What are the best books/papers/blog posts to learn about Morphic's architecture? I'm not a user of any Smalltalk implementation but I'd like to learn more as the Smalltalk approach…

Can't have wind power. Can't have bike lanes. Can't have trains. Can't have healthcare. Love this country!

The moment I see anything LLM-generated it's an instant close tab.

Posts like this remind me how much JavaScript could benefit from something like Lisp's quasiquote. JSX is a terrible creation but templating in JS is pretty unpleasant without quot…

No it's not.

This project is 5 days old going by the commit history and seems to be entirely vibecoded.

I'm not sure what they mean by "native" here but (ref extern) is for host references, JS or otherwise. The i31 type is for "immediate" values, things that can fit in 31 bits and th…

We're so close to a full circle moment. Next up is "npm stable", a curated set of packages (a "distribution", say) known to work well that are supported for a couple of years with …

I was wandering around the expo floor at PAX East last year when I noticed Earthion at the Limited Run demo arcade. I had a lot of fun playing it on the floor so I bought the full …

Sure am glad I moved everything off of Gitlab awhile ago. Trainwreck of a company.

It's my favorite comedy of all time. It's been going for over 10 years with a lot of little spin offs along the way. For those that want to take the plunge you can watch the first …

From Decker vs. Dracula

Tim Heidecker... from?

It couldn't get past a vote in the Wasm community group to advance from phase 1 to phase 2. Here's a quote from the "requiem for stringref" article mentioned above: > 1. WebAssembl…

This is my main confusion, too! I have an existing Wasm GC language implementation and I'm not sure how to reconcile it with the component model.
