A C compiler is easier to bootstrap than a Rust compiler.

The compiler doesn't know the implementation of strlen, it only has its header. At runtime it might be different than at compile time (e.g. LD_PRELOAD=...). For this to be optimized you need link time optimization.

For people who enjoy these blogs, you would definitely like the Julia REPL as well. I used to play with this a lot to discover compiler things. For example: $ julia julia> function f(n) total = 0 for x

Question is whether the space is competitive enough. Other SOTA models are made by companies whose business model already is selling ads.

The metaschemas are useful but not strict enough. They don't set `additionalProperties: false`, which is great if you wanna extend the schema with your own properties, but it won't catch simple typos. For example, the following is

The best free CI system in the world has macOS 15 runners running at 75% capacity due to a background process that consumes 100% CPU [1]. The problem is known to them since May but not fixed half a year later. [1] https://github.

In a call `execve("/my/script", ...)` of course the kernel has to figure out how to run it, there is no shell involved. As for scripts vs elf executables, there's not much of a difference between the shebang line an

The xkcd comic does not apply. Goes to show that a very big block holding everything is equally bad.

Yeah, developers should specify what language and dialect a project is written in. In practice though, support for that in build systems is cumbersome. For example in CMake the natural variable is CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD, but it's implement

This is not the case. They are discussing the default value of `g++ -std=...`. That does not complicate bootstrapping as long as the C++ sources of GCC are compatible with older and newer versions of the C++ standard.

Seems like this is not using glibc's hwcaps (where shared libraries were located in microarch specific subdirs). To me hwcaps feels like a very unfortunate feature creep of glibc now. I don't see why it was ever added, given that

They bought Komoot, laid off 80% of the staff, but they still did a major redesign of the app and website afterwards. I expected outages, but so far it works like before.

Is libgccjit used a lot? I think I have only seen it in emacs.

Hm, `-ffat-lto-objects` exists, and tools like `gcc-ar` and `llvm-ar`. Linker plugins can work with these objects.

I would be really happy if instead of a dumb tool like ar -r libexample.a f.o g.o it was like creating shared libraries ld --static -o libexample.a f.o g.o -L /somewhere/lib -ldep1 -ldep2 -rpath /somewhere&#x2F

It should be possible to better explain in IKEA style how to perform partitioning with swapping. In its current form it can make people fall into a quadratic complexity trap.

For Python (or PyPI) this is easier, since their data is available on Google BigQuery [1], so you can just run SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.pypi.distribution_metadata` ORDER BY length(version) DESC LIMIT 10 The winner is: h
