Show HN: I made a crate for creating interactive chord diagrams in Rust
- neolog 6y agoReally obnoxious pop-up ad that won't even go away when I click in the background.
- DataCrayon 6y agoHi - I'll see if I can get it to disappear on background click (will check Bootstrap docs now). In the meantime clicking the [x] or pressing [esc] will make it go away and not return! edit: Done! I moved the popup further down the page too. Thank you for the feedback.
- gus_massa 6y agoSometimes the lines to the near blocks cross with the lines to the far blocks. https://imgur.com/a/VdfEQES https://imgur.com/a/VdfEQES It would be nice to ensure they never cross, but I'm not sure how hard is that geometric calculation.
- DataCrayon 6y agoThank you for highlighting that - I've created an issue (https://github.com/shahinrostami/chord_rs/issues/3 https://github.com/shahinrostami/chord_rs/issues/3) and will check it out when I can!
- xcambar 6y agoOh. So chord diagrams do not refer to music notation, here. My mistake :)
- DataCrayon 6y agoTo make things even more confusing... https://imgur.com/a/vdzoKgF https://imgur.com/a/vdzoKgF Images illustrating (guitar) chord diagrams, and featured link describing (radial network) chord diagrams!
- viraptor 6y agoNow I want to make a chord diagram of chord diagrams with connections between shapes that differ on one string only...
- DataCrayon 6y agoI also want you to make this...
- xcambar 6y agoPlease do. I would like it.
- ChiefOBrien 6y agoCan this bloody "I made X in Rust" meme go away from the headlines, please? It's like the software has no useful feature other than being written in a language no one cares about.
- adkadskhj 6y agoI personally like seeing the language. Though it definitely does seem to trigger people, with Rust specifically. Imo, avert your eyes.
- DataCrayon 6y agoHi - this contribution is a Rust crate. I've done the same for Python. In this case, I think distinguishing the post with the language makes sense!
- Guthur 6y agoI think more to the point is there anything particularly novel about other than the fact it's written in Rust?

- potamic 6y agoSorry, I also must detract from the point of the post, but I feel there is merit in a small rant. I made a crate, reminds me of the I made a gem days. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels pretentious. And I even know what crates and gems are. I can't imagine how someone who doesn't know the lingo looks at it. It's a library! I wrote a library that does blah blah. No one ever says I made a jar or I laid an egg...
- DataCrayon 6y agoI hadn't considered this to be an issue - this is new to me. I would use "package" for Python as I do "crate" for Rust. It is just the terminology used on the website https://crates.io/ https://crates.io/. For me, it also indicates that it's available through the repository.
- SGML_ROCKSTAR 6y agoWould you say that Rust is an appropriate language for learning Machine Learning and Data Science? Does it make the learning of it simple, difficult, other? I'm new to the three, and Rust is a language that I'm working on now as it (to me) seems that it will be around for a long time, like Perl.
- DataCrayon 6y agoHi! I don't recommend using Rust to learn data science. Unless you're an exceptional Rust programmer, you may end up spending most of your time negotiating with Rust instead of putting data science concepts to practice. The difficulty of the language aside, the ecosystem isn't ready yet... I've been keeping an eye on https://www.arewelearningyet.com/ https://www.arewelearningyet.com/, I hope it's still up-to-date. For this reason, I would recommend Python for data science/ML. I try to cover both Rust and data science in my book (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-notebooks/ https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-...), but it can be tricky!
- Shared404 6y agoThanks for being honest, there are too many people always saying "Rust is the best for everything!". I like Rust a lot, but use the best tool for the job.
