Question

how can I convert an array to a vec without cloning the values

Technically-correct answer

Make a Vec of references:

array.iter_mut().collect::<Vec<_>>();

Suggestions

• Naming of overlay parameters, by scope
• Allow mkShell do the heavy lifting, use packages and inputsFrom
• Proper usage of nixpkgs.lib.extend using more overlays (TODO)
  • Also avoid importing your own global functions everywhere, and registering functions in config.
• Use nix-systems and pkgsFor.${system}

Controversial

Summary

I have multiple monitors connected to a Thunderbolt 4 hub, and the monitors must be connected in a specific order to ensure that their respective profiles (position, refresh rate, resolution) are applied.

Setup

DEVICE NAME	Description
HOST	ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 (AMD).
MASTER_HUB	Anker PowerExpand 5-in-1. Has one THUNDERBOLT4_HOST and 10gb/s USB-A on the front, and 3x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) split passthru and a DC power jack on the back.

Jacob's Mod List for Baldur's Gate 3 Full Release

For the sake of brevity, I will refer to the path D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3 as GAMEDIR. This path will be different for your computer.

Mod Manager (for Divinity Engine, not native mods)

I do not recommend NexusMods' Vortex. It just doesn't work, and UI is confusing.

Python Snippets

A collection of useful code snippets that I have collected over time. They are mostly all written by me.

EmbedJS

This is a script to embed raw text into a page as highlighted code. It uses ajax requests to fetch the raw content from the URL inside of an anchor element, and then [highlight.js][0] to render the code.

The benefit of this over Github's gist embedding is that it can be used in a full page. If you want to mirror a Gist to [StackOverflow][1] for example, this script can be wrapped inside of a code snippet. Every time the gist that the code snippet points to is updated, the code rendered on StackOverflow will also update.
