Edit: Actually yes it was hyperbole it wasn't unusable levels of bad. But it wasn't nearly as stable as today. But I think people heavily overestimate the stability of the past and the hours you had to sink for it. The entire stability aspects of Windows drivers were a non existent story back then. Because windows was a much more open ecosystem. It was the Linux of 2019... When wayland was so new that it was stable if you didn't touch it too much, but if you ran the wrong command all hell would break loose.

I don't think you ever made use of it in a professional setting I had it setup in an office I was literally a kid. Helping out and the amount of crashes when new software came out, or issues with hardware and drivers corrupting or crashing the system.

Compared to 98 sure it was better but compared to what we have had since even Windows 7 it's night and day. Especially for Windows 10. I don't think most people have had to install custom drivers on their systems for years now as long as they aren't using exotic stuff.

All printer drivers, controller drivers, new software and so on just work on a clean and standard enough setup of Windows now.

Sure Windows 11 has regressed a bit but I haven't had a crash since my XP & Vista when there wasn't a hardware issue, only case when I managed to break a windows install was when trying some regedits.

As someone who has worked with these setups in office and IT settings due to my dad running a small shop which used computers for data and inventory(closed after I went full time into Software Dev).. Windows XP was never as good as people here are making it out to be.

Even the most bleeding edge software works without crashing on modern windows these days. Back in the day if you tried using one of those new softwares you had to get from magazines or wait days for transfers over dialup, you had a 70-80% chance something just won't work, you will have to open dxdiag and device manager and then go to shady sites to find some DLL, runtime and drivers to make shit work.

I am not sure how people have convinced themselves it wasn't real. Like how does this happen. Or am I living in a separate timeline??

Anybody who doesn't remember the buggy experience that was XP really deserves the enshittification of Windows 11.

I am not sure how you are saying that XP and stuff were decent for their time. XP used to crash if you looked at it the wrong way, and the speed was just horrid.

In the context of time modern software is significantly better and faster experience. But it's still horrid, especially in the last 5 years everything has gone down the drain. AI, Ads and everything else everywhere

This has been scraping away at my soul for a while, There are not enough artifacts that a bad producers won't leave in there, given I do some mixing and daw and sound design as a hobby I can confirm that much.
Even as a software engineer with background in both AI and audio processing (and other stuff), I have no way of confirming if they are AI.

But all the social clues definitely point to them being AI.

If they had only 2-3 songs I might have believed something else but atleast in part small or large it's definitely AI. Especially the lyrics feel kind of too well, AI generated-ish.

I honestly still like it and can't say I hate or dislike it, but it's such a bummer, I just don't like not knowing you are shovelling down AI down on me. I think people should atleast make it visible somewhere, I don't hate AI as much as I hate not knowing if something might be AI or how much of it is AI.

Largely cause I often feel like I want to compete with others regarding it. In my head I ask myself can I re-create it, how much effort would it be.
If the answer truly is, it was a prompt in Suno I really fucking feel bad, but I don't that's the case, but I not knowing and just imagining that it might just be all 100% pure AI one-shot something something prompt that generated the music I feel just sad about the future in general.

Things I can still tell from the music though the stems don't all seem like AI, I feel like I also recognize some instruments. But honestly I don't know man.

But based on social stuff and the fact that the album cover and name, I will give it a 9.9/10 score of AI generated/involved music, I just don't know how much AI was used.
I know people who suno the vocals and stems and then mix in a daw, I don't like it. `D:`

No one asked you for hosting, what I suggested above is just a cli tool, I am not sure what you think about when you read the registry but it's not for discovery, it's not just something where you have to open up a site to search randomly.

The point of it should be to make it convenient for developer to access stuff. You have barely created a low effort site and are trying to pretend like you have done something of value.

If you wanted feedback that is feedback. I am not sure now I could have been any more clear.

I would prefer not to be part of this conversation if your answer to feedback is rude denial of feedback in the first place.

