git-snap, Async Rust, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Sat 18 Jun 2022

git-snap

git snap creates a commit that includes most local changes on a user- and machine-specific snapshots branch. It doesn't ask for a commit message. It also doesn't touch the working tree, saves and restores the index, and switches back to the branch that was checked out before running git snap. In other words, everything looks the same as before after running git snap, but your changes are safely stored by Git and can be pushed to a remote for redundancy or sharing. This is in contrast to stashes.

Async Rust: What is a runtime?

Rust does not provide the execution context required to execute Futures and Streams. This execution context is called a runtime. You can't run an async Rust program without a runtime.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.

In the evening Alice, Adam, and I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I liked the movie and give it a 7 out of 10.
