   #Polarlichter habe ich nicht gesehen, als ich noch mal mit meiner DSLR rausgegangen war - aber da war irgendein sich schnell bewegendes Objekt. Man sieht den länglichen Strich am besten, wenn man die beiden Bilder im Wechsel ansieht, die mit wenigen Sekunden Abstand aufgenommen wurden.

     Das war um 00:33. Ist die Sonne dann nicht schon viel zu weit über dem Horizont verschwunden? Und ich glaube nicht, dass Starlink dermaßen hell ist.

     The company that employs me is today 160 years old!

     This is pretty cool, but also highlights one of the problems with corporate personhood.

     Some 100,000 visitors have gathered in the southern Swedish city for the annual event, which is taking place amid protests and boycotts over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, triggered by Hamas’s 7 October attack.

     Swedish authorities have heightened security and are bracing for possible unrest during Eurovision week.

     Police officers have been seen patrolling the streets of Malmo and, from water scooters, the city’s canals.

      Es geht mir nicht um den Ertrag, aber ich habe gerade noch um die 400 Euro in einen neuen Akku gesteckt. Das Fahrrad ist auch regelmäßig gewartet worden und technisch und optisch in einem sehr guten Zustand.

      Das wäre aber ggf. eine gute Idee für mein noch älteres Fahrrad.

    Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly compiler backend for Guile, as well as a general purpose WebAssembly toolchain. In other words, Scheme in the browser!

    
    Cool. Cool.
    

    - Compatible with Firefox 121 or later.
    - Compatible with Google Chrome 119 or later.
    - Safari/WebKit is unsupported, unfortunately, as Wasm GC and tail calls are still not available.

    
    So there's GC in WASM now! That's very cool. So that's what makes Scheme possible ... without implementing a whole GC within WASM itself.

      I'm surprised that Safari WASM still doesn't have tail calls. V8 had experimental tail call support in August 2019:

      "There is a JavaScript runtime in rt/rt.mjs. The goal is to keep as much code as possible in Scheme, but the runtime is needed to interact with the rest of the world. Also, until larger parts of the GC proposal are implemented in WebAssembly engines, the run-time also has some routines to allocate memory using the host (usually the JavaScript GC), to enable garbage collection."

      Oh! I didn't know that would be possible. That's pretty clever.

      Introduction post about Hoot from last year.

      I love how Spritely is able to work really long term thanks to grants from NLNet and others. Work on Spritely itself, work on Hoot to be able to run Spritely in the browser, etc.

      #Spritely is building a whole bootstrapped world of computing. And now it's solid enough to go into the core of Guile too, amazing.

    I tried following #MKBHD, but tech reviews just aren't my thing.

    Whenever someone sends me a link to one of his videos though, they're always interesting. Collabs, historical overviews, metacommentary, always on point, always a good listen, and extremely well produced.

    His most meta is probably his thoughts on youtube creator burnout and how to sustain yourself:

      @Kermode I have not been able to reach my landlord for the entire time I've lived here, and there are doors, burners and air conditioners that need fixing.

      The new place has a direct lift connecting the flat to the mall without switching lifts at the podium.

      I will miss the open view from 50th floor, now replaced with a courtyard view from 15th.

      The rent is slightly higher, but not by much, and the existing landlord might have showed up for a renewal and demanded the same. The rent for either was market rent at the time of signing.

      The plans and interiors of the flats are identical but mirrored, but the lobby and corridor in the new place are slightly fancier.

      The direct lift and lower floor will save me three minutes when arriving home. 😃

      So we kind of moved 20% closer to school. 🤣
