I guess that sounds like the normal web/progressive web apps/web archives (especially with the push to more platform APIs in browsers)? Also, Tauri uses the system's WebView2/Webkit runtime, so it essentially works like this already.

As far as I can see from looking at their repo, Drizzle isn't a wrapper for Kysely though? You can use Kysely or other query builders with drizzle, but it has its own query builder too.

It seems to be wrapping drizzle, with astrodb just being a way to deeper integrate it into the framework and adding some ease of use features. Also seems like a nice way to support the development of astro by using their hosting service.

Yeah, the only unsafe code right now is using this trait to prevent some duplicate bounds checking when reading/writing to memories that wasn't being optimized by the rust compiler. Shouldn't be too much of a performance difference for code that's not too heavy on memory access, made about a 5-10% difference for the selfhosted benchmark if I remember correctly though.

Hi! I have a short reflection essay, which should be mostly covered by the documentation in the repo. But I could share it if you shoot me an email.

WASI is one of the next things I want to explore. Right now, there sadly doesn't seem to be any self-contained implementations for the recently released WASI preview 2 out there, and TinyWasm also doesn't have support for the WebAssembly Component Model yet.

For performance, I have some very preliminary benchmarks, but this is something I want to go into more as part of my upcoming bachelor's thesis.

Show HN: TinyWasm - A tiny WebAssembly Runtime written in Rust

Hi HN! I'm excited to share TinyWasm (https://github.com/explodingcamera/tinywasm), a WebAssembly Interpreter I developed for my final university project.

The main goal of this project was to deepen my understanding of WebAssembly and interpreter design. TinyWasm successfully passes all the official WebAssembly 1.0 tests and also includes features from future proposals such as like bulk memory operations.

Initially more of a research project, TinyWasm focuses on simplicity and portability. It has minimal third-party dependencies, a small codebase, and is compatible with no_std environments. It's now available as a standalone library (https://crates.io/crates/tinywasm), and I hope it can be useful for embedding into other projects and hacking on, especially because it's designed to be easy to understand and modify, while still being decently performant.

I'm looking forward to feedback, hope you find it useful!

zero-clause BSD is essentially a modified MIT that doesn't even require attribution, so essentially a "public domain" like license.

It is absolutely done, mostly by the media player/library used, e.g exoplayer on Android has automatic lag compensation for that purpose.

From the documentation, it seems like there is 0 mercurial support. It's its own separate version control system that diverged years ago. You can either use the sapling scm client or git.

The latest reply in this GitHub issue links to documentation and a example repo showing that tailwind is supported though

The visualization looks cool, but it's not fun to use, not having an overview of all the project names really messes with my head, especially always having to scroll back up and not seeing what I'm clicking on.

How is it with high bandwidth application? E.g would it be okay to put my media server behind it? Currently tunneling it through a VPS so cloudflare doesn't get mad.

Looks really nice! Also, super happy that the interactive examples are not super sluggish code sandbox iframes, they're actually usable! A more typescript-first approach would have been nice, or at least typescript/JavaScript toggles, but the React team seems to be aware that that's an area they need to work on.

I think the Python 2 requirement is just a mistake in the README, I'm pretty sure the node-gyp version they're using only supports python 3.

what does this have to do with the eu? The bad proposals I've seen have all been shut down, and instead good laws like gdpr and net neutrality have been enacted eu-wide.
