My personal stance is that 1. all adjacent whitespace can be represented by a single token, 2. whitespace between expressions is significant, 3. whitespace adjacent to punctuation is parsed with the operator token, 4. no other whitespace is significant

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.
