All the videos on that page are so slow and choppy on my 2019 MacBook Pro 16" in Safari. If not intentional, their marketing should do it every time they want customers to upgrade.

The way I understand it, it's a JS interpreter (SpiderMonkey) compiled to WASM that supports the Service Worker API[1]. So you basically get an unlimited number of sandboxed JS environments, that you can spawn very quickly like browser

You should checkout WASM4⁽¹⁾, an Open Source WebAssembly-based fantasy console with 4 colors and a 160x160 screen. One of its advantages over TIC-80 is that you can program games in any language that compiles to WebAssembly. The games are t

Nice write up and a refreshing take on building websites w/o relying too much on JS! Great experimental music too. I've run out of free space on soundcloud, and Bandcamp is incredibly slow to upload files. So I might as well just

> Bintracker is written in Scheme, using the CHICKEN Scheme implementation. The full power of Scheme is available at run-time, which means you can program Bintracker... in Bintracker. Amazing! Not only can I enjoy the gameboy sounds but

Here's a youtube video of this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUCegCa7A08 Really excited about Scheme compiling to WebAssembly. A whole world of possibilities indeed!

That's an interesting thought! The concept of a simple and light-weight VM is very appealing for personal computing, especially if you're an engineer yourself. Hundred Rabbits created an entire ecosystem around a VM called Uxn[1],

Kudos for the Janet shout out! It's an excellent little language, and Janet for Mortals is an excellent book to learn it. The author has a great sense of humor.

For those who don't know (I didn't) – BEAM is the Erlang virtual machine. It supports many programming languages. This new compiler/runtime targets WebAssembly.

Oh, you’re absolutely right. Oxford dictionary says: > 1960s: from Yiddish kvetsh (noun), kvetshn (verb), from Middle High German quetschen, literally ‘crush’.

Humidity meters. It's crazy how humid it can be in the apartment, and how big the effect of airing for 5 minutes is. A portable coffee grinder. It's small and grinds enough coffee for exactly one mocha pot. I had been using a manu

The Japanese R not being a rolling R doesn’t make it easier either. It’s a single tap. Americans are actually familiar with this sound in words like water and butter. The alveolar tap in the middle (the T) is close to where the Japanese R&#

Two recommendations: - American Accent Training – it’s an audio book. Lots of great advice. - Accent’s Way on YouTube. She’s an Israeli who taught herself the American accent to a complete perfection. You wouldn’t tell. Lots of information
