well I just switched to rspack (and lightningcss), that was on my list anyway

no REPL? no problem.

creating a test that panics with a debug formatting of the expression I want to inspect, clicking the "play" button in Zed — tada!

@fasterthanlime isn't this is correct usage of tests? tests don't end up in the final application, types do.

Okay well JPEG-XL might not be supported in browsers but nobody said I can't use it as an "original" format in my blog's content/ directory, right?

(Note: I'm still serving AVIF to browsers)

Showing total file sizes: 1.1GiB for PNG, 16MB for JPEG-XL. I explain I used lossy compression with quality 30, which is still visually undistinguishable

@andyeff@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterthanlime Out of curiosity, what tool / util are you using to create JXL and AVIF files?

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@andyeff Custom CDN! I do PNG to JXL with Magick but then my site converts with the image crate and some libjxl binding

So I'm probably doing it wrong, right, but one of the (technical) downsides to nix is that I think it currently needs to fetch several gigabytes' worth of things from cache to finish evaluating and come to the conclusion that it.. doesn't need to do much at all?

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@msfjarvis (I am)

ivan ,
@ivan@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterthanlime @msfjarvis apologize for being slightly pedantic here: when using flakes, nix requires downloading all flake inputs transitively before it can evaluate derivations.

Derivation inputs are only downloaded when trying to build the derivation.

Unless IFD (input from derivation) is triggered, you technically don’t need toolchains present just to evaluate things (eg via nix build .# --dry-run).

Happy to take a look if crane seems to be at fault triggering IFD

Every time I sit on a draft instead of shooting a video I learn something more that's relevant to the video

The logical conclusion is I should simply never shoot videos

@bjorn3 !! all 689 crates in the dep graph of my website do compile under aarch64-apple-darwin (but do not link, either with the hacky patch in you-know-which-wasmtime-issue, or with the classic linker).

I'm really excited though!

bjorn3 ,
@bjorn3@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterthanlime What is the linker error with the classic linker? As far as I'm aware it should work with the classic linker.

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@bjorn3 So cargo-clif itself wouldn't build with the classic linker (exported via setting $RUSTFLAGS), I had to check out cranelift, apply the patch in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/8730#issuecomment-2143671958 and then it'd build

For my crates, I also had to patch ring to comment out two assertions: https://gist.github.com/fasterthanlime/eb2a81ddd9d36eaa6d9275d265a5c04c

Here's an asciinema of both failing scenarios (classic linker first, XCode 15 second): https://asciinema.org/a/MK9nHfKbqFleHrHjlic5KHcwr — note that the patch I applied to cranelift may hurt here? not sure.

@fasterthanlime yeah either they changed plans in the last few months or the website is seriously out of date. Originally it said something akin to “macOS is our only priority right now, with linux support in consideration”. Nevertheless, I’m on still on Windows 10.

fasterthanlime OP ,
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io avatar

@mikkelens Well they’re also working on the Windows build for sure - but I don’t know how hard it is to build!
