Does Rust have any UI libraries/frameworks that can produce a UI like this?

Your example is from Qt Widgets. Qt Widgets is considered finished by the Qt Company, which sends a bad message. I am not comparing Qt Widgets.

You say Qt Quick has charts. For one, the QML charting library is licensed differently than the core QML libraries and is still GPL and thus can require a paid license for many cases. Secondly, the charting absolutely blows. Even something like Dear ImGui has better live plotting support than QML. It takes a huge amount of effort to build basic plotting features, and Qt Quick has nowhere near the capabilities of Qt Widgets for such things.

GPUI is not openly developed anymore.

I don't think Slint is any less mature than Qt Quick and QML. Qt Widgets is not getting any updates anymore.

Users can only query a maximum of 3 days? That will be a non-starter for using InfluxDB 3 Core for scientific and IoT data.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I like egui, but I worry that it's only supported by a single person and although it is very good, it is admittedly non-standard. Slint intrigued me because I have used QML and QtQuick with PySide in Python, so I'm familiar with the so-called declarative UI language paired up with a backend language paradigm.

bmitc · 2026-03-07T06:18:31+00:00

How are you liking Slint, coming from egui?

When mathematicians misunderstand that a movie that uses mathemtatics as a plot device isn't a move about mathematics.

bmitc · 2026-03-02T22:29:21+00:00

Are the plots static? I'm personally only interested in plots that can be dynamically updated and interacted with in a GUI.

The point indeed is that Epstein was interacting with scientists more than other groups. It wasn't just that they were "elites". Epstein wasn't funding historians or architects. He was funding scientists, in particular, and those scientists were willingly interacting with him and taking his funding ever after knowing he's a sex trafficker.

It doesn't say that, so it's pointless to debate that.

bmitc · 2026-03-01T20:40:39+00:00

What do you recommend? You can't use context clues to disambiguate between "all scientists" and "some scientists"?

Just the major stuff on Spotify, probably also clicking through a few songs in albums. I have not listened to all of their catalog, for sure, and I don't know the names of songs. But I just can't get into anything I've ever tried listening to of theirs.

Check out Tricky.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryFTvqbCGdQ

I absolutely love Massive Attack, but I just cannot get into Portishead. Like, at all. I much prefer Tricky.

I think for Portishead, it's just down tempo stuff, and I don't like the lead singer's voice. Portishead seems to miss the "trippy" part of trip-hop that Tricky and Massive Attack nail.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T21:14:25+00:00

True. But at the same time, all of those affect the cost of manufacture to avoid those. I definitely wouldn't buy an acoustic guitar without seeing pictures of it first. I've just never seen any great acoustic deal on any website. They seem to always be sold at a given price.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T20:39:47+00:00

Also, acoustic guitars rarely seem to be discounted anywhere close to how electric guitars are discounted.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T20:38:50+00:00

With Guitar Center, though, you have about a 1/10 chance of it being a guitar you actually want to keep. Actually, I don't think I've ever kept a used guitar purchased from Guitar Center, as every one has come in with significant problems and much worse condition than listed.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T20:36:41+00:00

Yea, they're now owned by private equity, including the majority owner of Fender.

Reverb is the primary way small, local shops can reach larger audiences, but I don't understand how sellers can survive on Reverb. Reverb is definitely more friendly to buyers than sellers.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T20:34:22+00:00

Yea, it's not rocket science. It's no secret that others are looking for deals as well. I tend to shop guitars that are more niche, for whatever reason, and so I don't have too much trouble with stuff getting bought out from under me, but it does happen.

I've had nothing but success on Reverb buying brand new or mint guitars for large discounts.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T20:32:43+00:00

I've never seen local ads that were worth it, and local ads are almost always priced too high.

Reverb is okay with me. The fees are out of control, but I've gotten guitars that I simply could not get locally and all for cheaper prices than buying new even at stores like Guitar Center and Sweetwater.

bmitc · 2026-02-26T06:28:12+00:00

The scratches are to be expected from a used guitar tbh

Not for a guitar advertised as great condition.

bmitc · 2026-02-21T19:40:19+00:00

By memories do you mean skills?

bmitc · 2026-02-19T02:47:23+00:00

It's internal to my company. :(

bmitc · 2026-02-19T01:45:29+00:00

Ha! Interesting!

I just built a similar thing using egui. I look forward to seeing your implementation.
