Okay, so it's more about IMM representation within the bytecode rather than some memory addressing mode.

In the "Why MIPS?" section: > some have shitty addressing modes necessitating that they would be slow (RISCV) What is wrong with the RISC-V addressing modes?

I wonder of you can calculate when it will finish by counting the instructions and then pin the date it will finish and stream the completion.

Sorry, but what makes a version "fancy"? Do you work with luddites that just hate upgrades, or are you having legitimate backward compatibility concerns/issues?

Sorry, but the second largest "language" on that graph is HTML/CSS. I mean that's not even a programming language.

The stand-up is an opportunity to call out things that are blocking you, not for giving status updates. I got Scrum certified for resume padding, and thought it was gonna be easy, but I was blown away by the things I "knew had to be pa

If your stand-up meeting is more than 15 minutes long you are doing it wrong. It's called stand-up for a reason. https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html#daily-scrum > The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect pr

Well I think that comes from top-down micro-managing organizations that just want to call themselves "scrum". They want to do what they want to do and will dress it up in whatever language is buzzword compliant. A director of engi

Factor is a lot of fun. I have a dream of one day building an OS from a Forth bootloader all the way up to a highlevel language. Do wish it had a more expressive type system though.

I meant LLM. Though LLVM is very cool, it's not revolutionary.

I don’t want the community hijacking my library by fossilizing some implementation detail. If you want to fork it, own it and do it, but don’t force that on me by using something you weren’t meant to and then bitch and moan when I break you

I agree. Though children with split custody I wish was something that was considered a use case more often.

That seems slower than getting out. Only advantage I can see is for people with mobility issues (thought even then leaning out would be a challenge) and making it less likely to have bank robberies.

So looked into this in Wikipedia and it seems like it is "z/Architecture" which is basically a 64-bit extension of the s/390 instruction set which was the evolution of the s/360 which was in a sense the first instru

How many patches come into Linux a day? How hard would it be to do parallel development for a while? Just apply the fixes as you slowly evolve your codebase. Not a hard right, but more of a gentle peel away.

One of the benefits of switching to any non-x86 platform would be forcing code to be cleaner and not have hidden assumptions about the platform and would thus be able to henceforth be easily compiled for any architecture. I'm sure ther

What are the material differences between the BSD and Apache? Is it just the fact that it's not litterally BSD licensed?

They don't need to learn Rust. They could reach out and get help from someone that does. I'm sure the Rusteceans would be happy to if it got more support for C.

This is tragic when you think about all the people that died of obesity in the mean time. By now, the patent would have expired. Many more people would have survived Covid.

I mean if you wrote it purely in assembler, or pacman inside of Excel, or in a fun and interesting way. Purely functional, provably correct. There are lots of reasons to share it with others.

Minix is sadly dead. Minix on RISC-V seems like it would have been a pedagogical gold mine and yet it hasn’t happened last I checked.

That's not an apt comparison because it could be the non-UI portion of that. VS Code would be even faster if it was a native app.

No, any ISA pretty much should be equally good for any type of workload. If you are doing assembly programming then it makes a difference but if you were doing something in Python or Unity it really isn’t going to matter. This is more about

Having a bespoke widget tool kit with themeing etc uses more memory and cycles instead of just being a simple app with the native desktop widgets.
