Hmm, that sounds exactly like my setup. Weird.

I did have the file created, with {} inside (empty Nix expression). If I git add it, it works as well:

And yeah, I understand that it’s supposed to be a stacktrace, but other error messages look similarly horrendous and I can often only try to guess what’s wrong by reading the stacktrace top-to-bottom, so I’ve somewhat gotten used to doing that.

But good to know that these terrible error messages might be a problem with my system. Thanks!

Hmm, that’s interesting. For me, it looks like this:

I actually thought, it said somewhere in there, that the file isn’t staged, but apparently not even that (anymore?).

You don’t happen to be using Lix or something, do you? I’ve heard that it’s supposed to have better error messages, but I was never sure how much better it might be…

Edit: Perhaps I should add that those code locations it shows, are not from my code. Only the modules/terminal/new_file.nix in the second-last line is relevant.

I thought, you posted about the warning, because that’s actually easier to see than the error. Because yeah, it does say what you posted, but it’s in the middle of like 30 lines of other stuff. When I forget to stage a new file, it almost always takes me 5+ seconds to spot what the problem is. 🥲

Unfortunately, that shows up even when you’ve just modified an existing file, which is not a problem for it.

And which also happens to be the state my repo is in basically all the time, because I’ll change some setting, then see if it works like I want it to before making a commit…

Yeah, I was gonna say, that might be the root cause.

In the vast majority of cases, you want Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>, but folks tend to leave out the Send + Sync, because it looks like additional complexity to them, and because it doesn’t cause problems when they’re not doing async/await.
It’s better to define a type alias, if you don’t want that long type name everywhere.

Nice, that’s like the meme:

Look at how quickly AI put up a webpage for me: http://127.0.0.1/index.html

Wait, do they now have spam bots going around on random PRs to post advertisements?

Servo company? It’s an open-source project underneath the Linux Foundation. The Servo Shell source code seems to be here: https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/main/ports/servoshell
It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to compile it yourself, if you really want it.

However, you have to mind that it’s damn near impossible to build a browser from scratch that supports the majority of web standards at this point. Servo does not do so. Most webpages will not be usable on it.
That’s the reason why they don’t care to provide a general-purpose browser interface. Because Servo is only useful at this point when only a specific webpage or specific set of webpages needs to be displayed.
So, generally when it’s embedded into hardware or into a software application, where the user does not have a URL bar to type arbitrary addresses into, and where the webpage to display can be specifically crafted for Servo.

I’m not much of a fan of Debian, but in your position would still recommend it. You’ll have enough to learn about from just using it as a server. You can learn about potential advantages of other distros later…

Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler#Health

Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it’s highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he’s slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

Con- 🤔

I, uh, haven’t yet. 😅

I’m not sure, what it’s called in English. In German, we have the sexy term “Lendenwirbelsäulenblockade” for it.
The internet tells me that it might be a “lumbar vertebral subluxation” in English, although that Wikipedia article sounds a lot more like quackery than my German impression of it. It might also be a “lumbar blockage”…?

But basically, one of the many joints in the spine for some reason loses its ability to move. And often times, the solution is to apply a bit of force, to get it unstuck. You *should* talk to a professional about this, or at least a chiropractor, because force won’t always be the correct solution.
But yeah, if you ignore those safety instructions, what you can do, is to slowly move your back into the position that the right cat is in (while on your knees and hands). Then slowly arch your back into the other direction. At some point, you might hear a pop, as the joint regains its ability to move and then that’s that.

I have actually managed to unfuck my back at some point, by doing a motion like the cat on the right. 🥴

The photo looks like an art piece, too…

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn’t bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

This story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn’t have the dino in its official branding, but it’s now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them “removing” the dino than it was worth.
