   He does sound snarky, but then again, some days Google is indeed featured in 5+ stories on the front page. Didn't NH have some smart algorithm to prevent that?

    "If Ryzen is more than that, I don't see it taking a big bite out of the market. Which isn't surprising, as Intel did just halve the margins on their enthusiast parts..." Either it is more than that, and it will take hug

    Of course they aren't. Working on a slaughter house requires gear, starting from chainmail gloves so you don't lose fingers and on. Have you ever entered a sawmill? Don't get me started. So, if Tesla is a higher injury place

    Maybe redirect it? Let llvm / gcc handle the backend if you are sure the syntax is where it should be? It will give you closure. The project will live on. What you wanted to accomplish, people writing in your own language, will live on
