       Accidentally installed two copies of some internal app `/Applications/Foo.app` and `/Applications/Foo 2.app` and now whenever I drag one of them to the trash, the other one stops working.#enterpriseSoftware #macOS #macAppsByWindowsProgrammers

       @niconiconi @lanodan @not2b > shell scripts are inherently sequentialFunny you should say that...https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi22/presentation/kallasThis research group wrote a JIT(!) for bash(!!) that also automatically parallelizes the code (!!!)

       @mcc I'm mostly fine with rust error handling when it's just this error and .into()? all over the place, but then I'm forced to interact with some Option<Result<T>> async monstrosity or handle an io::Error and I just...

       @mcc oh I thought of another thing that is unpleasant: impl Iterator<Item = Box<dyn Error> > is like never good enough when I want to walk a chain of errors.

       @mcc yeah this comes up when you have some extra trait that all of your own errors implement and you want to walk through a chain of causes and do your special trait things and the std Error trait only gives you an impl Error not an impl Error + YourTrait miette (and I think anyhow) end up basically making their own traits have a whole duplicated traversal thing for this exact reason.I don't have a solution, but the status quo is sad

       @mcc I didn't mean to imply that miette solves my particular problem (walk a chain of types that implement Error/Diagnostic and do some special other trait to them).I think std should do two things: 1. Provide building blocks for other crates to build frameworks2. Provide a lingua franca so that creates that use different frameworks can still interoperate. Things like async feel like they strike this balance much more deliberately. Whereas the std Error trait feels more haphazard
