For my own Rust project I require myself to have a comment for every unwrap call that explains why that unwrap will never panic. For everything else I let the function return an error, with help of the anyhow crate and error contexts.

Perhaps someone on your inatance was last subscribed to it 2 years ago. When you subscribe, your instance doesn’t tend to fetch older posts, only posts made after subscribing.

Be careful, the actual logging can happen at a later time, and because the log function may take a reference to the value, if you modify r it may show the modified version of r in the logging instead of the original r.

Using -F with tail is even better than -f because it handles files getting truncated or getting created.

Exactly! This is why the server should just send a clear error message. 99% of the time the client just wants to show the error message to the end user, and not have to wrangle all kinds of normalized data into one.

This looks so over-engineered. Most of the time you only need an error message. Make the message clear enough so that it can be shown to the end user.

Well better late than never.

If knitting/crochet is not metal enough for you, make chainmail instead! It’s so easy that you can let your mind wander while doing it. So it basically doubles as active meditation!

Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now

Your parents sound like proper cunts. Fuck em.
