Beggining to learn #Rust

Original: https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/112484469834714490

Playing around with #Rust basics, because I wanted a systems language under my belt. and because @mandarvaze’s on a tear with his inspiring TILs on Rust (https://microblog.desipenguin.com/tags/rust/)

My main insight, *this* is the language for me. hopefully it’ll stick around for a while.

(mostly because sane error messages!

and because it’s easier for me with my Python mental model to learn rust than C. And because my brief courtship with C kinda scared me a bit.)

#Emacs #OrgMode friends! help!

I need a way to exclude files containing .sync-conflict in their name from Org Agenda.
My org setup is such that it reads all the files in a folder.

Context & Details:

Org mode reads my syncbox folder for the agenda.
(syncbox syncs with beorg on the phone via syncthing, so I can see and execute on all my stuff through out the day)
files are open on both the desktop and the phone, and every once in a while syncthing creates a -sync.conflict file and now i have two sets of everything (sometimes 3) (for e.g. tasks.org conflicts and i get, tasks.sync-conflict-20240516-101335.2TWENY.org and tasks.sync-conflict-20240408-041556.2TWENY.org)
for more context, the desktop needs to reigns supreme. i don’t care about the phone. once in a while i go delete the conflicting files and then all is well
i tried hacking org-agenda-file-regexp , but wasn’t successful at asking it to ingore them.

is there a way I can tell org to ignore, files with a certain pattern in my org-agenda directory?

The key to keep in mind is this: if you think it’s important enough—and you can’t see a better path—then you need to put yourself out there again. And again. And again.
