Rob Landley wrote what I believe to be the most accurate historical retelling of how we ended up with a mess on the file system. That retelling also has a lesson at the end about bureaucracy :) lists.busybox.net/pipermail/bu...
Learn Wasm by building a simple compiler in JavaScript. No compiler expertise necessary. All the code is in the book; we'll take you through it step by step. Get your hands dirty and see for yourself what WebAssembly is all about.
Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉
It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.
No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.

I rewrote Porffor's object implementation completely; it is now much faster and makes Wasm binaries 2-5x smaller than before when using objects!
Porffor's current worst benchmark gets 30% faster with >4x smaller Wasm; almost on par with QuickJS with only ~1 month of work!

Roc is re-writing from #rustlang to #ziglang gist.github.com/rtfeldman/77...
Freed up 439 GB from my laptop by running `cargo clean-all` and removing old Xcode Simulators and Device Supports.
Citizen Sleeper 2 is out. Side projects will remain (even more) untouched over the weekend.
Both my dog and I have dentist appointments today.
duckdb-wasm now has OPFS support! This means that you can now persist a DuckDB database in the browser for a given origin. This will make caching & local operations much nicer!

Cheers. Now get ready to spend the next few weeks printing parts for the printer itself. I’m currently on my fifth plate of the AMS lite cover.
The result is much better on Bambu.
Do it!
My new chapter of the #Rust book on async and await is finally out on nightly—coming in 1.85! doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book... I spent months planning, drafting, and rewriting this—and now it’s live! We’ll have more edits and improvements, but this is a huge step forward for learning async in Rust.
There’s a Black Friday sale going on 😉
new blog post going into depth on this problem: goose.icu/porffor-this/
Yup. My new filaments are still in shipment so I got some from a friend who had it out in the open in his back patio and it still printed great.
The latest 3D printers are crazy fast. I upgraded from a Creality Ender 3 Pro to a Bambu Lab A1. Print times for a Benchy went from 2 hours to 12 minutes and the printer itself did all the calibration.
I started a local-first starter pack because I've been trying to find these people anyway: go.bsky.app/NirnP1W
I hope Apple continues to sell Pixelmator Pro / Photomator as Pro apps like Final Cut Pro / Logic Pro and not just absorb some features into Photos and sunset them.
An Xcode error that says “Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code” for RemixView.swift
Swift compiler just gave up and exited with a nonzero status compiling an async function with a loop. No errors, no messages. I solved it by rewriting the function with recursion but this is unacceptable for a 10 year old industrial language.
My experience with Ray Ban Meta: great headphones, convenient camera and good-enough AI assistant (when connected to a phone). Paired with a cellular Apple Watch, it has replaced my iPhone and AirPods when walking the dog.

How hasn't anybody implemented multiple fonts inside terminal emulators?
Me advocating static typing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me writing a proof in TypeScript that an array is non-empty: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
Even with all the hype, WebAssembly is still underrated.

Hey, my vanity domain is actually useful here.
