Make sure to check out the new chapter on parallelism too that is linked from the release notes: https://v2.ocaml.org/releases/5.0/manual/parallelism.html

Can the stage1 wasm binary be reproduced by the stage2 or stage3 executable? Aside from a "trusting trust" type of attack that seems fine, and every modern distro relies on some bootstrap binary for C compilers anyway (usually old

Interesting that it does ECC on blocks of 64 byte instead of 64-bit, freeing up some of the bits in ECC RAM to be used for other things like extra tag bits.

You can use OKLch and APCA with that huetone website. See the gear icon in top right. I don't think your efforts are obsolete though, the 2 approaches could be combined IIUC your approach is based on computing values based on color sci

Zenbones allows to define custom color schemes by providing just a few base colours and overrides. You could try creating one based on penumbra to have both lightness contrast and distinct hue. However note that it is quite difficult to get

I like that this uses OKLab instead of hsv/HSL that some colormaps use (which are not based on color theory). It would be nice if this used the upcoming WCAG3 contrast algorithm https://www.myndex.com/APCA/ and en

FWIW comments are quite an important part of reading code, it should not be hidden, at least when comments are used for documentation purposes. It shouldn't be as prominent as the main code, but should be pretty close to it. Very few c

Would BPCA[0] be a good compromise? If you pick color combinations that pass both the APCA defined level and the WCAG2 level then it should be "compliant on paper" with WCAG2, and actually readable in practice thanks to also being

* exceptions for error handling: you can also use the 'result' type (an OK of 'a|Error of 'b type in the stdlib) if you don't like exceptions. At least the function's signatures will give more details in how it

In that case interoperability with Go libraries might be better: just running on the same runtime wouldn't bring many advantages (other than having a single GC instead of 2) without being able to easily call libraries written in anothe

I think the challenge will be how to convert existing C FFI/stubs to work correctly with code that wants to take advantage of multicore(domain) capabilities. i.e. previously some code could've in theory assumed it only ever gets c

It would be better if it used fstatat instead of regular stat calls. On a deeply nested directory it can make a difference (e.g. a single-threaded 'find' easily beats a parallel 'fd' with warm caches on my machine, &#x27

Actually looks like if you pass multiple files to zstd it'll compress them individually, it won't create an archive, so tar or sqlite format would still be useful there.

`zstd` and `zlib` as the only 2 supported formats would be enough for me (zstd for state of the art, fast compression and decompression, with choice of high compression ratios if needed; and zlib for backward compatibility/portability)

by edwintorok 5y ago
Would be interesting if this was expanded to support more compression formats. E.g. zstd. Gzip is quite an old format and zstd is a lot quicker to decompress.

Yeah I was sort of expecting to have accelerated crypto, given the EAR export declaratioj I had to sign in order.l to buy this. If the CPU doesn't have any crypto implemented, what does? Some signature checking in the firmware?
