I guess for me key insights were: anyone who says "it just be like that sometimes" simply hasn't put the requisite effort into it, that my work output and health depend directly on the equipment I have, and that it's okay to take yourself seriously and invest in yourself.

I notice this elsewhere — that things aren't nearly as bad as reported. French administration, driving in Paris, both infamous: turns out? Not that bad! There's rules, a culture, a vibe, but it can be learned, it's solvable. It's not an unquantifiable, anxiety-inducing evil.

I guess it's human nature to complain. No matter their living situation, humans will find something to complain about.

With depression, I don't have that luxury: genuinely starting to believe "everything is shit" is the beginning of the end for me.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

I can't accept that "everything is shit". I accept the bad things, but looking for the good things is a matter of survival for me.

And there is plenty of good. Meds helping, I can see that now. I can't stop everyone else from complaining, but I can feel.. blessed.

@deshipu you're choosing to interpret my words with a specific framing that's clearly different from the one I had when writing them. that's your prerogative!

My other cat (who has a bed beneath my screens, just behind my keyboard), has learned that if he extends a paw onto my keyboard, he gets cuddles and kisses as I beg him to not paw my keyboard.

Our incentives may not be aligned anymore.

@onelson I hear it works pretty well for some folks! Haven't tried it myself (except for the headless version).

@tulpenkiste @argv_minus_one @jakob @mo I don’t think that’s accurate. I asked them to clarify.

@mandarvaze ollama yes for the assistant (although I haven't tried that yet). It's not possible to swap out github copilot right now afaict.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@mandarvaze The setting has existed for longer than the documentation, which was updated in the last few weeks if I remember correctly 😌 I don’t mind answering questions about Zed!

I really dislike that derive macros have to essentially ship their own parser to access some form of AST: introspection would solve that and yeah, we missed out on that rustconf talk + work, didn't we.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

And yeah I understand some proc macros essentially need to be parsers because they extend the syntax or whatever, sure. And I understand API compatibility for an AST is really hard (I studied the proc macro bridge) but that's... such a waste of CPU cycles.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@mgattozzi yeah yep same

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@ENDERZOMBI102 there's already a proc macro bridge! the machinery is there.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@janet mhhH I wonder if cargo --timings reports time spent on proc macro invocations, now that I think about it. (I suspect it doesn't)

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

Speaking of wasting CPU cycles I just learned/remembered that proc macros (just like all build-time deps) are compiled in debug mode by default.

Maybe we could switch to using cranelift with optimizations at some point in the future? Idk.

@chrisbiscardi yes yes yes

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

I had the same issue with at least another crate, the rust doc comments were pretty short and linked to the website heavily, which... I wish I thought about httrack'ing before the flight, but, reader, I didn't.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

In other news, I'm excited to announce that instead of writing a proc macro (I definitely can't off the top of my head + didn't have the right deps offline), I wrote a program that invokes cargo rustdoc, parses its JSON output, and pipes generated code to rustfmt

Because there's no reason gophers should get all the codegen fun!

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@mjk well it's not even a build script, since those slow down compilation a lot too.. it's just a separate crate that generates the sources for another crate. I need to remember to run it manually now and then.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

I'm not even sure this could be a proc macro tbh? Since its output is a macro-by-example. Can proc macros output MBEs?

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@mgattozzi I guess one hard bit is that... I sorta want my proc macro to be stateful? Like.. I'm registering (http2 compliance suite) test cases and then there should be another macro that generates the macro.. that generates rust test cases (against a specific implementation)

it's.. confusing. and I'm not exactly sure how a proc macro crate would keep track of all that.

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Monat

@mgattozzi cargo caching is the thing stopping me from doing that x)

imagine only some invocations get done, or in a different order…
