@Telenet sinds iets voor 12 heb ik packet loss en regelmatige onderbreking van de verbinding. Is dit een gekend probleem? Regio Lubbeek.

[Helena Dix FRAM @HelenaDix]

It had to be done.

With the upcoming Swift 6 support for static Linux binaries, I updated my post (and scripts) on packaging #Swift apps for Alpine Linux https://t.co/wwBH2cPa0l

@al45tair I don't know if you're already aware, but I think the `--sdk` flags should be `--swift-sdk` on https://t.co/JpScpAqQJr

@dubroy @WasmGroundUp Awesome, thanks!

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

.@WasmGroundUp looks like the book I wish existed when I started WAForth. Everything written about WebAssembly seemed to just be about how to compile language X to Wasm, never about Wasm itself. The spec isn't very accessible, this looks like a great way to get into the details.

Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk. The goal seems to be to get activists to switch away from encrypted Signal to mostly-unencrypted Telegram. I want to talk about this a bit. 1/

@p_ch I don't know how it compares to puppeteer, never tried that. Could be that it's much less error-prone and resource hungry after all; I have used it with a similar volume, doesn't cost much, and the only errors I know of are the occasional network errors when fetching images).

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

@p_ch I find that wkhtmltopdf as a microservice works reasonably well, but it's also relatively slow and memory-hungry, and has some layout limitations due to the old HTML engine. I've looked for years, but never found something better (all SaaS solutions are way too pricy at volume)

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

@p_ch @_lsantosc Isn't that essentially the same tools with the same problems, only packaged by someone else, or am I missing something?

[WebAssembly from the Ground Up @WasmGroundUp]

An interesting talk about a wonderful project —

@remko's WAForth is a Forth interpreter entirely written in .wat, and the compiler generates WebAssembly code on the fly: https://t.co/q6LuGBy6df

The URL compression uses @neauoire 's ULZ algorithm https://t.co/sThOqIg0Hm . I tried a similarly simple LZW, but that didn’t compress as well.

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

Used #Genuary as an excuse to do some small improvements to the WAForth Turtle Graphics demo. Now with colors, Unicode support, and URL compression:

@HansStuer @jbaert Speaking of which: Claypool Lennon Delirium heeft deze week hun cover van Astronomy Domine op bandcamp gezet. Binnenkort nieuw album? 🤞🏼https://t.co/lXdedMr6tU

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

@binjimint hmm, wasm2c+gprof may just do the trick🤔

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

@binjimint Had an 'I wonder how @binjimint does this?' moment after styling a giant br_table for readability in raw wasm 😉 https://t.co/cxuTV7rRYK Interesting, `block/end`! I'm going to keep my s-expr though 🌳

[Remko Tronçon @remko]

@binjimint btw, do you know of any tools to test line/branch coverage of Wasm? (very slow is ok) I'm guessing 'no' because i'd think nobody tests coverage at that level.
