A complete novice writes Wasm by hand: Parsing Numbers

November 21, 2023 - https://burgers.io

I have decided to do Advent of Code in WebAssembly this year. That must mean I’m some kind of Wasm expert, right? Wrong. I am a complete novice, which means that I’m using Advent of Code to help me learn and grow. It also means that, if you are also a complete novice, hopefully I can take you along on this journey with me and you won’t be completely lost. Or in other words, if you’re a complete Wasm novice and are also Wasm-curious, you’re in the right place. Read more about A complete novice writes Wasm by hand: Parsing Numbers

Accepting Bitcoin as Payment I’ve been learning a lot about Bitcoin in the last few years. I’ve been wondering why we aren’t seeing more business accept payments in Bitcoin in 2023. I think this is coming, but there is a chicken and the egg problem. I asked a friend who runs an online company and he said “It would actually be pretty easy for us to implement crypto payments for us but we haven’t for two reasons (A) almost no one ever asks for it (lack of market demand) (B) there is no support for recurring payments.

TL;DR; Habits are important. If you want to build the life you want to build, make sure you are making the right small decisions every day. Habits Not long ago I read the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. You have likely heard of this book before as it is one of the most popular personal development books out there. As you probably guessed from the title, this book is all about the power of habits and makes the declaration that your life is based on many small decisions, habits, rather than major, life changing decisions.

Bare Metal Zig

Lately, I've had a nagging interest in working on a minimal OS again. Philipp Oppermann's guide to Writing an OS in Rust is an absolutely fantastic place to start and I encourage anyone interesting in programming to go through it. As indicated above, I've been hankering for something really low level but, truth be told, I didn't really care for Rust. I understand that its borrow-checker is its secret sauce and what makes it a better suited language for writing reliable programs. Read more about Bare Metal Zig

November 18, 2022 - https://burgers.io

I started looking into how I can use Rust in an iOS project, and I wanted to share my first steps. In this article, we’ll create a basic Rust library, a basic SwiftUI app, and we’ll integrate the two. No point in dilly-dallying; let’s get into it. Creating a new Xcode project So first, we need an Xcode project. I am, by no means, an iOS developer, so I’m just gonna go with whatever Xcode tells me. Read more about Calling Rust from iOS
