So I’ve had this idea for a while now that I want to try out. I want to re-create a conference, or a meetup over video-conferencing, but the problem is that these events aren’t * just * webinars:
1. There's usually time at the beginning or end where you get to meet the other people interested in the topic. 2. The format can vary. It can be one person talking, a panel.

When I got to the Recurse Center I wanted to write a lot of Rust, and get back into frontend development. I found a good balance between the two by writing an SPA with a background Web Worker in Rust.
I had the idea of making an automatic Paint-By-Number app, where you upload a picture and the app would turn it into one of these:
I didn’t know if this app existed before starting, so I googled around, and found ~2.

Earlier this week I was writing some code that used a statically linked C library, and I was trying to use a default the library documentation used in its examples, DEFAULT_CAMERA_CONFIGURATION.
I was able to use everything else in the library itself just fine, but when I’d try to use this constant, my program wouldn’t compile and give a linker error instead SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND.
When you compile code into a library or an executable, the names (variables, functions, constants) are called symbols.

RC Day 3 Not that much to talk about today.
In the morning, I had a minor epiphany about wasm importing this morning after some sleep. rust-wasm-template makes an npm package, and create-wasm-app can import it directly as JS, whereas rust-wepback-template makes a wasm bundle that your js has to import like wasm. *I think*, and I’m not sure yet, that’s why I’m trying both.
I created an event tomorrow afternoon to meet Rust interested people.

RC Day 2 Note: This post isn’t going to be as informative, more stream of thought/work-like.
I wasn’t as productive today. I didn’t sleep well last night, and pretty much didn’t move on my Rust/Wasm project. I also tired myself out talking&pairing a lot (but I want to get practice!)
There are chatbots that match you for pair programming and for coffee chats, and I signed up for both of them.

The morning and RC itself The first half of the day was overwhelming because there were a lot of people to meet and talk to. But RC is really nice! Lots of nice people, and nice in a way I hadn’t experienced before.
First, there were a few intro speeches. I really liked the Social Rules sketches because it’s one thing to hear “no well actuallies”, it’s another to watch an example play out.
