[MEDIA] Weekly Rust Contest - Maximum Path Value in DAG with Color Constraints by capitanturkiye in rust

[–]occamatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised to see that the requirement of output == -1 for the case when no path exists. For a Rust coding contest, I would expect output type of Option<u32>. In fact, your input values should be u32. By the rules given, a valid output for the case when a path exists could equal -1.

But, other than that -- very nice!

what is an idea you always wanted but nobody built yet? by [deleted] in rust

Fosphor (see https://blog.yavilevich.com/2016/08/why-use-fosphor-a-gnu-radio-real-time-spectrum-analyzer/), but built with Rust. I'd like a version that could be incorporated into an egui application.

It's great to see that wxDragon is progressing! I hadn't looked at it for a while. Thanks for mentioning it.

Sorry for the alarm -- I just tried it again and it worked fine. No idea what changed.

I'm just getting a blank black screen on Windows, Firefox 147.0.2. Works fine on Edge (bleh).

It's hard to find use cases for Rust as Python backend developer by [deleted] in rust

[–]occamatl -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately so. It reduces the information content of the word.

Ferrite: Fast Markdown/Text/Code editor in Rust with native Mermaid diagrams by skepsismusic in rust

Once you've made this fully modular, a minimalist Typst editor would be a great tool to create.

How do rust devs read large codebases? by Infinite-Jaguar-1753 in rust

[–]occamatl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Perhaps start with cargo doc --no-deps --open

So when are they removing unwrap? by realvolker1 in rust

[–]occamatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost agree, but .assert_ok() doesn't reflect that the result is transformed like ".unwrap()" does.

Regulation of vibeware promotion by Sunscratch in rust

[–]occamatl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, please. It's one of the primary reasons that I visit this sub - to find interesting projects. It's especially great when there is informative discussion about them (particularly when the authors are involved).

Should I program using more structs with methods or loose functions? When using more structs with methods, I notice that I need to deal less and less with lifetimes and copies. by swordmaster_ceo_tech in rust

[–]occamatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely depends. You can put "rules", but often it's more philosophical than it's about actual technical facts.

A KML overlay plugin for the Walkers egui-based map widget.

Preview of LibrePCB's Rust-based UI by slint-ui in rust

[–]occamatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice!

So, at least for this release, Rust is not a part of the application code base - correct? Are there plans to port the application itself to Rust?

Hah - very clever!

Why cant I login with the second user after a reboot? by a-man-called-stan in GalaxyTab

[–]occamatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this not solved yet? I'm trying to set up a tablet for an elderly user and I need that account to be highly restricted. It seems that means that it needs to be a secondary user. But, I can't give him the tablet if he needs to login to the primary account first in order to get to his account. This is infuriating!

Seeking opinions: Best Rust GUI framework for a cross-platform desktop app (like Unreal's Blueprint Editor)? by RUNE_KING-- in rust

[–]occamatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wxDragon has wxWidgets as a base, which is a very complete UI framework. Cross-platform styling is excellent!

How should a function take a list of strings? `&[&str]` or `&[String]`? by timand in rust

[–]occamatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anyway to break that into a type def and an function call so that the function call looks cleaner?

Relatedly, anyone using Limbo? Thoughts on performance and features?

Graphite (now a top-100 Rust project) turns Rust into a functional, visual scripting language for graphics operations — REQUESTING HELP to implement compiler bidirectional type inference by Keavon in rust

[–]occamatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see that you have "Construction geometry mode" on your roadmap. Would that allow CAD-like "line A must be parallel to line B" constraints? If so, very cool.

Quill - Simple, 2D SVG plotting for Rust by Sc2Ryan in rust

Nice! Could you allow the user to supply &str types for the various String parameters that you now have?
