A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
from rust-lang.org
Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!
actix-web
Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It’s modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It’s also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!
Bevy
Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It’s incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!
Tokio
The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!
Serde
Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!
SQLx
SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!
Reqwest
A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It’s also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!
And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!
Have an amazing week, everyone!

late night anxiety posting
Ah, if only there was reliable feedback you could use to gauge how a social thing is going… Loprazolam I miss you…
I know that’s way too literal and maybe gamified a way to look at talking to people, like it’s not a system with rules, not really, even though neurotypicals say it is. But while I’ve been pretty content just going at it and yapping with people, there are definitely times where a thing happens and I desperately wish I could tell if it’s the result of me being a huge fuckup or not.
Sometimes you just get left with nothing to go on, which is awkward and also leaves me wide awake at 7am combing over the same couple of conversations repeatedly trying to figure out if I did something stupid, which is extremely nerve wrecking seriously stop please.
Has anyone figured out how to git gud at not having anxious breakdowns like this, without needing to be medicated or whatever?
It’s learned and certainly not going to be an overnight fix. Just continuously having conversations and getting better. At least that is what worked for me. Though my ex did always say I was extroverted even though I’m AuDHD, so maybe it was a little more natural. Taking your mind off of the worrying of whether or not you’re doing something wrong and just enjoying your company always helps too.
As for the thoughts, just find ways to distract yourself and let the thoughts slide away. Sooner or later, not dwelling on them will become second nature.
For the record, this is all personal experience. Everyone is different. You do you at the end of the day.
I mean I can agree that it gets better with time/experience and that’s always good to remember… Also being extroverted and AuDHD is rad tbh.
The trouble I have, I guess, is that I can distract myself pretty well during the day, but when it’s time for bed I end up laying awake, eyes closed, brain immovably focused on whatever anxiety thing I just wanna go to sleeeep… I geeet it brain, you decided I fucked up. Can I sleep now?
I have a lot of brain related sleep issues like this and Idrk what to do about em :/
That’s a good point and a problem I’ve had in the past. What I’ve done to resolve this, personally, is to turn on my TV with the sleep timer, and put on something calm that can eat my attention, but not to the point where it’ll keep me awake. The type of videos that work for me are Japanese bakery videos. Might try something like that.
not sure if this is anything but could help
I have been nervous about social situations for a while for the exact reason you said: I never know how it’s going. I am kinda always second guessing myself and what I find is that my mind is just spitting these sort of anxious thoughts out really quickly. So for me there is value in forcing my brain to slow down, sometimes it’s me distracting myself and sometimes it’s me sitting still trying to just observe the nasty thoughts. When they’re slower, I recognize what for me is essentially a script of self-hatred. Not really any organic or in-the-moment thoughts.
So, I tell myself that I’m not good but I don’t even really believe that when I beat myself up. And it’s the same kind of thing with mistakes. I literally keep thinking about dumb shit from 2019, and even though I have the insight to reflect, I am still trapped in wondering if I did something stupid. There’s this recognition more and more that my brain is using this like a chew toy, I’m making myself anxious for fun!
I am often caught in a literal way of relating to people! I’m currently trying to talk myself out of there being a “right number of times” to reach out during a week or “does this warrant texting someone”. Because I’m so caught up on these things that I just don’t text. I want to be better connected, and that desire is starting to outgrow my fear of saying something stupid.
Again, not sure if this is anything, but I relate very much to your comment
A+ comment, I completely relate to this. I think there’s a grain of truth to this:
my brain is using this like a chew toy, I’m making myself anxious for fun!
for me too, but my current theory is that being miserable is the easiest thing in the world. I want more than that, though, so I fight.

Oh for sure, I’ve faced misery as a default on and off for a long time. I have to work to be happy, but when I get there it feels like it was worth it.
oh waow

Why would the brain do this, it causes us distress so surely we should not?
But for me, at this point I get more anxious about ambiguity than anything else. There are situations where it’s like, if I could even tell clear-cut whether it was my fault, I could deal with it better. I tend to get huge spikes of anxiety when there’s no sensory input, socially, like I don’t get any feedback…

This is awesome, love to see it. There is no “right number of times” for anything social related! Message people, cause problems ✨ For me it is also hard because, uh I genuinely annoy people a lot of the time, literally I talk too much. That might sound like an eyerolling anxiety self hate thing, but I talk at extreme lengths to the point people have just quit in the past. So Idk, I just wish I could go to bed without my brain wondering if I’ve fucked up, not sure…

Same same… Its so difficult. The ambiguity is killer…

YES. I am working on internalising this.
Brains are confusing

I relate to this so much, and I find that I have to rely on myself to interpret things. Which is, like, terrifying, because if I misread things I might feel super embarrassed. I’m very much used to relying on someone else’s opinions

Sadly I am pretty much the opposite, I am quiet to the point that I can’t engage and others don’t know how and neither do I. It’s frustrating because I can’t hate myself but also, hot damn I would like to change this about myself. I wish I had better insight for this specifically
I smoke weed, lie awake and distract myself knowing that tomorrow the anxiety will probably be a bit less bad. I wish I knew of any better remedies
Sorry I still haven’t been to the weedstore since we last spoke been busy but I try to keep that in mind
Disidentifying from my thoughts has helped. It leaves me wanting something to identify with and finding nothing, but I’ll be fine. There is a mechanism that keeps catching RSD in the act and disengaging.
Btw this is mindfulness but whole-er. I extrapolate from my experience and what I’ve heard that other autists would see through the absurd contradiction in the mainstream suggestion that some thoughts belong to the self and others do not.
Insight practices
https://www.mctb.org/ https://youtu.be/GYA*removed*gbbM (I pirated this guy’s book on Anna’s archive) I also listened to a lot of Revolutionary Left Radio on Buddhism. I have read way to much about Buddhism but honestly it’s not necessary. I took “thoughts aren’t you” seriously first when Breht explained his OCD. I turned it into an OCD thing crushing every thought that implied it was me due to black and white thinking. Now I can see through that mechanism as also not me and my relationship to thoughts is better.
Essentially pay attention in daily life to the three characteristics of all things: impermanence, non-self, and suffering. Pay attention to bare sensations stripped of ideas imposed upon them (though those can also be analyzed with the senses). Pay attention to that which appears to be “you” conscious that it can’t be you because it is temporary and you cannot see yourself temporarily.
Also gotta recommend daily vipassana and nothing/open awareness meditation.
There are some risks which are mentioned in the sources but if you’re like me you have more to gain than lose. There is a “safer” slower route going concentration first, but with ADHD insight first is probably better (sense/attention sensitivity is a bonus tbh). If you awaken the after glow can help you actually learn the concentration stuff, which is cool.
