Each time I create something great, I fear it was a fluke and I'm never going to make anything good again. #aprilTruthsDay

For those who are interested, I'm going to be moving to Mastodon. I'm @worldnamer@dice.camp.
So I let my domain name lapse (oops) and now someone else owns it so would be best to avoid for now. TBH, I've been feeling like changing my online name, as I don't feel as strong a connection to this one these days.

I've been doing a bit of programming with Rust and I have to say I don't immediately hate it. The object oriented features do feel clunky, almost compulsively so, but I've done enough C to not immediately be turned off by their almost compulsive avoidance of classes.

All the critical libraries seem to be there - Postgres drivers, Date and Time manipulation, HTTP clients, and more. There are GUI packages out there, such as FLTK or GTK - but windowing systems are the MOST OS specific part of a program, so grain of salt there.

Looking forward to seeing what I can learn. This might become my command-line tool language of choice. The only problem with that right now is the amazingly large binaries that the default settings produce. Gotta learn how to get those down from their half-meg starting point.
It's not super often that programming surprises me these days - I'm generally pretty jaded. But uh. Yeah, this did. (For the uninitiated, the OS might change something in the middle of examining it, and might return info that's a mix of both before and after modification.)

And no, I am not surprised that the filesystem doesn't block but I AM surprised that stat's not an atomic operation. I am fairly ignorant of how these lowest level functions actually work, however.

In case it seems "obvious" to someone that stat could return inconsistent, data, I point to the following comment from Stack Overflow, solidly upvoted and accepted as the correct answer.

There are certainly worse views to have at work.

With @nicolejleboeuf, we have driven approximately 666 miles on today's journey, which feels appropriate given that the temperature has been above 100° almost all day.

There is no more damning fact about the Mac touch bar than this: when it crashes, nothing detects the error state, and your touch bar just freezes. The complete lack of attention to UX is flustering from Apple.

I just had a lovely lunch with @nicolejleboeuf and @Avedaggio and it was the most normal thing I've done in the past year.

Another evening where @dominos stole from me, and my car got booted by parking vultures as well. Hooray.
