At work we built a BI tool around Scratch (Blockly) back in 2013. It’s still seeing daily use: https://www.dialogic.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/demo1.gif

It will work with software implementations (e.g. llvmpipe/lavapipe is used in CI). That will be slower though. However you’d be surprised at how many devices have a usable GPU. Not all have NVIDIA RTX’es of course, but a simple iGPU will do. I tested it on a fairly low specced Dell office PC with an Intel Iris iGPU and that works just fine. Also most mobile devices will have a GPU these days.

See also https://github.com/webonnx/wonnx, which runs ONNX models through WebGPU. It is written in Rust and can be used natively on Windows, macOS and Linux (through wgpu which uses either DX12, Vulkan or Metal) or on the web (it has a JS API that uses WASM under the hood, which calls into the browser’s WebGPU API). There is a Python module as well.

The alternative is actually possible and works reasonably well from the browser: https://github.com/coder/code-server

Meanwhile, Rust beginners are told to use a highly popular crate called 'reqwest'...

Already on it! https://github.com/webonnx/wonnx - runs ONNX neural networks on top of WebGPU (in the browser, or using wgpu on top of Vulkan/DX12/..)

Wiki.js [1] is quite mature and nice as well, supporting bidirectional Git sync, a GraphQL api and search!

This only shows about:blank in the first windows opened (after starting Edge) but still gives me the "new tab page" with the Microsoft search bar on it for each window and tab opened subsequently (with no way I know of to set this to about:blank...)

I wrote something like this using reqwest for a Waveshare 7.5inch display. Also includes a dithering step so all that is needed is a web server serving an image. No conditional requests though but should be easy to add. It is fully statically compiled (even uses musl and rustls), runs on a very bare-bones Linux environment on a Raspberry.

Correct!

Yes, the demo was definitely made using the production system! (Although usually our ‘puzzles’ are quite a bit more complicated than this simple coffee example. Although more often than you expect, simply publishing a small CSV with a bit of filtering is sufficient!)

We have been using something like this based on Blockly in production for over seven years now to build dashboards. GIF demo: https://www.dialogic.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/demo1.gif

Our users (researchers) had no problems learning the concepts of querying but didn't want to be bothered learning SQL syntax - hence we built this (also, our system does quite a bit of magic behind the scenes to allow mixing e.g. CSV data with data from a database, and also allows for things not easily done in SQL, e.g. pivot tables, so it's not just SQL).

Only if the stricter one really requires you to use it differently (e.g. because of checked exceptions). If not you will have to guess for each function if it is strict or not, which potentially causes even more trouble if you get it wrong.

Having used both stricter (Rust) and more loose programming languages (JS), I can add that stricter APIs have made me think more about edge cases than the less-strict APIs. In the less-strict languages I often find myself debugging some edge case, whereas in the stricter languages I am more often required to think about edge cases up front (including those that I know will not be relevant, so in some cases this causes more work than necessary!). Still I much prefer the stricter APIs.

This. ESPHome additionally provides a minimal form of "device management" for larger numbers of devices, including OTA updates of firmware. This is an often underestimated aspect of HA; having many devices of different types buried in your home's walls and ceilings will get cumbersome to maintain, update and replace very quickly.

Although not automatic, I find Rust's clippy to be very good at suggesting improvements to code that compiles but simply is not written the way it should.

You can actually spin up your own web-based VSCode using https://github.com/cdr/code-server.

Actually not far from how it works on macOS. Usage of a system "open file" dialog automatically creates a permission for the application to access that file from inside its container.

Could someone summarize for us Europeans?

It selects the language based on browser locale - what is yours set to? Should definitively improve this...

Project I am working on that may be close: https://diasli.de

I have been running Resilio Sync [1] (formerly BitTorrent Sync) for a while now, it also supports an 'encrypted peer' and has support for all the major platforms.

Pro tip: on newer iPhones with either Face ID or Touch ID, holding the sleep/wake button and the volume down button for some time puts the device in a mode where Touch/Face ID are disabled, the phone is locked, and the device passcode is required to unlock.

Might also try https://diasli.de for simple applets (e.g. try https://diasli.de/1658/9b4Mry7xHYs, hit 'share' -> 'duplicate' to make your own)

This looks a lot like Vue.js - how is it different/better?
