And we have a little surprise, #gopherBadge is now available at the @TinyGolang 's playground as a emulated device!! Thanks to the work of @aykevl 🎉

>>> https://t.co/NdOfoRwTwY <<<

I now need to include it in the blockly/badge's playground too 😬

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@GolangMarket Of course, some blinky LEDs will always be appreciated :)

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@GolangMarket Cool!
What's the 555 timer for? I wonder how many people will actually use it?
Does it have any other interesting components? It's hard to see from the render.

Generally I'd recommend to try to keep the cost low, I suspect most people will buy this just because it looks cool.

@AlexVeshev @gwutama @xkcd I mean yeah it's cold, but it's perfectly possible with the right clothing. I've done it many times especially as a child. There were very few times where we used a car instead of a bike to get to school.

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@AlexVeshev @xkcd In other words, it's the prioritization of car infrastructure that's the problem, not the winter itself. It's perfectly possible to ride a bike on snow once it's been compacted (just be careful!) and really a non-issue once snow has been removed.

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@AlexVeshev @xkcd Things I worry about on a bike when it has snowed, in order:
- falling off a bike, and getting hit by a car before I get up
- having to use the unsafe car lane, instead of a separate bike path (because the bike path hasn't been salted yet)
- falling off a bike
- getting cold

@ardanlabs Actually CGo doesn't have to be slow, the reason it is slow is because of how the Go runtime is implemented (and there are good reasons for this).

CGo calls are as fast as a regular function call in TinyGo, because of the different runtime design:

Got my fancy cufflinks from @TinyGo .
Thanks @aykevl!

@jd7h Do you know about Fedifinder?

Previously there was Debirdify (which worked better in my opinion) but sadly it got blocked by Twitter.

(And yes I'm also on Mastodon)

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

I made some @TinyGolang powered LED earrings!

I'm not really active here on Twitter anymore but wanted to share this one thing.

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@xkcd I can't be the only one who sees a similarity with the Mandelbrot fractal

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@adrianfcole @TinyGolang I actually thought about making TinyGo a C compiler too. It wouldn't be very difficult as it has a design like Zig: it is always a cross compiler, it ships with libc sources, and it already includes a C compiler for CGo.

Maybe I'll do that some day 🙂

Made a little demo to show the capabilities of the Gopher Badge by @_CONEJO. It is running at 30fps!
Note: there is some weird pixelation in the video. That is only visible in the video, it looks much more smooth in real life.

@deadprogram @Iberia I don't know what's behind you but it certainly looks interesting.

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@imbushuo Whoa, how did you do that? I tried getting this to work but not knowing QEMU or generally virtualization very well I couldn't get it to run.

Also, any chance it can work on an M1 Pro?

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@Stef_van_Dop @BadgeteamNL @MCH2022Camp This would be great! I believe many badges aren't even used at all so they're really just e-waste. Being able to choose would help a lot, it might even reduce the cost of the event slightly.

That said, the MCH badge is beautiful and I hope to see something like it next time.

Another neat use case for @TinyGolang : shrinking the u-root footprint by 5x..

@xkcd Today I learned that Mastodon, Slack, and Reddit are basically the same.

[Ayke van Laethem @aykevl]

@pandora9001 @rustembedded This is really cool!
I made something similar like this for TinyGo: https://t.co/sVd3YH5MHH
It compiles to wasm instead of arm/avr/etc and supports things like wires, LEDs, buttons, etc.
Porting to other languages like Rust should be not too difficult if anybody is interested.
