Enable issues ?

This version of LibreCAD needs WebAssembly JSPI, which your browser does not enable. Please use an up-to-date Chromium-based browser (Chrome/Edge 137+). Firefox and Safari are not yet supported.

This is really impressive

I also use nats and like the way you side at the system

Pi-agent is great too .

You have really done a thoughtfully designed system and the way the architecture works looks good !

I am over joyed to see this.

They are doing a huge service for developers that just want to build stuff and not get into the platform wars.

https://github.com/cogentcore/webgpu is a great example . I code in golang and just need stuff to work on everything and this gets it done, so I can use the GPU on everything.

Thank you rust !!

I use marmot which gives me a multi master SQLite.

It uses a simple crdt table structure, and allows me to have many live SQLite instances in all data enters.

A Nat Jetstream server is used as a core with all SQLite DBS connected to it.

It operates off the WAL and is simple to install.

It also replicates all blobs to S3 , with the directory structure in the SQLite db.

With a Cloudflare domain , the users request is automatically sent to the nearest Db.

So it replaces cloudscapes D1 system for free . Just a hetzner 4 euro cos is enough.

Mine is holding about 200 gb of data.

The golang compiler that came out 3 days ago builds much smaller WASM binaries .

Still doing tests and benchmarks marks

I use golang WASM and use web workers and shared workers with a service worker.

This means that a new tab does not reload the whole thing each time.

Once you get it going it’s easy to build large complex systems.

I run my golang on car workers.

It does not work with wasi.

I just use a simple driver:

https://github.com/syumai/workers

Wasi is so painful that I just write all my golang using stdio and have a shim per runtime. Web browser, Cloudflare, server ( with wazero ).

The new go:wasmexport might be useful in go 1.24 but I highly doubt by it.

My golang WASM is half the speed of my golang native.

That’s double server costs.

It’s golang so maybe that’s why ?

Rock me Amadeus.

At least the central flight booking system is up I guess. Google brought it years ago and it's a mainframe.

Hence why google flights is so tapped in :)

Ironically SolarWinds court case happened yesterday. SEC won. SolarWindows was fraudulent to say their software way “secure”. They should rename a side channel attack a “Tom and Jerry”, because its getting like a game of Cat and Mouse

gedw99 — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 15:31:06 +0000

I am using nats Jetstream with nex.

It’s a self hosted Cloudflare.

It uses nats Jetstream , as a work around to Nat having bog / anycast , like how Cloudflare does its magic.

https://github.com/synadia-io/nex

You have to run it on bare metal or any cloud that supports next virtualisation.

I use nats Jetstream listening to git repo web hooks to deploy.
