.

Was tinkering with the Rust concept of 'forcing' a larger size integer type into a smaller size type* and I could not figure out why the compiler seemed to keep complaining even after I applied the suggested hint.

https://gist.github.com/rust-play/53ff3858f9fbdaf5d1dfbd9adaec7f3d

x + y is the return expression** and I needed to call try_into() on the whole thing and the following is (now) obviously calling it on the y.

x + y.try_into().unwrap()

So now this works...

(x + y).try_into().unwrap()

I just said this and made myself laugh afterwards....

"... I will take the wafers. I need something more sugary-presenting"

when referring to sugar free wafers that have no sugar but taste more like they contain sugar than the rice cakes I was offered as well.

LOL 🏳️‍🌈

Thank you very much Rust compiler, very helpful...

help: you can convert an i32 to an i8 and panic if the converted value doesn't fit

The thing that makes me uneasy so far in learning Rust:

return statements are ofteb unnecessary

One can simply

fn add_two_numbers(a, b) {

a + b

}

It sort of freaks me out seeing no "return a + b"

May also post that I am offering a ride-along / pairing session as I learn things along the way. I do not record these as I prefer active pair learning.

I have many years experience writing in C/C++ and Python. Yesterday I started learning Rust.

Warning: many posts coming of details of my experiences.

Listening to E. S. Posthumous's album Unearthed.

Went to the internets to see if there are more works by this artist. Bummed out to find that one of the group passed and there is no more music from the group.

I did roll my eyes a bit back when I learned of "pythonic" and what it meant. Just now I learned of "rusty" and am rolling my eyes even more dramatically before I attempt to confirm what I think it means.

Probably the most helpful right away I could be would be to pair with someone who wants to learn how to use git. Git = a popular and commonly used tool that is used to revise and archive software code.

I have an interactive pairing technique for this that seems to work well.

New to programming/software development? Need or want a demo/1:1 session on tools or programming basics? Even git, the source control tool.

With the recent ick in the world I can contribute to less ick, or in some way help those that are directly affected by the ick. I can do this by sharing what I have learned in 20+ years of software development and engineering.

Especially welcome: folks that do not "look or live like me". Haters not welcome. Extra super especially welcome, based on Monday's celebration of an amazing American. (The guy who had a dream, not the asshat who kills other people's dreams.)

Hit me up, I would be happy to pair with you.

For many years I have had folks surprised when I mention that I have never had a FB, IG, SC, or TT account. Some have asked me why.

I do not think I have to answer that any longer.

Learning a new or your first programming language? A nice little program you can write: a router log parser.

If you have a home router that can send a daily log of connections and security alerts, write yourself a tool that reads the log text, parses the lines, and reports summary information on important events.

I am expecting a new router Monday and am prepping to learn a bit of a new (to me) programming language.

Introduction - new server

[#]SoftwareDeveloper during the day to support my #STEM, #boardgame, and #music habits.

I talk a bunch about helping those new to programming and software dev.

No patience for folks being uncool to others that look or live different than they.

Spend a lot of time with #Python #CPlusPlus #SymphonicMetal #Blues #Classical #BrainyHumor #BoardGames

Always interested in meeting cool people. (he/him)
