Hey folks,

I'm currently looking for new permanent and remote-only opportunities in Europe.

I'm really willing to get my hands dirty with some Rust. My day job is mostly about TypeScript and NodeJS but I have plenty of projects on my GitHub account you can check github.com/yamafaktory .

Boost really appreciated ❤️ !

Are you comfortable in C but curious about Rust? Have existing tutorials seemed like they don't apply to the sort of low-level work you do?

Learn Rust the Dangerous Way is my unsafe-first introduction to the Rust language -- starting with code with the same gotchas as C, and introducing idiomatic Rust concepts to improve it. It's a few years old now but you might still find it useful. (I keep meaning to update/extend it but life keeps happening!)

Any Rustaceans looking for a challenge want to implement soft-wrap for Helix Editor?

As discussed on Matrix. The default behavior of Kakoune to not line wrap is confusing. Typically I'd appreciate the austere design, where until a newline is encountered, do not wrap. However I ...

I'm experimenting with the #libreoffice SDK to write a small #nextcloud app. I'm using the #cpp API because I want to wrap it in an #Rust #HTTP backend.

It is hard to figure out how to use the API and questions on Stackoverflow are hard to align with the #libreoffice examples. For example, stackoverflow.com/q/62769483 does not really help. I guess you need to be familiar with the API before you will understand it.

@libreoffice, do you have any pointers to become more comfortable with the API?

Libreoffice API (UNO): need to change user's xTextField text

Is there any proper way to change text in the user's created xTextField using C++ UNO? These fields names are com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.User.[FIELD NAME] I tried this before, but it didn't help:

#Rust help requested. I am officially at wits end here.

Please take a look at my source file sdlstate.rs.

I'm getting a borrow checker error E0597 on line 39, indicating that tc does not live long enough. However, looking at the sdl2 sources (via its rust-docs), I don't see how my created texture, t, can possibly still refer to tc, which as far as I'm aware, is the only way this error can be generated under current conditions.

Right now, the only way this code will compile and run correctly is if I manually inject the re-paint code where I invoke f(), which utterly defeats the purpose and benefit of using closures in the first place.

In an attempt to fix this, I've tried:

• Replacing the Cell with RefCell.
• Removing Cell all-together and just using a raw Option type.
• Removing the 'a lifetime annotation.

None of these work, and almost always introduce some manner of errors on their own.

Please help. Thanks.

Hello new followers! I've been bad at hashtags, which are crucial here for discoverability, so here's some of them.

I try to toot interesting things related to #activism about #ClimateChange / #ClimateCrisis / #EarthBreakdown, from the perspective of #degrowth / #ClimateJustice / #sustainability. I'm one tiny part of #ExtinctionRebellion.

I build #FOSS / #OpenSource / #commons and #SmallTech using #rust and will write more about that soon.

Heads up: phosh-osk-stub moved out of #phosh's repo and to: gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-… as it acquired more and more cruft while debugging some (now fixed) touch input related issues in #gtk 4.

Mostly mentioning it here since some distros (such as #debian) used it in the past on architectures that had trouble building #rust to fulfill session dependencies (which is not an issue anymore nowadays) so it can safely be dropped.
