In #rust / #rustlang I have a #HTTP endpoint (#actix) , where for a given query, it fetches #JWT from the given parameter (URLS) and validates, puts some logic and returns the result. How to write unittest for this care in rust?

Euphonica is a new(ish) Rust-based MPD frontend for Linux with 'bling' as a key feature. It's currently in beta, but fans of flashy music players will want to keep an eye on this.

Just released 0.3.3 of kv-downloader.

This is a little cross-platform command line utility I wrote in rust which automates downloading your purchased tracks from karaoke-version.

I tried loco.rs

I will not be trying loco.rs again, unfortunately.

Good morning.

When we got home, the grass was nearly knee-high in places. I mowed a bit yesterday evening, but most of it is still waiting for me. Funny thing is, all I really felt like doing was sitting with my feet up—I had to nudge myself just to tackle the few small tasks I managed.

I keep telling my wife we need a staff: perhaps a butler named Giles, a maid named Hazel, and a groundskeeper named George. Hmm… does the butler double as a chauffeur? Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you...

But here on earth, I’ll load the gas cans into the truck, and Charlie and I will head out to fill them up this morning. We were only gone 11 days—confirmed by the vet’s bill for boarding.

Does #Rust have any kind of property syntax like C# / Objective-C (or that you can fudge with proxies in C++), so I can write a.property = value and have a method called to set the property?

I have no sympathy for people who don't CI their MSRV, but I _do_ have sympathy for people who think they're CI'ing their MSRV, but due to the inscrutability of Github CI actions, have actually been building with latest-stable the whole time. (Not naming the project in question because, you know, sympathy.) #rust #rustLang #SoftwareSupplyChains

Every time I read an article about shortcoming of a tool, I wonder how much of that is ego and how much of it is an actual shortcoming?

Maybe it's a sign my perfectionism is going down, but different tools being imperfect in different ways does not make them bad or less useful?

Like, I just read an article about the #rust borrowchecker not being able to prove a valid program because it doesn't look 'through' functions. And this making it 'worse' in user experience.

And this feels fairly off to me. Sure the checker could try to do whatever you wish it did. But it doesn't, and so you have to adapt.

Like, not everything needs to fit what you expect from a tool I think.

It is fair to not use that tool (i.e. Rust) if you find that annoying, but I struggle hard with this mindset. Where rather than adapting to use a tool to its fullest, people just bang their head against it repeatedly saying "look how bad it is".
