  • Literature review on the benefits of static types, by Dan Luu

  • Will read, looks interesting and I already agree with the premise but,

    please people, add metadata (date, author, institution) and a bit of formatting to your pages. Not much, 10 lines of global CSS would help already.

  • What bugs do you mean? Anything serious i should know about?

  • MAZANOKE v1.1.5: Self-hosted local image optimizer in your browser — now supports TIFF, ICO, basic auth (featured on Tailscale, LINUX Unplugged, Selfh.st)

  • Rust will take time - it has a few concept that I haven't seen in javascript/python/java/C++ family of languages. But it gives "zero-cost abstractions" i.e. a way to write high-level code without any performance penalty. And it has great tooling and WASM support, which is what you'd be after.

    But as I said, it is all not worth it now, just for this application.

  • Sure, do recommend - I'd need a basic overview, but not too deep, as I don't have enough motivation for in-depth review of all socialist governments in the last two centuries.

  • From what I read, it could easily be a tauri app, without a backend: just index.html in your system's webview.

  • I did also forget to say it does look very nice, with animations and proper polish!

  • If you do delve into improving the performance, I suggest using Rust and no_std crates for dealing with images, such as https://docs.rs/zune-jpeg/latest/zune_jpeg/.

    It would probably take some time to get it working, but it would probably increase performance and support any format you can find a crate for. But it does not seem like it's worth it.

    I'll add this to my list of "things I might to when I don't have a side project to waste my time on" :D

  • OxiCloud server, efficient and secure way to save all your data

    Jump

  • I've tried nextcloud, it felt too slow.

    Why would you want that all in one container?

    I don't want it, SeaFile provides only such conglomerate Dockerfile. And I didn't have much success with writing my own Dockerfile for it. It's terrible.

  • To be honest, I know little about Mao and beginnings of PRC - I'm quite ignorant about how much of an "absolute leader" he was.

    But I do believe that idolizing a person and concentration of power are dangerous to democracy.

    And it's interesting how much responses I got on this topic.

  • I would say that Hungary is currently quite authoritarian. And Serbia too. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were too, very much so.

  • The meaning of this

    Jump

  • Any language feature with such a long definition is a bad language feature.

    The less such features, the better the language.

    Thus, javascript is not a "good" language for expressing your programs.

  • OxiCloud server, efficient and secure way to save all your data

    Jump

  • This is just what I need. A few months ago, SeaFile shat the bed and I just could be bothered to fix it. It's deployment is a mess - a server, then a frontend host, a reverse proxy, a database - all in one container!

    So I will try this out. I was contemplating building a thing like this myself, so I can contribute fixes/features too.

  • Socialism dies as soon as a single person becomes its absolute leader. From there, it is just a walk toward authoritarism.

  • Dronies? Is this an evolution of takies? A subspicies?

  • If you are interested (and can pull together a bit of funding) I can look into how we could do this optimization in WASM.

  • It's JavaScript.

    And it is slow, but not as slow as I expected it to be. I've optimized a photo I've taken with my DSLR, 6.3MB, 24MP, JPEG. It has taken ~50sec on this phone, in Firefox.

    I know, it's a phone, but also, my phone can and does save, optimize, and apply filters to such images in <1sec.

  • Wait, how does this work in-browser? Does it send the photos to the local server where image magick does the job, or is it using javascript to read/write images, or does it contain WASM to do that?
