I'm curious why Zed chose Blade over wgpu/wgpu-hal.

There's a bit of detail here: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7015

But I'd be curious to read a longer writeup on the tradeoffs and how they came to their decision.

The organization behind QT (QT Group) has pretty onerous licensing terms.

My understanding is that it's $3,950 per year just to develop using their libraries on your own computer if you ever in the future intend to commercialize your project using QT. Transitioning from the open source license to the commercial license is something you can do but it's not the happy path according to their FAQ.

https://www.qt.io/pricing

My understanding is that some of the QT libraries or older forked versions of them are still completely under open source licenses but it seems like a very complicated situation if you have commercial aspirations with your project.

Something like Slint (Rust based but includes CPP and JS bindings) is not as comprehensive (yet) but it's more modern and the licensing terms are significantly more in line with software industry norms.

GPUI from Zed is also something to monitor: https://www.gpui.rs/

Also, in general you can find an extensive list of Rust-based native UI libraries here: https://areweguiyet.com/

This is the weights and the model under Apache 2.0 license. What do you mean by open-source?

Would recommend checking out mise. It's a newer clone of asdf. I switched due to bugs I was running into with using asdf to manage versions of python.

Complementary medicine (also called integrative medicine) means diet, exercise, and supplement regimens.

What you’re saying is nonsense.

All major cancer centers have a department of Integrative or Complementary medicine.

Here is Stanford’s: https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-clinics/integrative-m...

Complementary medicine means diet, exercise, and supplement regimens.

Denying that diet has an impact on health is very strange.

You shouldn’t be downvoted for this. These are all examples of supplements that a complimentary medicine specialist at a cancer center could or would recommend for a patient in addition to chemo.

Different studies show different efficacies but these things are recommended to patients.

I highly recommend the book Life Over Cancer by Keith Block and reaching out to his cancer treatment center. They combine traditional chemo with complimentary medicine techniques that are in line with what you’re talking about here (low glycogenic diet, exercise, supplements). They are amazing.

The Block Center does high dose intravenous Vitamin C as part of their chemo+complementary regimen.
