EGUI. Note: You ask different people, and they will all have their favorite tool kits. GPUI is very promising but new. There are a pile of others people will vouch for like Druid, Tauri (Electron-like but faster?) Slint (As the sibling post

Rust is great for GPU programming, or at least for writing the Host (CPU) side without friction. WGPU or FFI-based Vulkan etc bindings for graphics. Cudarc + normal Cuda kernels for general purpose compute. I bring these up as they're

It is interesting to see the different patterns used due to different cases and tastes. For example, my concurrency patterns rarely use locks, and are instead usually one of: - Dedicated hardware via DMA, multiple cores/MCUs etc

With certain rough edges like complex traits and Async aside, rust is an S-tier lang in several domains. Of interest: - Embedded - PC desktop applications - Computationally-intense scientific programming. (Chem, structural bio etc)

I believe the disconnect is that the goal isn't to be as good quality as a controlled indoor environment; it's that there are car setups that sound dramatically better than other car setups. There is merit to your interlocutors st

I am wondering about using ML/AI for quantum chemistry; ORCA is S-tier software and docs, but is very slow!

Niels Bohr, the Great Dane, was one of these skid greasers! He worked with the queen of Sweden, and also used his academic contacts in various countries to secure jobs/visas.

I appreciate the explanation! I'm a noob at this sort of thing. (My experience with pointers is limited to MMIO and C FFI). Regarding trusting the programmer: is that in the context of pointers, or more broadly? I'm betting I&#x27

My mental model of Zig is that it is explicitly the language for developers who prefer using pointers in business logic (instead of just in MMIMO, and are looking for something with improvements over C); i.e. exactly this class of abstracti

Sulfur or similar may be more politically viable due to the tradgedy-of-the-commons. They can be enacted without as much consensus, maybe.

Could you clarify? Are you using the typo as this basis, or something else?

This sounds like "Smart person who has little technical experience and might have cognitive decline from age". The world is fully of people who's intelligence is legitimately lower than you might expect.

It's all factored in! The unimaginably vastness of the cosmos: Past, future, at astronomical through Planck scales. You have no agency; free will is an emergent phenomenon. You are not smarter than all those quants with their Ivy leagu

I think this is generally mitigated: When traveling, people use the card that doesn't have this fee. You have cards A and B. Has a fee; B doesn't. At home you use either. When traveling, you use B.

This echos the FCC rules in the US, which I believe are gotten around by not complying. Even if you are not making an intentional radiator, and/or are using datasheet-specified layouts or modules, you still must comply, which makes the

What are the project's capabilities? I have also written a personal finance application, and it's ~3k LOC total. And have several projects that are dramatically more complicated than a typical personal finance app, and are 30-50k.

Three broad notes: - I'm team GUI! The author outline elegantly why. Sometimes I put command-line-like things in the GUI; I generally view it as a superset of CLI, with vastly richer capabilities. This is kind of interesting in the bio

They have made a bed to lie in. Kagi is worth paying for; the vast majority of news sides are targeted at people who don't think critically, and serve a narrow-scope of corporate narratives. I love high-quality journalism (Mainstream s
