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.

Public performance eats art.
True. 

Fame doesn’t rub off.
Also True.

Fame doesn’t always pay the bills.
Too True.

This industry doesn’t owe you a living, and it doesn’t pay you to dwell on the past.
Very True.

Most of the people in this industry are garage bands wondering why they’re not the Rolling Stones.
So Very Very True.

Don’t get into comics to get rich. Don’t get into comics for fame. Don’t get into comics for any reason except to make comics.

Fame and money are never a guarantee in the arts, no matter who you are or what you create.

Making your comic is about the truth of your love for the art.

Not about fame. Not about money.

If the audience comes, then yay.

If the audience doesn’t come, you made a comic.

And that’s the hard truth that makes you stronger.
