My shower has its own favorite temperature and will slowly readjust itself to it.

I considered the smaller one at first, but decided to take the larger one and use the compression straps to keep it tight when packing a smaller volume. It doesn't feel as bulky as I thought it would at first.
Got myself a proper hiking backpack. An Osprey Exos 58L. Shifting much of the weight to the hips makes a massive difference and my back was very happy!
Also the Swedish classic "glida in på en räkmacka" ((to) slide in on a shrimp sandwich), which basically means to end up somewhere (location, career, situation) without any difficulties. The shrimp sandwich symbolizes a life without difficulties or in some luxury.
Then there's also "halka in på ett bananskal" ((to) slip in on a banana peel), which is similar to the above, but not always favorable and you don't have any plan or preparation. You just winged it or it just happened by accident.
Absolutely, I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. :) I'm just giving a bit of context and perspective from someone who has used it for a while.
Static types aside, the file system has a lot of failure cases, which every language is affected by, and Rust makes them very visible. This can indeed feel like a lot, but it's an intentional feature and makes more sense in larger projects. I guess the feeling may get amplified by the author's style of long form posts with a lot of details.
Error handling in practice contains a lot of "let the caller deal with it", using the ?
operator to pass errors up the call stack. The more verbose options are for when you need to actually handle it.
They interviewed multiple eye witnesses.
To make things worse, that teapot doesn't have a bottom surface.
I'm of course only one single anecdotal sample, but the release cadence has probably been the least of my problems. My experience is that it's fine to not update for quite some time. I have a crate with 1.60 (released about one and a half years ago) as MSRV, which means I run unit tests with that version, as well as stable, beta and nightly. The only pressure to upgrade is that some dependencies are starting to move on. Not that the newer compilers reject my code, not even anything deprecated.
Also, small, frequent releases usually takes away a lot of the drama around upgrading, in my experience. Not the opposite. A handful of changes are easier to deal with than a whole boatload. Both for the one releasing and for the users.
Do you want the background to have looped back to the start after one cycle? If so, you probably have to make it repeat N times more than the foreground, and move by a factor of 1/N in comparison to the foreground. Or put another way, have 1/N times the length. That means that after one cycle, the background has moved a distance of 1/N, but also repeated exactly once.
I hope this makes sense...
I liked this talk on the subject: https://www.deconstructconf.com/2019/dan-abramov-the-wet-codebase
It's a nice explanation of how it's less about code that looks the same or currently performs the same operations, and more about what it means.
It may be possible to use the
Any
trait to "launder" the value by first casting it to&Any
and then downcasting it to the generic type.I haven't tested it, so I may have missed something.
Edit: to be clear, this will not actually let you return multiple types, but let the caller decide which type to expect. I assumed this was your goal.
