The Android app link doesn't seem to work
Awesome! I've been waiting for hegel-go and can't wait to take it for a spin
Re:Spinkube: Running WASM in Kubernetes on Wednesday March 13, 2024 @10:40PM (#39700076)
The project is focused on supporting Spin. But Spin supports a large amount of the WASI API surface and is headed in the direction of using WASI in place of Spin specific APIs wherever possible.

Hey SpinKube maintainer here. You're right that you could just run your Wasm (or Spin app) directly in a container and there often are reasons you might want to do that. But, SpinKube executes WebAssembly using a containerd-shim which means we avoid the overhead of starting a container and rather just directly execute the Wasm.

https://www.spinkube.dev/blog/2024/03/13/introducing-spinkub... is a really good blog post on Spin that talks about this.

Agreed, the trick is finding the balance. Personally still figuring how to do that.

For the more technically minded I think that is a great option!
Re:Three things you should buy and use on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @07:34PM (#31009523)
Yeah this is the big problem with them. Feels like there is a lot of room for innovation here.

I'll have to check that out. I've been struggling with PDFs actually.

Nice! Agree with all of those. I got a gravel bike that is perfect for the trails around my house and I love it. I never knew that there was a bike that crossed between a MTB and a road bike.

Also yeah plus one to noise cancelling headphones.

I'll have to try that wine trick ;)

Solid point on the free password managers.

FWIW you're still supporting your local library if you're checking out ebooks from them

Fair enough. I personally prefer to play it on my separate device from my phone but you're totally right that it is a viable option.

Re:Show HN: VS Code extension to help learn JavaScript syntax on Sunday February 07, 2021 @01:01PM (#26056719)
Hey,

GrokJS is a VS Code extension I built at a hackathon with some friends. It makes learning JavaScript Syntax easier by explaining it directly within the editor.

I was inspired to build this plugin because despite having programmed for years I still get hung up on odd syntax — especially when working with an unfamiliar language. To make matters worse it is really hard to Google for help with confusing syntax. Search results will think you want help with the semantics of the code rather than the syntax. With GrokJS you can highlight a confusing piece of syntax and it will explain it and link to further documentation.

It was a lot of fun to build and I hope you check it out. If you want to learn more about how we built it I wrote a blog post here https://calebschoepp.com/blog/2021/building-grokjs-at-hacked.... I'll also be around to answer questions.
