Sounds like a great way to script yourself a bonus

And you could even ask chatGPT to generate a set of prompts and the API calls for you!

I'm using it for a browser extension, just because I wanted to code more in rust. It's great at what it does and has all the same paradigms from React. The best use case though, would be if all your code is already rust. If you have a complex UI I'd probably use react and typescript.

This is a great write up! For people using gradle to compile scala (definitely not my first choice) the initial hurdle to migrating individual modules has been fixed! I'm guessing it'll be in gradle 8.13 https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/31118

People have already mentioned Metal, but if you want cross platform, https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu has a vulkan-like API and cross compiles to all the various GPU frameworks. I believe it uses https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK to run on Macs. You can also see the metal shader transpilation results for debugging.

With what the OP asked for, I don't think wgpu is the right choice. They want to push the limits of Apple Silicon, or do Apple platform specific work, so an abstraction layer like wgpu is going in the opposite direction in my opinion.

Metal, and Apple's docs are the place to start.

Indeed. I'm curious how much overhead there is in practice given the fact that the hardware wasn't designed to provide vulkan support. I honestly have no clue what to expect.

wgpu has its own Metal backend that most people use by default (not MoltenVK).

There is also a Vulkan backend if you want to run Vulkan through MoltenVK though.

Oh good to know! It's been a while since I've looked at the osx implementation

the metal backend does currently generate quite a lot of unnecessary command buffers, but in general performance seems solid.

Time to switch to kagi.com

Can everyone justify paying for a search engine though?

It's up to everyone to decide how much their privacy is worth. It just needs to be enough people for services like Kagi to be sustainable.

For the iPad I've been using https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hdmi-monitor-orion/id645935507... you need an adapter though

They also provide cad models for some of the connectors which I found very useful: https://connect.makerpipe.com/build-help/post/if-you-would-l...

Why not just look at the source of that magical crate?

Maybe the font didn't load correctly but it solves both those problems from what I can see.

Ah that would be an explanation. I simply assumed they would be using pictures and did not check, whether I can highlight single letters. It's a pity then, since I am not loading fonts from a random third party, especially not from a bad actor like Google. The site also never asked me for consent, so it should not be including Google stuff anyway.

I bought one of these https://www.upliftdesk.com/bluetooth-adapter-for-uplift-desk... but the app UX was not my favorite. Fortunately someone decoded all the BT commands so I made https://github.com/dylanowen/uplift-cli and connected that to a schedule and cmd+enter. It's great to just type stand to stand
