Definitely. I wasn't aware about constant time constraints at the time.

I was working on reimplementing the WebRTC stack in JavaScript a long time ago, never finished. The crypto folks at Mozilla (ekr@) suggested "maybe don't do that for dTLS."

I encourage folks with a PlayStation 5 (or 4) to participate in the blackout by unplugging their console for the week of August 23 at 7:00 PM your local time and run to August 31 at 7:00 PM your local time. Hopefully that helps send a messa

Neat. XLA predates MLIR. Interesting stories there. You'd have to stop by the Bay Area LLVM monthly meetup to hear them. :-X > So if XLA already uses LLVM, why is our approach different? Uses MLIR, XLA does not. > So… what is the

I was able to use Claude to translate a few thousand lines of assembler from one syntax+toolchain to another. Process was definitely iterative; had to keep adding a few rules along the lines of "don't do this...here's the eq

The Linux kernel prefers GAS (or clang) w/ the C preprocessor. Luckily most of clang's assembler unit tests (and LLVM's MC layer unit tests) also use GAS style syntax.

I like the inline asm sanitizer; probably could be extracted out of Fil-C.

Final Fantasy FMVs set to edgy nu metal. Man, I _had_ a limewire shirt (somewhere); they interviewed at my college. Where is that important piece of history?

I find this point to be generally why C can typically beat C++ in terms of code size; generic functions operating on void* are much less type safe, but the tradeoff is code size. Those template instantiations add up.

I spent a bit of time implementing parts of a C runtime for the brief tenure I had maintaining LLVM's libc. I quickly came the realization that a lot of the interfaces that made it all the way to standardization were trash. How the l

It's a shame we never got a package manager for C (or C++). EDIT: perhaps I should have been clearer; by not having one early on, we now have multiple competing package managers, with no clear winner. Responses prove that point.

A long time ago, I wrote a small chapter in a WebGL book on asm.js. https://webglinsights.github.io/ It was fun to see the rise of asm.js, which was a precursor to Web Assembly. Some of the early demos were so cool to see;

I run it in a docker container behind traefik in another container. Getting that wired up and working in podman was quite the challenge. Docker container mounts my media as read only.
