issue commentrust-lang/cargo
cargo-fix: what kind of things can be fixed?
rust-lang/rust#47888? (Sorry, it looks like this still (!) points to being blocked on rust-lang/rust#53934, which I had done research on and genuinely intended to write an adequate solution, before life events pulled me away from compiler development for many, many months and I lost all my context; if anyone wants to pick it up, I can respond to questions.)

issue commentrust-lang/rust
This line looks suspicious
I agree; that line does look suspicious! (I've self-assigned this because while I've been out of the compiler-development game for a while, and probably still won't be available for a some weeks yet, I wrote the modern form of this lint and should hope to help fix any bugs in it as part of its promotion to a 2021 lint.)

clear blog plan! This is going to be great—I know basically what I want to write. I'm going to want to rewrite the code to not bother with the bitvec crate. Maybe as a standalone file to not even need the rand crate, either? But maybe linking to the full repo (rather than a standalone Gist) is OK?

drafting "Comment on 'Toward a Formal Analysis of Deceptive Signaling'" I know, I'm supposed to be working on "Optimized for Deception", but understanding this material very deeply is a prereq, and making a paper-summary its own post is a good exercise for ensuring that I understand it deeply.

Deceptive Signaling
commit sha e384cb10a49ef7e39d5de112a570f9e9d3095504
"Deceptive Signaling" draft is starting to take a different direction Rather than just "I summarized this-and-such paper" (which is boring), what if I recenter the piece on explaining what's wrong with Fallis and Lewis's "Photuris isn't deceptive" dodge? (Assuming the Skyrms and Barrett paper that I haven't read yet succeeds in explaining prepositional content in signals)
