Until now, rust-analyzer’s “Run” menu would only let you run test modules if your cursor was inside the test module, but not if you were editing some production code in the same file 😢.

Starting Today, you can run your tests from anywhere in the file, without taking your hands off the keyboard 😍!

I’ve continued contributing to Rust Analyzer, and recently implemented a new feature that I’m exited to share with y’all: the “Generate Enum Variant” assist now supports associated values!

The band operates as a collective hive mind, rejecting all forms of hierarchy and making all decision both aesthetic and managerial […]

In this, the third instalment of our series focusing on the recording process of Debt’s full length album, it’s time to dive deep into the glorious world of guitar tone. If […]

I recently had the pleasure of working on a brief performance shoot with talented songstress Corinna Rose as part of a project for the Believer Magazine. One of the conditions of the shoot was that my mics remain out of sight, at least from the two camera folk’s perspective. I used an extremely simple setup: […]

Cutting a full length album in a weekend isn’t an easy task, but both myself and Montréal rock band Debt were up for the challenge. This is Part 2 of a series on the experience. If you missed it, check out Part 1 right here! Deadly Drums Getting set up on the first day, we […]
