Yes, it’s defined by ARM. Though the unsafe implementation of speculative execution is obviously by Apple.

The mistakes are already happening. There are RISC-V processors being shipped with unfinished extensions and weird MMUs and now Linux has to decide whether to support those or only support finished standards

Enyo was a very cool framework for WebOS and it had a web based IDE, which was crazy innovative at the time. Nothing like it. A shame it was gutted by HP.

Reproducible builds aren't really that powerful if nobody audits what is being reproduced. And manual auditing is hard and tiring. You'd have to limit the number of updates to how many you can securely review over time. Or "p

Agreed. I think Itanium gets a lot of unnecessary slack. It really tried some exciting new ideas and clean concepts. Not all of those concepts were much of a win, but with the first chip arriving years late then there’s no wonder it was per

The influence of Alpha on modern instruction sets like ARM64 and RISC-V is tremendous. It’s just sad it had to die for this to happen.

Yeah I’m sure this is garbled by a VP. Sounds like they want more control over the CI process and keep more of that process private.

This is an awesome explanation about how to port a real (and tricky) native project to WASM/Emscripten. Sadly, the game itself seems to crash in Safari after walking around for a bit.
