The only project that compares 1:1 is Pythran: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/pythran Pythran is fairly nice, and it really does work. I tried it last year and it compiles down to modifiable templated C++. I was

Relax, my friend. HN is just a bunch of news stories hosted on a single server, one of many. There's a bunch of places you can join if you want to actually have conversations, every day. Join Discord communities for the hobbies and tec

I added Nim support to an edge platform for that reason. I think it fits in with the others. Crucially it boils down to machine code and can be debugged with GDB.

Audio is real-time and performance is everything. Freezing tracks should take the least amount of time possible and no skipping should occur unless you are using the most complex modular VST out there. With WASM being like 1/3 of nativ

Very occasionally I need Windows for something, and then a VM would be nice, but Windows has been growing in size lately - so much that I don't want to use it anymore. So now I am trying to make do with just Linux. Otherwise, I am usin

It is mostly children playing these games, and yes we absolutely should save our children from gambling-based games.

If this can produce static executables on Linux we may have a winner. We are in the process of selecting a language for $product and we need to pick one everyone is happy with, that boils down to static ELFs. My pick would have been Nim or

Just build a tiny application alongside an open source Varnish instance, and use it as a local backend. It's "free" if you have decent latency to the area of Internet you care about. For example, my latency is just fine to al

VB6 was the last "real" VB program before .NET obsoleted it. I used it for decades when I was young, and I have never again used anything that was as good, as simple, as precise and as feature-complete. Debugging in VB6 was incred

The awful performance you can be stuck with when you can only use emulators and v8 is going to come back to haunt some of you, I believe. It is indeed easy to sell something like this, as it looks easy to work with, the same way that no-cod

That was quite interesting. I learned a lot just by watching that, and it was an incredible improvement at the same time. It just shows that you can greatly improve something if you really set your mind to it.

If it's just a binned 12900K without AVX512 then what place does it have? People are better off with AMD Ryzen if you're going to be stuck with AVX2 anyway.

If you disable JavaScript on the page it reads fine. I have it disabled by default.

Some of those clever loops end up calling memcpy anyway because the compiler deems it to be faster, but yes. For better safety there needs to be bounds checking.

Last time I tried to cross compile RISC-V with Rust it just didn't work at all. I even know how linkers work and tried my best with custom linker scripts and arguments, but the toolchain would not build a rv64gc. Perhaps they have fixe

fmt is a must if you can get away with using it. On smaller systems you should try strf, as it produces very small memory footprint and doesn't blow up your binaries. It is 5x smaller than fmt in footprint.

I wish it had something like a reply counter. I understand that creating and maintaining a notification system is not ideal. But if there is a counter for the number of replies I've gotten, and the number is larger than yesterday, then

There seems to be a lot of guessing by the author. VMs that run on the CPU have the same performance as everyone else, except when you trap into the hypervisor, and especially on buggy CPUs. Now, there are a lot of buggy CPUs out there righ

While I agree, we shouldn't discount one less RTT for encrypted connections. Latency is a problem that never really goes away, and we can only try to reduce RTTs.

I don't know if I'm the right guy to answer this, but I've written a lot of assembly on the side as part of VM and emulation projects. I think the first time I really understood how simple some things can be was when I wrote
