webassembly
according to this post on the mozilla blog, we will be able to compile wasm as it streams into the browser in much the same way that images are decoded. this is a huge game changer from the current paradigm of loading javascript completely before being able to parse and compile it.
JavaScript code is much more expensive, byte for byte, than an image, because of the time spent parsing and compiling it.
— Yehuda Katz (@wycats) December 19, 2017
It's possible to parse and compile wasm as fast as it comes over the network, which makes it much more like an image than JavaScript code.
Game changer!
this will make so many things possible in the browser that never were before!
i decided to follow this tutorial and ended up with this.
i don't know what to do next. any ideas?
pop quiz
is this real?
hint: it's not. it's the witcher 3. and it looks like a real place.

git remotes with ssh aliases
did you know that ~/.ssh/config
aliases work for git remotes??
~/.ssh/config
Host gh HostName github.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gh_key
you can now use gh:username/repo
as the remote in place of git@github.com:username/repo
, which is much shorter and easier to type many times!
git clone gh:benharri/learngit
there are many other use cases for the ssh_config
file. for example, here is my config for the tilde machine for easy ssh connections.
Host tilde HostName tilde.team User ben
then use ssh tilde
to start a new ssh session. this also works with scp
: try something like this scp file.txt tilde:workspace/.
in place of scp file.txt ben@tilde.team:workspace/.
the ssh_config file is super useful. check man ssh_config
for a full list of options!
