@kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon fwiw, I’ve been really enjoying this color e-ink tablet (Boox Tab Ultra C) for comics, been eating lunch out on my deck and reading an issue most weekdays
@kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon I will say I justified it thanks to work partly reimbursing it as a “learning” expense, because I also use it for books & papers
@andreaslindholm @kusuriya @peachfront @agt @bookstodon yeah, this thing runs android, so kindle & epub readers work, along with all the digital comic stores & readers
re: threads, brands gone wild
@soypunk I oscillate between imagining that this poster does & does not know what they posted
@alx That's a nice keycap set for that HHKB2!
A portrait of ADHD: I made my morning espresso. I cleaned up. I did not drink the espresso. I discovered it just now, 2 1/2 hours later
@alx (i may have said this before 🤔deja vu)
@alx Oh here's my deja vu 😅 https://hackers.town/@lmorchard/110378883648551245
@reconbot Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it! I'm not the absolute best barrista and it took me about 15 years to accumulate all the stuff, but I use it every morning
@Configures Heh, yeah, I still drank it. Might have been better on ice but I needed the caffeine
@mhoye +1 on the safety razor! About 15 years ago, I got a decent one and 2 boxes of blades for $70 altogether and have yet to run out
@mhoye was also thinking this exactly when I recalled that I spent $70 rather than $7 for a pack of disposables
Every now and then I forget about "Stars" by Hum and then I stumble on it again and fall down a steep vortex to 1995
@vertigo @thegibson The Napster shit-fit is about when I stopped caring at all about Metallica.
Also, more recent karma ensued where Metallica themselves playing their own music were muted on a live Twitch stream and replaced with twinkly hold music
Also I think more folks need to know about Babes in Toyland
@mc Oh dang, I haven't heard "Sunshine" in a very long time!
@erosdiscordia whooosh goes the vortex!
So, this is a Rust compiler error that's had me head-scratching for awhile. Assuming there's just something I'm missing as a noob:
I have a variable typed as serde_json::Value - but when I try to call deserialize, the compiler thinks it's an instance of tera::Value and that it's missing the deserialize method.
Googling around to see if there's some magic import incantation I'm missing
Using serde_json::from_value() seems to do the needful here, so 🤷♂️ I'll use that. But, I clearly misunderstand something about that deserialize method
@onelson Yeah, a weird thing I'm doing here and snipped out for the screenshot is that I first store the JSON as-is into a DB column before trying to deserialize to a more specific type.
(Mainly because my type isn't particularly exhaustive and I want to store the original JSON data to do more interesting things with later)
@onelson I'm pretty much assuming everything I'm doing is slightly wrong and am surprised when it finally compiles after I've pinballed off all the errors heh
@onelson Heh, well, that's reassuring because 1) try to do something, 2) make compiler happy is exactly my current stumbling pattern. And the program is indeed doing the things, so I guess success?
@onelson Oh, I have not seen todo()! I'll have to poke at that
