I'm happy to announce I will be speaking at #RustFestZurich this year. My talk is about Linon, a graphical #RustLang application I began writing during my MSc studies at @uniheidelberg for interactively exploring the visual effects of continuous refraction or distortion of light rays. The application is based on #wgpu, making heavy use of #WGSL compute shaders.

janriemer,

@niklaskorz @uniheidelberg

Wow, this sounds so interesting and absolutely mind-bending!🤓

Do you know, if the talk will be recorded? Would love to see it! 🙂

@mo8it @janriemer I'm pretty sure they will be, as the talks of the previous RustFest Zurich in 2017 are also online 😄

me: let's try these Wayland explicit sync patches, maybe they fix my Nvidia issues

nixos-rebuild: let me just quickly rebuild 30 gigabytes of source code

If there's one more "crucial security update" for that I have to install this week, I'll quit the internet for the rest of the week.

Seit letzter Woche bin ich Mitglied im gemeinnützigen Verein @hackerstolz, der vor allem vor der Pandemie zahlreiche Workshops, Meetups und Hackathons in und Umgebung organisiert hat. Dadurch ist der Hackerstolz e.V. nun auch endlich im Fediverse angekommen. Meine Motivation für den Beitritt war die generell etwas geschrumpfte Meetup-Szene in unserer Region und die sehr positive Resonanz auf unser erstes @NixRust in letzten Monat.

looks interesting, but now I've already set up on on my Pi. And the fact that you need like five docker containers to run Immich vs one NixOS service configuration for Photoprism doesn't make it any more appealing.

@niklaskorz @hmiron That said, if you want containerization, you can also declare that service to run in a container via that same config :)

Or you could build an OCI/docker container image with your service configuration for running on any platform able to run such images.

@niklaskorz @hmiron Or build a VM image if you prefer a VM ofc.

Now that Garbage Collection ships in Firefox 120, can you update the support info in https://developer.chrome.com/blog/wasmgc/ @tomayac? 🙂

Also I'd be curious to know if Safari is working on it, I can't seem to find any info about that. 🤔 (maybe you can point me in the right direction @jensimmons?)

Had to ask the team, but here's the response, courtesy of Sam Clegg:

Wasm is attempting to mostly be a hardware abstraction. WasmGC is arguably an exception, but we want to avoid using that as an excuse to start adding more high level / userspace things into the Wasm spec. If we added malloc and free then (at least from an emscripten POV) the next logical thing to ask for would be sprintf which often ends up adding a lot of code size to Wasm binaries built with C/C++.

@niklaskorz And courtesy of Bart Wiegmans:

The technical argument for WasmGC was that the VM probably already has a GC, so having a GC-within-Wasm and GC-outside-Wasm isn't exactly idea. Andy Wingo wrote a bunch about it: https://wingolog.org/archives/2023/03/20/a-world-to-win-webassembly-for-the-rest-of-us.

Sorry @zeenix for the Taco on your backpack :blobcateyes:

janriemer, (edited )

@niklaskorz @zeenix Ok, now I want to hear that story of that Taco!🧐 🌮

(I'm joking obviously 😉 Hope y'all and the backpack are fine (the Taco probably isn't 😢))

Ich begrüße meinen langjährigen Freund @xeleonox im Fediverse.
Wer sich für Fun Facts, oder interessiert, kann ja mal bei ihm vorbeischauen, oder ihm Leute zum Folgen vorschlagen. :blobcatspace: :boost_requested:
