I knew that shell files, especially in build systems can get hard to read, but this was absolutely painful to look at from start to finish, even with the very helpful explanations in between. Of course the obfuscation is mostly done by design in this case.

OpenSuse Slowroll does pretty much that, a slightly delayed rolling release.

I don't think there is a good way of having references within the same struct, but you could store reference counted matches:

matches: Vec<Rc<Match>>,
players: HashMap<String, Rc<Match>>,

You would still have to make sure that the players map is updated, maybe weak references are useful there.

Maybe you could also consider storing the players of a match in the match itself, not outside.

If there won't be too many different plugins, maybe having a feature for each plugin would work. Then you could use --features=... when compiling to select the plugins you need.

While reading the question I thought: "That's not how Watts work", but then this "answer" hit...

Cat by C418 is literally the only piece in the list I recognize.

I like to look at Issues and Pull Requests on Github if a crate wasn't updated for multiple years. If there are already problems like unsoundness, deprecation, or breaking bugs mentioned with no reaction shown by the maintainer, that is a good sign to look elsewhere instead. If everything seems fine and the crate isn't very complex or security-critical, it is probably not an issue.

Why does it say "Texas" on it 6 times?

Like someone noted in the vimtex issue you linked, I use UltiSnips together with snippet definitions from vim-snippets, which works pretty well with the begin snippet. vim-snippets includes a bunch more snippets too which I find quite useful, particularly for LaTeX. I don't know the vsnip plugins you mentioned but they can probably do the same.

That's GDPR coming through.

I am also very interested in seeing what the next generation of Rust-inspired languages will look like, and not because I am dissatisfied with Rust today. Rust has significantly raised the bar of how a good programming needs to work and any new language in the systems programming area (and beyond) will inevitably be compared to it.

Unixstickers is great. If the $1 pack has what you're looking for, that's unbeatable value right there.

I really like kitty. It is fast and simple but gives me all the features I would want.

Obviously two of the literally magical free energy synthesizers.

I assume you're referring to this. That was such a scary video.

...but big gaps remain across the board.

Good progress, but let's keep going, especially in those states that still have a long way to catch up.

This is not cool of Twitter.

Being active is probably most important.

Maybe it would be possible to get a link into a "This Week in Rust"?

Where are these circles coming from!?

That commonwealth is called the EU today and, along with NATO, is the reason why these countries are in a comparitively safer position. It would be much riskier for Russia to invade there.
