Looks sleek! But I’m curious, what made you decide that gobang[0] wasn’t cutting it for you?

I've been on a journey for a while to understand how to layout diagrams / graphs in an "aesthetically pleasing but structured" way. Long story short, DOT[0] is the best language I've found for defining graphs (compared to doing something with Mermaid.js or any other markup language), but rendering with the DOT engine in GraphViz fails the "aesthetic" test for me.
Did a bit of a literature review[1] to understand better the different approaches, and to understand the scope of the field. This book does great job of defining and providing the keywords for the different levels of requirements, starting with "principles" that are provable in the academic sense, to "conventions" that are like principles, but cannot be necessarily computed (eg NP hard, so requiring heuristics or simulations to achieve), and ending with actual "aesthetics" where things get very subjective.
Ultimately got pretty deep writing my own force-directed graph simulation in Rust and visualizing with egui[2] (needed an excuse to work on UIs and I've always wanted to write less Python), but I'm taking a break to use what I've learned writing Rust to shore up the REST API testing suite for my dayjob.

Clean UI, too. Interested to hear your thoughts on HTMX when you get around to eval-ing it
Paired with running Scrypted for HomeKit Secure Video (have also found using the RTSP streams rebroadcast from it to be more stable than having multiple sinks connected straight to the camera), and this makes a really good persistent NVR solution that I can also use to monitor remotely without necessarily VPN’ing back into my home network or exposing Frigate thru a separate reverse proxy.

Fundamentally, I disagree with you here. I read this as a mentality that excludes unnecessarily. I hope we both can both come to agree that one should not be excluded from computation and computational tools just because they do not know how to install things.

That's actually one of the benefits of economies of scale.

> I've bought 4... 3 different... a fifth... Oof; that's a reputation. I do really admire and respect the approach Frame.work has taken towards modular, user-servicable systems with components. A mindset of sustainability from the outset is something I think we all here strive for.
From someone here who has a background in chemical engineering, can you ELI5 lithium ion battery degradation?

Tensorbook is better now.

Somebody asked [λ] for one in 2017.
