Nor are the victims of preventable disease to be blamed for being born into countries without functioning governments. I'm happy to pay $37 as a U.S. taxpayer if it saves the life of someone I'll never meet.

Very! there are unified headers and a C library that the maintainers have written as a wrapper around the library. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native https://github.com/eliemichel/WebGPU-Cpp

Agreed. I wish it was easier to embed the compiler in my favorite languages and reflect on it. Quite excited bout Wesl: https://github.com/wgsl-tooling-wg/wesl-rs .

What I will say about sycophancy - the recent rollback that OpenAI went through does appear like a clear attempt to push the envelope on dark patterns wrt AI Assistants. Engagement optimized assistants, pornography, and tooling are inherent

So, gingerol is anti inflammatory. Fun fact, so is allicin, which is produced by garlic. You get a lot of medicine that looks quite a bit like quack medicine - for instance people making garlic extract: https://www.allicin-c.com&

This is the direction i've been theoretically harping about to all my friends, API first creative software will win out. After Effects has a decent JS api, Da Vinci Resolve has python and lua, you can script your way to a decent starti

This is really cool but it's not portable to MacOs or aarm64 yet, and that kind of portability unfortunately is what appeals to me about an embeddable scripting language.

My experience has been more like this: - Write small library as contract work. - Client vibe codes with it. Code doesn't work. - End up doing good faith assurance work to fix the vibe coded bug in the client code, the issue was not in

I think the borrow checker doesn't get enough credit for supporting one of rusts other biggest selling points - it's ecosystem. In C and C++ libraries often go through pains to pass as little allocated memory over the API barrier

I love this sort of thing. I wish there were a better alternative for ISF[1], it's quickly showing it's age. The kind of GPU sand boxed graph construction that this enables would be really powerful with the right "linker&quot

Some of the QT people have forked off and started working on slint[1], iced[2] is the most mature gui in the rust ecosystem right now (in my opinion), but still lacking in some ways, including portability to mobile and component libraries a

So egui is great for projects where the application runtime is short lived, or for overlays in longer lived projects. The visual equivalent of scripts, where you know you need a small amount of immediate visual feedback and tweaking paramet

I think my main use case would be to run it on unit tests, and then to provide a human-in-the-loop way to slowly hydrate small to medium sized code bases with types. Maybe progressive refactor tools aren't something anyone actually wan

I'd like to experiment with writing a reflection based dynamic type annotator for one of these. Just as a toy. Imagine a module which monkey patches every function, class in the parent module it is loaded into, then reflects on the arg

Rusts current pretty printers in lldb and gdb are just not good enough for a fluid step debugging experience. I've had luck with intellij IDE's but it's very sad that the best we can do in a language with such good devex tool
