What are you working on this week? (Okt. 20, 2024)

I've just started learning Rust, so I've been working through The Book and Rust by Example to get familiarity with the language before diving into any projects. Coming from a C++ background, I've been surprised at how similar and simultaneously completely different Rust is from C++, and I've run into a lot of things that seemed completely bizzare to me (like the whole immutable variable default and shadowing) that I initially disliked until I looked into the reasoning and became wholly on board with the systems.

I'm planning on developing a cute little pet project for a relativistic/geometric time system, where the current time is determined not by arbitrary time zones but coordinates on the earth. I'll probably post some updates once I start working on it ^͜

I have a small CLI to create and manage note files. This week, I added a list command, which just spits out the notes ordered by date, to help me reopen previously created notes.

You can pass along a flag e.g. --since="3 months ago" or --since="2024-06-01" to only open files created in that time range. I used the human-date-parser crate for that.

Not yet entirely happy, as I would've liked to support --since="June" and --since="2024". Will need to see, if I separately implement those.
