Cast
gollark: > Any beginner mistakes more advanced rust users would like to warn me about up front?If your code has problems, randomly sprinkle in `&` and maybe `&mut`.
gollark: > Seeing as abby isn't on, the beginners mistake is starting using it.That is heresy. Rust good.
gollark: I'm *technically* a contributor too! Although only on relatively meaningless small changes to the ROM!
gollark: > Probably you need Phillips screwdrivers for Phillips screws, all these "standards" are made to take share of market.Aren't Philips heads just a + or something? Screwdrivers for those are very cheap and widely available.
gollark: Why would you convert stuff with *newer* codecs to H.264?
