If #AzureFunctions is not going to embrace and adopt light-weight #WebAssembly (#Wasm #WASI #WebAssemblyComponentModel)-based approaches for modern #Serverless #FaaS ASAP - it is going to be irrelevant for new projects within 2 years.

Dear Azure Functions team: act now!

@squillace @christianweyer @endocrimes @flavio_castelli If you enable trimming the default ASP.NET Core app wasm size is about 13MB IIRC. And you can change the initial memory allocation with a clang flag - 32MB is enough. None of this is documented of course, as it’s unsupported yet.

Hello, we have a new profile here and intend to stop updating our Twitter.

Codefreeze is an #unconference that takes place every January in #Lapland, Finland with very little structure. Actually, it’s not a conference at all. Codefreeze is a time and place for software craftspeople to meet. We would like to have like-minded people to gather in one place and have long conversations about our craft over a drink. And to practice our coding skills.

Happy to recommend https://pinafore.social. It's an excellent Mastodon client for web. Some highlights:

- It's really fast (loads quickly, smooth scrolling, handles spotty network connections well).
- Responsive across devices
- Works offline. Installable Progressive Web App
- Surprisingly featureful w/some ideas I haven't seen in native clients just yet.

You can also read more on the technical details, like its use of Svelte and CSS Grid: https://nolanlawson.com/2018/04/09/introducing-pinafore-for-mastodon/. Kudos to @nolan

An alternative web client for Mastodon, focused on speed and simplicity.

The German word "Ungeheuer" means "monster".

The German word "ungeheuer" means "very".

So:
"Das Hemd steht dir ungeheuer gut"
means
"This shirt suits you very well"

But:
"Das Hemd steht dir Ungeheuer gut"
means
"This shirt suits you well, you monster"

Enjoy our language!

#WebAssembly #Wasm #WASI-based #Spin:

How #Serverless #Functions for .NET developers could look like.

🔥 Super fast, secure, portable.

⚡️*Lots to learn* for Azure Functions.

... or just buy Fermyon 🙊.

The work being done to support a component model in #wasm is particularly exciting to see. I know it's not obvious to many other devs why they should care, but I really do believe this is where we'll start to see the next paradigm shift beyond containers and standard webapps.
