In the previous article we learned how to parse numbers from a stream of text using Wasm, in preparation for doing Advent of Code challenges. To solve the challenge, we intermixed the parsing and the solving into a single function; while that may work for some of the easier challenges, eventually we’ll need a place to put the parsed result so we can use it more than once. In this article, we’ll dig deeper into Wasm memory, experiment with creating and using more complex entities (structs, classes, whatever you want to call them), and then build a very simple custom allocator (no seriously, don’t be scared).

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

A quick introduction to 2B2D, my home-grown game engine, and the concepts contained there-in. Read more → about Say hello to 2B2D

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

The problem Recently I came across a very old Enfold theme – version 3.6.1. The website would should visitors Not Secure instead of a padlock for SSL/TLS. The research Upon investigating the HTML DOM through View Source and Developer Tools in Chrome and Edge, it appeared there was only one http:// resource on an otherwise HTTPS site. This was the culprit:<link rel=”profile” href=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11“> The solution To change this to an https link without updating/upgrading the theme, edit wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.

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
