Are we Complex Network Analysis yet?
2 projects | /r/rust | 3 Jun 2021

I'm a researcher approaching Rust these days. It seems that the Rust ecosystem does not offer a robust complex network analysis library, or at least I cannot find anything related to it. I worked a lot with SNAP (C++) and networkx (Python) but I can't find something similar in Rust. Am I wrong?

5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Jan 2024

My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.
This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.
Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.

macOS is supported though.
And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

They seem to have chosen Docker instead of Flatpak. You can get it with Docker by running:

You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
