Discord is not a documentation platform. It is a chat platform. If your project requires connecting to a discord to obtain necessary information, then your project is undocumented.
gigabecquerelI don't know much about photonics, I understand even less, but I know one thing: I absolutely adore all these setups!
@whitequark i guess that polyfill + code not being minimised was enough to give me hope. Not smart on my part.
@whitequark I was about to go “haha hw people doing sw as per usual”, but then it’s not a webpack-babel-grungle slop as would’ve been done by “sw people” so eh why not, throw flashsocket in there as well why don’t they
@whitequark this is the same list used in e.g. citizenship application, and items like “auctioneer” and “funeral director” strongly hint at the class of people who compiled it imo. I was howling reading it at the time.

TheZoq2After *checks notes* 8 months, I finally got around to doing another Surfer release 🎉
The change log is long with lots of big and small changes, my favorites being the new wasm based translators, and improvements to the waveform control protocol.
I also took the opportunity to set up automatic builds of the VSCode extension from `main` so it will be in sync with the rest of our binaries :)
