ten pounds of tufte books behind me (that’s at least three books) and here i am learning data visualization the same way i learn everything else: over-caffeinated in the middle of the night hacking at everything with a machete

Posted because I looked up at the graph and realized it would tell a more helpful story if I adjusted some rendering options.

Just found out that a meeting which was ~6 hours from now has been rescheduled to ~4 hours from now.

Gonna see what sleep I can get, and TBH only casually curious how well my filter’s gonna work tomorrow.

Random thought, not a deep observation: Rust sure seems to lean a lot on significant punctuation. Good for conciseness, a bit confusing for a novice to parse.

Noted while learning that your fmt::Display implementation shouldn’t have a trailing semi-colon.

@thegibson I find them grainy and tasteless despite the appealing shine. Let us find some better apples.

@thegibson Lucky me, most of my idols are dead already. Makes my job easier.

@thegibson if they were a proper idol they would’ve killed me first. Serves ’em right.

@thegibson well hell the real burden on any master should be when the pupil doesn’t surpass them eventually.
