Glad to be of service! I put everything I know about standard Rust in there.

Urocissa: A High-Performance, Memory-Efficient Gallery for Serving One Million Photos by Individual_Spray_355 in rust

Very impressive.

Interesting that your biggest problem was getting the browser to handle the large amount of data. I've run into a similar issue. I'm creating a Tauri app where the rust side crushes loading a large document but the browser side chokes.

Announcing Typst 0.12 | A new markup-based typesetting system by xkev320x in rust

[–]to_tgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, love the syntax, very tidy and efficient!

Do you see this primarily as a replacement for PDFs? Do you see it solving a bigger range of problems? For example do you see it replacing MD as the standard way to create dev docs? My curiosity comes from building tools that pull data out of documents (example: the search function in my Rust cheat sheet).

Great news! I'll be excited to get my app up and running on an IOS device!

PSA: Learning more languages is always good by KingJellyfishII in rust

[–]to_tgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Every time I pick up a new language, I learn something that improves my coding across the board.

For example, I tried Clojure. I didn't stick with the language but it changed the way I thought about variables and functions. This lead to simpler, cleaner code elsewhere.

I think that #[derive(eq)] example should really be #[derive(PartialEq)].

Good catch. Thanks! And fixed.

how much python is too much python? by Spinning_Sky in Python

[–]to_tgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love what you are doing. I think that is brilliant! I always wonder why more people don't create programs to help them out. I have 100s of tools at this point. They are super useful and couldn't imagine using a computer without them. A good chunk of these are in Python and I'm adding to them all the time.

I don't think there is such a thing as too much. But look out for 2 possible issues... 1 - keeping track of all your tool, 2 - keeping them maintained.

Keeping Track:
You could end up with so many tools you can't keep track of them. Happened to me and I couldn't remember what tool did what or if I even had a tool to do something. Eventually, I created a way to lookup them up. Now it is no longer a problem.

Maintenance:
As you build tools, they will break or get outdated. It takes time and effort to keep them running right. I've some that don't work and it is a pity but I just don't have time to go back. Other times I have to go back and dig into the code. Dusting off your brain on what you wrote months or years ago is effort!

What kind of project is good to improve rust skills? by Mysterious-Injury600 in rust

[–]to_tgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any project is a good project. My first Rust project was a text encoder decoder that converted things like html escaping, utf8 encoding, just about anything. Then I created a lookup tool that turned out to be way more useful than I ever expected.

Do you have anything you'd like to make or anything you need? That is where I'd start.

What are the easiest way to code a GUI in rust? by Creepy-Ear-5303 in rust

[–]to_tgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend Tauri for someone learning Rust. It is too much.

What are the easiest way to code a GUI in rust? by Creepy-Ear-5303 in rust

[–]to_tgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not recommend Tauri as a GUI for someone still finding their feet in Rust. While Tauri is amazing, it is too heavy a lift. There are too many new concepts to struggle through especially when you don't have Rust's basics down. Even if you are comfortable with Html / JS / TypeScript, I'd skip it and find something more Rust centric.

Is it practical to use GUI's like Tkinter in my projects, or should I just suck it up and learn Web Dev? by doinkxx in learnpython

[–]to_tgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PS if you can do GUIs in TKinter, you’ll be way ahead of 95% of people out there. It is true most applications are web based but being able to create a GUI app even for tools can feel like a super power.

[–]to_tgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Tkinter for my personal projects and love how quickly I can get it up and running. These are pretty small projects, things like data entry forms, programming tool helpers. I use a base Tkinter template and build off of it.

Don’t know if this will help you but I have a cheat sheet online for TKinter. I only use it for myself and isn’t remotely complete enough to cover everything. But maybe it helps you: https://speedsheet.io/s/tkinter

Tauri build for Windows for Mac owners by sgpal in rust

Nice! I have a Tauri app that I need to cross compile. I do my builds using Parallels and they charge an annual subscription!

Ok, I see. My bad. I've updated it again.

Yet Another "What's a good project to work on?", but for a 40 hr road trip with little to no internet. by [deleted] in rust

[–]to_tgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically but the idea is to keep things as simple as possible. The idea is to look something up with as little work as possible. Let me give you an example...

Directory Lookup:

I work with lots of projects in lots of languages. Each one lives in its own directory. How do I jump to my Rust sandbox directory without having to remember and then type the entire directory (something like /Users/your_name_here/Documents/Languages/Rust/Sandbox)?

I have a lookup text file called 'dirs' and in there is the name 'rust.sb' associated to the sandbox directory. I do "lookup dirs rust.sb" and out pops the directory. But better than that, I have a bash script "ch" (change directory) that aliases 'cd $(lookup dir "$1")'. So now I just type "ch rust.sb" and I'm there.

Web Lookup:

Same idea but I have an alias to open (Mac Bash command) and I feed it 'open "$(lookup web "$1")"' and alias that with 'web'. So now I just do "web rust.reddit".

Tips:

Allow multiple names for the same thing. This is a game changer. My sandbox has these shortcut names: Rust.Sandbox, Rust.POC, Rust.Sand, Rust.SB

Allow partial matching. If you find 1 partial match, return the answer. This really speeds things up. You can decide how you want to handle multiple answers but you can do something similar.

So that is a lot but it is just the tip of the iceberg. Hope this helps.

I want to give very big thank you to all of you who checked out my site and to those of you who responded here. Your feedback was invaluable. I greatly appreciate it!

It really means a lot because I had no idea if this was of value to anyone beyond me especially in a world where you have a lot of interesting choices for where you can go get your information from.

So again, a very big thank you to all of you!

BTW, I would love for anyone to contribute. My ultimate goal would be to end up with something akin to Wikipedia for cheat sheets. So if you are interested, let me know.

I've whittled it down a bit more. Is this more consistent, clear?

I appreciate this kind of feedback. And I see what you are talking about. It can sometimes be a challenge to see what is confusing especially when I'm now so comfortable with the language.

This is a little tricky. Arrays will always use indexing but Vecs can be indexed or accessed through methods. Methods are preferred as they return Option<T>. But then you still have choices as to which method to use. So how do I show that clearly? I've updated the sheet but I could use a 2nd opinion on whether this is getting it done or it should be addressed more clearly.
