@eevee these subtle changes happen in tiny libraries multiple steps of transience down the tree and it breaks everything
@eevee many of the problems revolve around the lockfile secretly locking old versions of derive macro crates when trying to upgrade dependencies, and subtle api changes in the standard library over the years, or awkwardness surrounding the use of semver, but i've also rarely had situations where i just flat out cannot compile an entirely untouched crate
Nonbinary-ness is strange, changing, and difficult to categorize just like the most wonderful things in this universe.
Embrace the beautiful strangeness of yourself and you will not fear standing out or fitting in.
it's also increasingly feeling like the Node style approach to dependencies is creating untenable dependency trees (surprising nobody) that balloon compile times and maintenance cost to ridiculous scale.
my oldest rust project is over 4 years old and the compiler breaks it every few months. if I were to compile it today, it would still take around 6 minutes to compile everything, if I miraculously got all the dependency versions lined up to compile under the current compiler.
this is a deeply frustrating aspect of working with Rust and it makes me scared of writing anything long term in it anymore. you really do just have to pin specific versions of the compiler to keep the lights on.

“Move fast and break things” is an abomination if your goal is to create a healthy society.
This is the least of what is written here that should be heard, from yet another voice telling us things that we all know but do too little about.
h/t @ceejbot for bringing it over from twitter for me to see.

Racism, Joe Biden, politics
Someone posted a thing Joe Biden just said and I could have sworn it was from 1979, but it was from tonight. They asked him about racial inequality in schools and he said black parents need to play the record player at night so kids hear more words. The record player. September 12, 2019.
This is a mind that hadn't absorbed anything since Smokey and the Bandit was in theaters.
