GIMP is huge tool that I certainly haven't mastered, but it's so useful to have around. I used it this week to convert images from obscure formats to common ones. It's a great swiss army knife and runs everywhere.

Experimenting with syntax highlighting for difftastic. I'm trying hard to stay within the limited terminal colours. It works everywhere and requires no detection of terminal capabilities or theme. It's a very limited palette though. Using bold for keywords saves a colour.

I keep getting surprised by .lines() semantics in Rust. "" -> empty "foo" -> one line "foo\n" -> one line "foo\nbar" -> two lines I end up using .split('\n') everywhere instead, but .lines() is so convenient it feels like a footgun.
