"how do we get a reasonable compensation for this" by selling millions of $1000 phones, surely!

My @XylaFoxlin Spite mug completed its long journey to Australia and is having its maiden coffee voyage this morning.

Stoked to share this visualisation I made of my snake encounters!
Share the slither and remember, play it safe, don't get bit!

Whenever a new tool written in Rust comes out, everyone wants to know how it performs. Now it is out, I have some statistics. It includes STC, another really fast TypeScript checker! See the full benchmark here: github.com/kaleidawave/bench…

Now Ezno's checker is open source I thought it was time for new post. It includes a deep dive into some of the current logic if you are interested in contributing!

I have received a $100,000 sponsorship specifically for Ladybird browser development! 🤓🐞🌍
More details to come..

If you use TypeScript, are interested in Ezno or have any ideas for improving type checking in JavaScript tools, then I have just made a survey to gather opinions over a few questions. thx 🙏

With some luck and perseverance I managed to get Rust code compiling for classic Mac OS. I built bindings to Open Transport and then made a little weather app as a demo: Ferris Weather. Check out the post for all the details: wezm.net/v2/posts/2023/rust-…

I built a Rust crate to parse MacBinary and resource fork data. As a testbed I created a webpage that uses the crate compiled to WebAssembly to show the data contained within a file you select and allows you to download individual parts, all client-side.

I found it hard to work out how use the DeRez tool when building my temperature converter for classic Mac OS so I wrote up the details so there's something for the next person to find.

In my ongoing quest to run modern programming languages on classic Mac OS today I wrote a temperature converter in C + Nim. C is dealing with the toolbox functions and Nim parsing, converting, and formatting the temperatures. Code: github.com/wezm/classic-mac-…
New post! I documented my weekend efforts to run Rust on classic Mac OS in case it's useful to others or if anyone has ideas of additional things to try.

New video! I’ve published the second and final part of my #Rust URL shortener project. I make it a bit more efficient, add some compile time validations, and finally deploy it to #Deno Deploy on its own domain.

New video: Building a URL shortener in #Rust that can be deployed to #Deno Deploy.
I tried to capture the actual coding process but also tried to edit it so it’s not too slow. youtu.be/d-tsfUVg4II