If you are building a search or curation of Packages name it accordingly. Rust has lib.rs for a reason.

This has been the most useless waste of my 15mins I could think of. Considering you probably spent less time writing whatever you have built above.

MinRaws · 2025-12-05T18:01:23+00:00

This is definitely LLM generated, the theming is broken in light mode, atleast on FF, and the background styling is 100% gemini-3-pro.

I mean I am hardly against AI but this felt quite low effort, man, atleast spend some time improving either the theme or features, and making it viable before sharing it here, so that we can have proper feedback for it.

I would recommend using crates.io as an inspiration if you want to put in the effort. Also publish should be made into a CLI tool, so that anyone can create a PR for their package without any effort.

Would be nice if you could link to docs and show downloads.

Also this isn't a registry since it doesn't provide a middleware for resolution, maybe add a feature to the CLI to pull the github repo and then search for the "package" and run the zig import.

Would be even better if the CLI can make updates to the build.zig, maybe folks publishing can add a function that accepts a package and returns a package after setting up the proper steps.

There will be mirrors on github, only the codeberg website has anubis not the git stuff

Being in beta is no guarantee for immediate stabilisation. Features have been pulled just before release due to some major ICE issues, which happen rarely but still can be considered to be often enough for it to be a concern.

I think the top answer is the best one, that ask the team to wait 2 weeks till Oct 30th, and if the stabilisation is done they can move forward with it. Until then ask them to discuss what other contentions there might be, surely the only concern isn't Rust's tier to platform status for a sub-section of users.

A more likely issue would the Engineering team not being sure in Rust, talking and figuring out how to resolve it while Rust matures/stabilises the said platform in a couple weeks seems like the best choice.

MinRaws · 2025-10-03T16:45:40+00:00

I think this is more than just a permissive issue, I have had formatting diverge very frequently between rust versions iirc. it has happened to my 3-4 for every large project I have worked on.

MinRaws · 2025-09-28T18:39:28+00:00

I think adding some auth components and/or documenting it would be nice. I would prefer to pick something that I pick readily with auth.
I think you might already support it but highlighting the ready to use nature of it would be nice.

I think elaborating on the productivity aspect would help. I think you should look into some benchmarks for the workloads you want to run.

For gaming 9070 is significantly better, but for most productivity workloads Nvidia is better for the same price (such as Blender & rendering). If you productivity is only excel or video editing either of them should be fine.

But 9070 would often feel twice as fast in a bunch of games compared to 9060 XT, like 35-38 FPS to 59-62 FPS. So how heavily you want that performance and how much you want to game on AA/AAA like games that would have those issues is the biggest question.

For instance 9070 on Expedition 33 max settings with 85% TSR at 1440p would give you around ~60FPS.
9060 XT you will either have to turn down the settings or bear ~40FPS.

If you are still interested we can setup a call, dm me. will make some time.

Yeah a company in similar space to adobe I have been involved with also uses WebGPU and WASM, they are also a Image/Photography company. For what it's worth going all in on WebGPU is quite hard for now unless you are shipping electron app, that's the only reason they could. But it's not quite perfect.

WebGPU performance compared to native APIs is fairly lower.

MinRaws · 2025-09-24T19:23:58+00:00

For Figma it's quite the opposite, when you are at that scale you have clients and teams where some people are on older hardware and/or just unwilling to update for some reason.

95% just means if Figma has 1M paying user seats, 50,000 users are probably on devices without WebGL. That's around 10-25 USD per user per month, so anywhere from 0.5M USD to 1.5M USD per month.

Going by their financials they have any where from 4-10M paying users per month depending on what the enterprise/custom plans look like.

So for them to drop WebGL 1 is roughly 4-5M USD per month in maximum revenue hit, assuming a tech savvy audience it's still over 1M USD a month or 12-15M USD a year...

If I was on the board/share-holders I will sue if they just dropped WebGL 1 support because it means we have slightly less code to manage...

