Today I learnt that the Travis status site shows the build backlog, if any: https://www.traviscistatus.com/ (see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29567063/how-does-travis-ci-org-throttle-builds/34809448#34809448)

Today I learnt about clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr, which complains about t.clone() on a Rc<Thing>. You write Rc::clone(t) instead, so it's obvious it's a cheap clone.
It's a nice approach, because it makes the expensive clones more obvious.

I also learnt that some CI systems use OCR on Apple's installers to automate!
