Not that you should be taking feature requests but there are many of times I've wanted to see the dependency with a toggle of a feature flag on a crate. It'd be neat one could show which of the sub deps have a feature flag that changes the sub-sub deps as well.

I have definitely done `cargo tree | vim -` so that I could "fold"/delete various dependencies I'm not trying to look at. It's still quite cumbersome of course.

Yeah. I definitely had a job at a place writing Python/Javascript and there was a project that was a perfect fit for Rust and was one of the first people to write rust there.

Yeah, I tried to use ROS in 2019 wanting to write components in rust. It's so big and so difficult to administrate, I gave up.

I've not used Bazzite but I use steam on archlinux and then SteamLink on my apple TV (attached to a $30 goodwill TV) and some generic bluetooth controllers. This rube goldberg machine works quite well.

From the ~1 hour I played with the apple container stuff, I was pleased. It worked almost identically to the docker. I think that it's got better support for container-in-container stuff so in theory one might be able to get local macOS CI to work. I'm tempted to give this a crack I don't love go.

I upgraded when this trash came out and then downgraded. From what I can tell, the only real benefit of Tahoe is the apple container (github.com/apple/contai...) being supported first class.

There's also the fact that tokio spawn takes a future that impl's Send docs.rs/tokio/latest..., but JsFuture is !Send - docs.rs/wasm-bindgen...

There's a bunch of rough edges with rust browser stuff. Like, when using (or having a dependency that uses) `tokio::time::Instant::now()` in the browser and find a nice panic as rustc stub's `std::time::Instant::now()` as `unimplemented!`.

Doing this was well worth it. Battery life improved, my 2021 m1 isn't nearly as warm to the touch.

Yeah, I'm spending my evening trying to revert to Sequoia. I regret not finishing setting up samba and time-machine.

My technique is to watch smaller repos for projects I want to build but don't have time (yet) and then do polite drive-by reviews. I've both gotten and given issues that say "This project is awesome!"