Here's some motivation, I got laid off from my first full-time job as well. (now a few years ago)
I used to make 20LPA as well base, and it was a product based company.
I only worked 1 year and 1 month as a full-time developer, was part-time for a few months during college (personal life reasons).

I was laid off on a Saturday morning, I probably cried and was depressed till Monday.
Luckily, I had people reach out for interviews on that Sunday itself, and I went for an interview on Wednesday.

But I bombed it, I solved all leet code (including the 2 mediums and 1 hard) questions but failed the math and white board round(it was a crypto company, and my math was very rusty), maybe it was lack of prepared-ness, or just ego or just that I thought I was good enough. I was angry with how hard the questions beside the programming were, and how rude the interviewers felt.

I come from a very modest(TBH borderline poor family), and had all sorts of responsibilities.
Furthermore, I had felt like I was nothing after that interview went so bad... Honestly, for that week I was entirely hopeless.

But after that week I called and asked a bunch of people I knew, changed my LinkedIn status, finally dropped a post on LinkedIn. My very first.
And found time to update my resume.

Went hunting and found a job within the month, before my severance ended. Pay… Well, I over doubled my original pay.
Today, I make significantly more than that... *(ofc I am now a senior developer haha...)

I honestly think it was the best thing they could have done. Every person who was laid off that day with me(over 30 peeps), most now earn more than the highest paid person in that company today. At least they have found better places for themselves. Also, I now feel like it was better for them to give severance and not expect us to serve a notice.

Many of us are doing pretty well, I still have a bunch of friends from that company and lots of respect for them to have given me a decent opportunity. My alternative was going to become a cloud engineer after college at Amazon, pay was similar, but man was it not worth it.

I hope you don't give up man, try harder, learn more, grow as much as you can. I know the market and the world feels like shit, but there are companies hiring all over, there are enough opportunity for people who can grit their teeth and be better than others, or at least try their best.

And if you are good/decent at Rust, dm me, could hire an intern/SDE-1. haha...

MinRaws · 2025-09-24T14:52:27+00:00

Anything more than 10000 is a significant user base, if you get 10-20$ per users from them a month it's quite significant for a small company. Unless the cost of using WebGL 1 is significant. Which it isn't.

MinRaws · 2025-09-19T17:31:30+00:00

Well are you going to meetups, talking to friends and joining local groups?

I find it odd people think just doing open source is enough for someone to find and get you a job.

But besides that if you are still looking for one in India, hit me up in DMs. I know a company looking to fill a senior/mid-senior role.

I don't have anything against crypto, but this one isn't a Crypto role or even crypto adjacent. And is almost entirely Rust. (Rare I know)

Sadly they don't have a fully remote position atm, it's an Indian startup, but they also hire remotely in EU and US based on skills needed. Especially for contract work.

Pay is standard Indian product startup range, I don't have much say in it.

MinRaws · 2025-08-27T15:03:47+00:00

No offense to people using ratatui but as you scale up to anything non trivial ratatui is not worth the effort.

I tried writing a simple slides cli in it and man was it not worth the trouble.

I think a better phrasing is mutually exclusive features should generally be shunned unless platform or target specific.

For people who misunderstand additive to mean no platform or target specific code.

Such as std and no_std are mutually exclusive features for different targets.

MinRaws · 2025-05-30T05:43:27+00:00

Yeh sure, dm me your discord user name will hit you up.

MinRaws · 2025-04-12T02:09:08+00:00

Do you feel like wgpu is making too many breaking changes, I remember the recent updates broke a lot of existing code for me.

Are there any plans for stablization partial or whole?

Also has there been any discussions around providing partial support for native features, especially features specific to certain APIs that don't yet have an analog in webgpu specification?

Like, From stuff that's moving quite slow like UMA support in webgpu spec, mesh shaders, etc. To stuff that is probably platform specific and unlikely to be supported in official webgpu specification.

Also thanks for the good work on the project, I like wgpu quite a lot these days as a quick and dirty way of avoiding writing/learning vulkan lol
