It would appear so! https://wails.io ... I hadn't heard of Tauri; cool project!

Such a great project. I converted my React-enjoying cofounders to Svelte/SvelteKit worried they wouldn't like it, but they absolutely love it!

We use Svelte extensively at Orb.net for our website (duh), but also as a framework for our desktop and mobile apps. Wails serves our golang and SvelteKit/Svelte provide the UX. It's been tremendous for multiplatform productivity, and binaries are less than 20mb! Nothing like Electron!

Thanks for sharing this. I was just commenting about the challenge of making a fun elevator sim game. This looks great -- can't wait to play with it this weekend!

This is absolute catnip to me. Fantastic job to the author! It really scratches the itch of wanting to understand elevator dispatch algos!

I want something similar for advanced sensor stop lights...

I've long toyed with creating an elevator simulator game, but every time I build a prototype I realize it's not that fun to manually dispatch elevators, and playing with algos only goes so far! Elevator Saga is great for the programming side: https://play.elevatorsaga.com/

Valid point! For me, the FSR3 -> FSR4 was such a big boon of performance and graphics quality it made GE Proton (with the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 flag) the easy choice for most games that supported FSR3. Luckily, it seems Valve has just added this to their Proton, too!

For those curious, Proton is included with Steam, but GE's Proton includes many tweaks, improvements, and yes, rebasing on the latest upstream versions of many packages. For many games running in Linux GE Proton tends to be better than Valve's default Proton. GE Proton also includes features earlier than Valve, like FSR3 -> FSR4 upgrading, etc.

CachyOS makes also makes a Proton that's similar but different from GE's. There's also Valve's Proton betas, Proton Experimental (which is often updated within days of major releases).

ProtonDB.com is a great resource for finding out which "Proton" works best for a given game.

Please keep at it! Doing what GitHub did for Git is a real opportunity I think for Nix. We'll be keeping an eye on Determinate's work...

I appreciate someone from the project commenting here. I left Nix because it just has too many warts, and unfortunately, they've only increased over time, which is the opposite of what I expected.

- I'd update Nixpkgs, and my build would stop working. The logging was awful, so fixing it took hours.

- The mono repo sounds nice, but selective updates are almost impossible.

- Building our Go project in a Nix package was nearly impossible with private GitHub repos, so we moved on.

- Bash scripts never work because binaries are never where they should be in Linux.

I could go on, but my experience with Nix and NixOS left me with significant scars. I’m hopeful that someone will eventually create a more user-friendly deterministic OS.

To me, these RTOs are nothing but silent layoffs. Their best and probably most expensive talent, who have the skills to land remote gigs, will depart. Amazon's smart enough to know this; I understand from friends who worked there they believe everyone is replaceable. I disagree.

This game is a lot of fun. Highly recommended if you like destructible environments and puzzle solving.

If you're interested in running SteamOS on a Linux PC, I'd recommend: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

It’s a bummer indeed, but more an issue of iOS not supporting 3rd party search engines without a wonky extension.

I totally agree. I love and hate Nix every day that I use it. I hope that someday they'll make it more user friendly, but I suspect it'll be someone else with a new approach.

The irony here is that Dbrand used to taunt Sony to sue them for making nearly identical, but black instead of white "fins" for the PlayStation 5.

I believe they had to end up changing the design in their 2nd iteration...

I have a similar address. I’m sure you can guess. It’s insane how much daily mail I get that isn’t for me. I get completed contracts, credit card statements, you name it.

One thing I occasionally do after a beer or two is reset someone’s password using my email address — just revenge in my opinion.

Sometimes the creativity and passion of a child can just completely shake up the doldrums of being an adult! Thanks for sharing this.

This, and Roboto Mono, are my two desert island monospace typefaces. Are you allowed to have two desert island mono typefaces? I don't think I could could choose between them.

I found this on their FAQ: "There have been some problems with downloading .zip files from Safari. The download is tested to work in Chrome and FireFox."

I used to go to this machine a lot in high school, and certainly drove past it a lot too; it was located pretty centrally in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.

More than 20 years later I sent a close up photo to some old friends who immediately clocked it as “that” vending machine.

Simple curiosities like these make me happy.

One feature request please: add an option to open links immediately in Safari (which has my preferred web extensions installed).

I love that you quoted “slow is smooth and smooth is fast” -- I learned it as a volunteer firefighter! It's a great saying, and can be applied to just about anything.

Plumbing is a big one. Most commercial floors only have a few hookups and drains. Each apartment typically has at least 6.

Building layout is another. You could only reasonably put apartments on the outside with windows. There would be a lot of wasted space in the core of the building.

It's all possible, but the question becomes is it desirable to live there? Will the rents justify the cost to convert? I doubt it...

Looks like Frere-Jones collaborated on this. They have a ton of experience with readability and typefaces. Excited to try this out!

GitHub, Visual Studio Code, Copilot, Azure. Need I go on?

Cool, yeah, just fly your drone next to wildlife and claim they don't mind.

Asahi Lina is truly an inspiration for open source reverse engineering. For those not aware, they also live stream their coding sessions quite often: https://www.youtube.com/@AsahiLina

I'm excited for the day that I can easily install SteamOS (the modern one that runs on the Steamdeck) on an M2 Mac mini for an insanely powered "Steam console" for my living room TV.

I have only rented with Hertz for about 20 years, and finally gave about after almost several bad experiences. Tried Enterprise on my first trip last week and was shocked at how much better it is.
