Whipped up a lil' instant search demo val.town/v/maxm/simpleW…
Finally did it: Val Town Town blog.val.town/blog/val-town-… No need for feature requests when you can implement the platform on the platform.
Yet again I am left wondering how much money Github makes on Github Actions crons running in unused forks.

📰 New Blog Post: How we lock your dependencies Now every val gets its own Deno.lock file. Excellent work & blog post by @mxmcd 🔥 blog.val.town/blog/lockfiles/
My quest to reduce the number of extra requests to @ValDotTown's esm.town is coming to an end:
The improvement to the response times (log scale) of @stevekrouse's Static wordle stevekrouse-staticwordle.web.val.run after adding worker re-use: blog.val.town/blog/http-prev… And the smaller drop in volatility to the far right is adding deno.lock and better caching.
A deep dive into NodeJS spawn performance: blog.val.town/blog/node-spaw… And an indirect attempt at baiting @jarredsumner into helping me more deeply understand the performance differences here.

The new @ValDotTown http runtime is awesome. PGlite (WASM Postgres) cold start takes ~1.2s on old runtime, but with new reuse of a Deno process subsequent requests return in ~200ms 🔥 Run this, you will see the counter incrementing on each request: val.town/v/samwillis/pg…
On certain versions of NodeJS, if you connect to an abstract unix domain socket ("\0foo"), it adds null byte padding to the end of the address, making it v hard to understand how to connect from elsewhere! github.com/nodejs/node/is… This was very tricky to figure out :/
