The last time I read Cosmos I hit the part about the Cassini-Huygens mission where he wondered what we might find under the atmosphere of Titan, and was able to immediately just find out. I imagine a lot of people who work on space missions

I've taken the course and love the book. The key takeaways for me were to shun cleverness in favour of building demonstrably sensible models out of simple parts and clear causal assumptions. There's a lot of using models as random

Doing my web stuff in Rust was fine but concurrency was a pain. A crate that abstracts web workers with transferrable types would help. After that you have to pick a component library of which there are few, and all are experimental. Making

One gotcha that would bug me with Rust/WASM today is concurrency in the browser. You only get one thread per WASM binary AFAIK, and the way to compute in the background is to use a web worker. The abstraction libraries that are higher

Was thinking the same thing when I saw those zeros in the checksum field. Perhaps the consequences are significant. Here's a benchmarking exercise I found: https://www-staging.commandprompt.com/uploads/images/

I've been using trunk for about a year and it hasn't gotten in my way at all. I used wasm-pack before but I prefer the trunk workflow. I was surprised how easy it was to add an external crate as a web worker.
