I had this dream or maybe it was reality?

I was sitting down at this waterfall in the middle of the Adirondack wilderness, watching the ever so fascinating waves flow and the fluttering leaves on the trees, all alone.

I was listening to the Grateful Dead’s Dire Wolf, singing along, Please don’t murder me! I was giggling. A man stood looking over from the ledge, wondering if I was just very high or was suffering from schizophrenia. But I didn’t care, he walked away and I was giggling thinking about how much fun I’m having with old Jerry Garcia record.

The more I learn about Rust, the more I like about it’s syntax and it’s various paradigms. Reminds me of the best of C, Python, modern Javascript, and R. And not a lot of the ugly of those languages.

That said, some of the borrowing / ownership model is a bit weird in Rust. Not unlike shallow vs deep copies in Python. But maybe when I learn more it will be all groovy.

Judge unseals new evidence about Trump’s actions around Jan. 6 Capitol Hill attack : NPR

In a newly unsealed court filing, special counsel Jack Smith provides the most detailed picture yet of his criminal case against Donald Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and why the former president isn't immune from prosecution.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the case, released the filing, with minor redactions, on Wednesday.

The special counsel uses the 165-page document to make his case that Trump's actions around the election were made in a private capacity and not in his official role as president.

The filing comes after the Supreme Court ruled this summer that presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts while in office, but not for unofficial acts as a candidate or a private citizen.
