I use `bore` which works about the same, interesting to see new options!

I'd buy one if it had a headphone jack!
Same here, sad dealbreaker. I hope it becomes an option for the next phone.

"No native Windows support" should be written in all caps at the beginning of the article. This is a dealbreaker for most developers working on Windows, and this project will never take off until it treats Windows as a first-class citizen. WSL helps but not everyone uses it (probably most people don't use it for regular development environment).
Don't believe me? Just wait and see how this turns out in three years.
Are you sure? From let's say the 100 web devs I encountered the past years I remember 3 using Windows, and they all used the Linux environment for development.
Anyone have a preferred method of playing Tetris?
These days I just load up the official site's web version [0] but lately they've crammed more and more ads onto the page and Ublock Origin can't keep up. Sometimes the tab totally freezes. Makes it difficult to enjoy.
I like to play on Flatris: https://flatris.space/

For folks who started web dev in the 90s, with 9600 and 1440kbps modems, 1mb seems way too much.
Probably not always accomplishable with the high res hero imagens and videos we need these days, but we should strive for a web that’s instant. There’s no reason we should be waiting for a page to download and render with the bandwidth and hardware available today.
With proper srcset and sizes attributes, that serve compressed images in a modern image format you'll usually get below 1MB.

So is this still converting the Rust code to Web Assembly (just doing it in a more developer friendly way)?
Or is this allowing actual Rust code to run natively on the Cloudflare Workers environment?
I ask because there is a significant difference in performance between native Rust and Web ASM.
EDIT: I found this benchmark [0]. It appears you can run Rust 3 different ways. 1. Natively (fastest), 2. Node with Rust Bindings (2x slower than native), or 3. wasm (8x slower than native).
I wonder if this announcement is Cloudflare supporting the #2 configuration above (Node with Rust Bindings).

Had the same thought, performance is quite key for most uses I think. Still compiles to web assembly probably because they mention running it in V8.

Aside: a question for proponents of syndication (e.g. Atom, RSS) – as a publisher, are there other formats that should be investigated?
There is also a new format for JSON feeds: https://jsonfeed.org/
What software did you use? I have to use Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Anydesk, and an onscreen keyboard. When I checked a couple of months ago, Anydesk wouldn't even launch. I have been dabbling with Wayland ever since it was made available on Arch Linux, but invariably have to go back to X.org after just a few hours on Wayland.
