Hi all, let me offer a new #introduction as I return to Mastodon after a long absence. I've switched to @mjb as my primary account (@mjb as backup).

D'oh! I set RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN="nightly" explicitly in .bashrc when I first installed #rust weeks ago. Of course, this takes precedence over the rustup-toolchain file. A self-inflicted wound by this newbie being too clever by half!
Any rustaceans available to help a newbie resolve #rust `cargo +nightly build` errors for a project using external crates with unstable features?
Yay! My first #rust refactoring PR has been accepted. Baby steps. Now onto something bigger. 😃
Yay! Finished with the Rust Book and I'm now about to begin my first #rust starter project: resolving an issue on the uuid crate, as suggested to me by one of its maintainers. 😄
Now, if only I could understand its overly terse description to figure out what's needed. 😕

Nearly finished studying the #rust book again, 6mo later, including most of the exercises this time. I have just the final project to complete: writing a multi-threaded web server.
Whalebird is a nice Mastodon app. I prefer the Slack-like interface focused more on a single tab rather than the multi-column layout of the browser interface. The multi-account feature is good, too.

I'm back online after a long hiatus to see what's up with Mastodon and discovered a new (to me, anyways) feature to filter posts by language. I'd love to reduce traffic on the public stream (a pause feature would be nice, too, 'cuz I just can't keep up!) but I don't see any difference when I filter by language. Does this feature work? Is it only for the Home stream?
