In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

This is something that bugs me too. Its not completely broken but there are a lot of small issues assuming you can even get the game to run at all

Found them!

Looks like something from HP’s lab.

Hopefully something that gets cut for the final release 😂

Wow! This is the first I heard of this so I looked it up.

According to this article it looks like you need a particular build thats not in the nightly mainline, and its very experimental.

Still, its exciting to see them work on this! I use Tree Style Tabs with custom userchrome.css, but it is a bit fragile. Native vertical tabs would be great!

Zellij is fantastic! I’ve had it installed on all my machines for a while now and it works great.

The best part is that the UI is discoverable and pretty intuitive. I no longer have to look up the seldom used tmux key chords I could never remember.

Sounds fun! I assume you’re read the Async Book?

Finally some positivity around async Rust!

I write a lot of embedded C for a living, and can’t wait for the ecosystem to get better so I can switch to Rust. Threading always starts simple. All I need is to spawn a thread and wait for a message on a queue. Then requirements change and I’m waiting on multiple messages from multiple other threads and suddenly I’m writing yet another state machine that async Rust would write for me.

I also wish I had “coloured” functions in my embedded code. Often times it’s not even documented if a function blocks or not, and sometimes the behaviour changes depending on compile time configuration (blocking, or interrupt driven, or DMA, etc.).

Async Rust certainly has it’s complexity too, but at least to my brain it would make a lot of my code much simpler.

I need to find some time to really dig into Embassy one of these days.

Beatings will continue until morale improves

Can you elaborate on what you mean that Matrix is a closed protocol? The spec is open and there are several server and clients to choose from.
