But I'm running into another challenge, I'm going to want the furthest into the string that the parse has failed, and I can't do relative comparisons on Chars objects, just .eq(), so I think I need to additionally track how many characters I think I've read. Sigh.

But I'm totally not sure. And it doesn't work if I pull the <'a> after "matches".

I think I want a way to guarantee that this "Chars" points to the same buffer as another "Chars", and I'm doing that by giving them the same lifetime as the object which is processing them, which lets me compile, but feels like I'm not getting this right.
C/C++ coders who've learned to love the Rust language: what was your path there? I'm finding that a lot of the ways I'd like to express, for instance, a parser aren't super convenient to do so, and I'm trying to figure out how to think in the sort of data structures that Rust encourages, while working in idioms that are going to be relatively performant (like I *think* that Char iterators to track the parsed location, rather than using indices, is a good idea unless I want t odo my own UTF-8).

This prompt engineering is bullshit. We need more lackadaisical engineering.
Mad props to the person speeding around the corner at Mountain View and 6th who had the gall to honk as they swung into oncoming traffic's lane.

nostr:npub19s3c5slfnfutp0jwnwzhna573pg748pe0qmfyp36usw5txykx5fqm305h7 I was going off of doing a scheduled copy to my Linux server and running a cron job there. It looks like the Android trend is to ever more silo things, and I don't know of any generic scripting.
If you didn't click on my s3 link the other day, and are willing to give me a little feedback on a video introducing a browser/note taker/information organizer/automation/etc tool that we're trying to find the next steps on, I am super grateful for any feedback on this 71 second video:
I realize that RT of the WaPo Michael Cohen was a gift link, but it wasn't tagged with #GiftArticle, so here's the story of a dude who's defense is that he's hopelessly out of touch with modern technology tagged as such....
I'm still not sure what the parade was, but the float theme was gnomes, and we joined as part of the Unicorn Blessing Brigade.

And, it looks like Sonic's figured out the problem and my home network is back up. Just so I can find this outage stuff later.
nostr:npub1dt0460wa0dyschlfr40482zc93sf3nr9w6ff3m32cs5kkq349tkq2m7205 thank you for this thread. My horizons aren't super broad, but in a conversation this morning about supply chains, this made me realize that I have been to Hong Kong, where a lot of the supply chain is, in fact, local.

Sigh.

Lesson from tonight: proactively vary the energy. Bring the energy back down while the audience is amped, don't wait for them to crash.
But damn it's fun to call square dance when the floor is moving flat out and the energy is way up.
And I got a full two and a half hours out of them.
