I'm hoping it's like Apple Pay, where I choose and authorize with Face ID + button. It shouldn't be passively readable. Anyways, it will be awhile before it applies in California. CA DMV is not an early adopter of this.

I use Apple Pay quite a lot and I'm looking forward to vaccination record support in iOS 15. But I don't think I have a use case for this. If I did, it would be my choice; I don't particularly like do not need to unlock, sho

When I worked in Italy, I learned that Italy is pretty much the best place in the world to eat Italian food. The variety there was amazing too. On the other hand, they were crap at Chinese food and couldn't figure out the humble hambur

I'm actually working on an LLVM backend. I'd read the Dragon Book before, long before, but I think my real education was the LLVM Developer Meeting tutorials. LLVM is pass oriented but broadly there are front ends (Clang, Rust, Fo

Your notes, while honestly very good, don't cover data flow analysis or Single Static Assignment (SSA) which is what LLVM IR [1] uses and which are the tools that the article's optimizations are based on. Hell, LLVM backend engi

These optimizations are on LLVM IR into LLVM IR. So basically every backend benefits. I don't think most backend engineers would even understand them. I don't.

South Dakota voters passed medical marijuana, Measure 26. They are still a very red, conservative state. I think legalization is, if anything, overdue.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. That isn't even a criticism of regular expressions nor is this a criticism of functional progr

Apple has been the longtime LLVM stalwart, starting from when they first brought out Chris Lattner from the University of Illinois. There are whole subsystems which they've driven such as GlobalISel. However with the M1, Apple has move

The Intel post didn't say "Other compilers also don't upstream everything". So you shouldn't put that in quotes. However, that is an actual argument. This isn't GCC where that would be required. This is LLVM

No, BBC is not official . The C stands for corporation. It is a national broadcaster like PBS.

Price elasticity of demand. Uber’s market wouldn’t just shrink with higher (fair) prices; it would evaporate. Consumers are getting something for nothing and the Saudis are getting nothing for something. But the VCs and Kalenick probably d

Yes, Overleaf. I'd always had LaTeX envy but when faced with installation and configuration, I gave up again and again. Overleaf solved all that.

by CalChris 5y ago
With respect to LaTeX, I only started to use it semi-recently in the cloud and I'd recommend it to anyone (but only in the cloud). I don't want to master an editor anymore. I want to get work done. Pretty much the same with LaTeX.

The point wasn't just about SpaceX. "A whole industry bootstrapping itself to make semi-conductors doubling every 18 months". That semiconductor manufacturing industry is largely overseas and has been for awhile.

Well, I guess Proton is kind of out of the international heavy lift business now. It has had only 2 launches this decade. The Proton-M could do 2.35M lbs of thrust. The Saturn V could do 7.5M lbs. So this Super Heavy + Raptors must be in th

This reminds me of Robin Williams. Disney did roughly the same thing to him. He did Aladdin (highest-grossing of 1992) with the proviso that Disney couldn't sell merchandise. They did. He didn't sue but he refused to work with D

I like this but you might want to up the z score for LeBron. GM is 2500 plus norms. LeBron has 4 rings and 4 MVPs. He would be Magnus level or at least one of the few who hit 2800 (there have only been 13). NB: I'm a huge LeBron fan an

I've played NBA players a few times. I was a quite good YMCA level player. What you can't imagine is just how fast they are. But what most people really don't see on TV is how strong they are. My brother blocked a European pr

I live in Oakland and it isn't 2.5 hours to go to a nursery for plants. Go to Broadway Terrace or even Ace Hardware on Grand.
