The metro lines in Moscow seemed fast while the monorail and the Aeroexpress seemed to be slower than necessary. But nothing is better than a train that easily goes 130km/h away from Düsseldorf towards Cologne!

I have to say, -15°C in Moscow has not been too bad. I've even enjoyed walking around! So, Sweden, being your worst next year

Measuring the success of a conference: it's the third day of RustRush where I'm still awake at around 2am.

My spelling has degraded slightly since switching from Safari to Firefox. For months, I couldn't say why. I have now enabled the spellchecker in Firefox.

Yes, I'm proud if myself.

When I got an Android phone earlier this year, I also switched to Firefox on both Android and macOS. It's not perfect, but still really good. Not sure how to tell people they should give it a try to preserver the open web without starting a discussion I don't want to have, though.

Just release quicli 0.4 in time for #rustlang 2018. Ah, the pleasure of removing code!

Somehow I find myself with a setup where documentation includes parts of code files so that the files themselves exist as runnable examples somwhere. Again.

Back in Cologne. First order of business: buy Dutch fries to go with jopi dip

@lislis guten Morgen!

I'm at that stage where I consider redoing my slide setup instead of writing more slides (the only slides missing are the ones with the goode examples and that show the actual content)

I'll be in

- Rome at https://rome.rustfest.eu/ on Nov 23-28
- Cologne at https://rust.cologne/ on Dec 5
- Moscow at https://rustrush.ru/ on Dec 14-17

I kinda want to continue to work on that but the use cases are quite limited…

I finally sat down to write about that ultra-fast mega-compact hyper-specialized static file server I made: https://deterministic.space/serve-archived-static-files-over-http.html

Very much looking forward to seeing you at RustFest in Rome! https://rome.rustfest.eu/sessions/declarative-programming-in-rust

wanted to explain quickcheck to a coworker. what's a good tutorial for someone who knows ruby?

I know of https://docs.rs/proptest (which is suuuuper good) but it's hard to parse new language syntax and semantics along with a new concept

There are two Rust things I'd really like to dive into next:
- Understanding how to and then writing a `concurrent_map(limit, closure)` adaptor, and
- understanding how it works and then contributing to rust-analyzer
(sadly, that's both things I'd need way more time and probably also a mentor for)
