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

Graph visualization.

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.

This is great! Am a fan of this kind of focused, self hosted application.

Clean UI, too. Interested to hear your thoughts on HTMX when you get around to eval-ing it

Runs really well within a Docker container on my M1 Mac Mini with 3 2K (2560x1440p) Reolink cameras.

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.

Sigh, I literally Slack'd Stephen earlier today to not engage on this thread, but now I find myself doing so, too.

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.

> Both are made by Razer, they probably have the same exact warranty if things go wrong.

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?

Andy, the director of product (Dan) has been/will be reaching out to you.

Tensorbook is better now.

> and why a laptop?

Somebody asked [λ] for one in 2017.

The good folks at https://onestopsystems.com/ may have a JBOG to sell you, then. Ask for Jan; he's a friend from Lyft.

We at Lambda would love to talk to you about delivering better driver support for the speakers :)
