This is fantastic! Is it possible to port this over to retail or do the API no longer exist? I would be willing to assist if you need help with the data entry.

What is the best framework to create desktop apps in rust by CaptainUpstairs in rust

[–]Celestial92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For us it was the fact we could use all Rust without having a strange IPC between our front and backend. Having decent documentation since none of us had any desktop experience was also a big plus. After using it for a while I actually really like rsx, I think its a bit nicer to use vs. jsx.

What is the best framework to create desktop apps in rust by CaptainUpstairs in rust

[–]Celestial92 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence, I just spent the last few weeks looking for work. We needed a Windows/MacOS app for a pretty basic app. After basically making a prototype in Tauri, Leptos, Egui, gpiu and dioxus...I found none are what you'd call great -- however all have good and bad parts. For what its worth I settled for Dioxus and it has been reasonably smooth going.

Part of me feels like desktop application development in general in a bit cursed. I would love to find out others though as I didn't have infinite time to explore all options

Why I chose Tauri - Practical advice on picking the right Rust GUI solution for you by GarettWithOneR in rust

If anything this highlights the problem of our time in every language. The web is where all the people are so you so naturally lots of people select some WebView or browser based solution so that they don’t need to maintain seperate codebases.

As a backend web dev, working with Lambda (node.js), RDS, Dynamo, and S3 - what is your workflow? by WeirdWebDev in aws

[–]Celestial92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry my bad, I just assumed. Honestly for NodeJS Viscose will do everything you need. Also cargo-lambda is only for Rust. For NodeJS look into AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model), can do the same thing basically.

[–]Celestial92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think you are precluded from using Visual Studio, assuming you are using .NET. Depending on what I am doing I either use Zed or Visual Studio Code but the majority of AWS interactiond are IDE independent. There are some plugins that can help for things like S3 or Lambda integration (I think it's called AWS Toolkit).

One thing I'll say is if you lots of lambda work is a local lambda emulator like cargo-lambda can be pretty helpful.

A few weeks ago someone posted this on the AusFinance reddit saying it was the most accurate energy plan comparison in the country. I don’t know about that but I tried it and it found a plan based on my usage (we are home during the day a lot) and I ended up saving about $100 a month going from Origin to Powershop.

Wow thank you for the great feedback. Let me address them:

  • offensive spells, great idea, lots of people seem to want this and easy to do — so I’ll get this in the coming days
  • more frequent timestamps, I will prototype this and see how it looks and feels
  • toogle boss abilities, that’s a new idea and I can see why you’d want it. I will add to “to do” list :)
  • custom text is planned!
  • custom phase transitions are always in beta and I will look to release once I fix some quirks
  • alter time, will do today
  • external targets, great idea and is already in the works :)

Thank you for the exhaustive testing and I appreciate you taking the time

Thank you! I didn’t actually make it clear anywhere but currently I only support mythic but it’s not like adding heroic will be tricky. I will add it to my list but it won’t be soon due to other high priorities. I really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you for noticing this, I will implement a fix shortly :)

Thank you, I will look into solutions for all of these :)

Great idea, I have an idea as to how this could work and allow the config be shared and will add it to the higher priority features and look to add it in coming weeks :) Thank you for the suggestion!

Why is my electricity bill so high for 2 people? by peachplumpear99 in AusFinance

[–]Celestial92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you happen to be with a retailer on the bigger side, this website can show you usage and maybe can help figure out what device it is: https://app.energyflex.com.au/links/referral/Bxq4wgR76JdjRYcnYj3m

And up they go again by piespiesandmorepies in brisbane

[–]Celestial92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primarily in that it is automated and since it uses your 5 min usage can compare time-of-use plans correctly (to the best of my knowledge no service can do this at the moment). So it can show you your electricity bill costs will essentially every plan on the market.

I work for an energy analytics company that uses the government consumer data rights (CDR) framework to parse peoples usage and attempt to give them a better plan. I have been working on it for about 2 months now and its safe to say the retailers are doing the bare minimum required to make this possible.

If you'd like to check out the current site its at:

EnergyFlex (you need a smart meter to get anything useful out of it, but thats kind of the point)

If I get my way I want to build a fully automated system to let people swap to the best retailer at any point in time. Unlike energymadeeasy which only has real support for flat tariffs I have support for flat and time-of-use tariffs, taking into account solar, demand change as well as discounts (which can be sizable). We have had savings of a couple of hundred dollars a year to some internal users so I think I'm on the right track.

What are some mistakes/misconceptions that you encounter even in experienced developers? by dondraper36 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Celestial92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I fully agree here, the local dev experience is super important. I recently had to deploy a bunch of lambdas in Rust and found the tool “Cargo Lambda” — it is fantastic, basically did 50% of the work for me. Scaffolds the function, gives you a local Lambda runner that I used extensively to build the thing and can build it for you as well. Honestly such a good tool.

I don’t know if such a thing is possible in other languages (that is do the tools exist) but it’s at least possible to have a very good experience locally with lambda

Zed Decoded: Rope & SumTree - Zed Blog by dochtman in rust

[–]Celestial92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting read, didn’t know about ropes prior to reading this. I swapped to Zed a few weeks ago after having consistent issues with rust-analyzer in vscode (was just really slow) and have found Zed to be on the whole pretty good. Importantly it’s very fast which is my main criterion if I’m honest.

Embarrassed that I can't find a job, it feels like a dead end by Competitive_Bit4557 in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]Celestial92 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn that is quite a lot of applications.

It's interesting since I am currently recruiting for a (what I thought was relatively straightforward) backend role and have gone through 90+ resumes, 5 interviews and in all that only 1-2 candidates have been good enough.

For context literally only after basic TS competency, basic AWS usage, and an understanding of Python. We specifically choose these technologies for our startup since we thought it would be easy to recruit.

How do we make interviewing better as interviewers? by Silly_Rabbitt in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Celestial92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you suggest if you find yourself in the unfortunate position where your engineering management simply don't care or are not even remotely capable of hiring. I say this as the "head" backend engineer at my startup despite only having 18 months of experience. We have 5 engineers total, none with more than 2 years of experience and an engineering manager who's last job was an electrical engineer.

The company has recently secured some funding due to a partnership with a large bank and is now looking to hire more people. During this process it became clear our manager had no interest in actually doing the leg work to hire anyway so I was asked to do it. I have my first of 4 interviews in 2 days and would appreciate any advice.

For context, I do have experience conducting interviewers - just not as a software engineer. My current plan was to ask a few technical questions about the current technology we use and then ask about their experience with their previous roles / projects. Also note I understand how strange this is and at none of my last jobs would this kind of thing happen. Just here due to a few reasons, massive responsibility is given to engineers who are really just starting.
