In the UK a CIC (Community Interest Company) is an option, which can legally oblige the company to act in the interest of "the community they serve". I think in the USA a benefit corporation might be similar. Alternatively if Komo

There's a few of these floating around that are generally missing something - recent syscalls, types, etc. Thank you for such a complete one!

I can confirm I don't have that installed. I'm using this: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime Edit: actually Blender performance is decent, but the kernels take ~10 minutes to compile.

I'm using RocM OpenCL right now, which I believe is the approved option, or will be. Personally I've not had any issues with it - I can certainly use Blender with it, although the performance right now is so-so (I only have a chea

Most DSPs I've worked with have an assortment of really specific extra instructions added for the particular application. I suspect these DSPs are similar - adding a new codec probably means adding a few more instructions, or even th

I had an interesting time writing a JIT for Piet some time ago. Piet is a pretty weird language in a few non-obvious ways. From what I remember: * Execution moves between blocks of colour. Flood fill algorithms are a valid compiler optimisa

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I'd quite like something that collects commentary about the state of countries around the word, but I'm lacking decent sources, especially for outside of the west. Have
