Now that is news, and a much, much worse thing when it’s an expressed policy than when it’s “please don’t submit a tiny change to only documentation as a PR that’s just annoying”.

It must be an allusion to Stalingrad and presumably the battle there where the red army beat the crap out of the nazis, so you’re not wrong.

You’re joking but this is literally a plan I have

Look, it’s my favourite energy drink Peal Doul!

Joking aside that image is disgusting? Why is it so disgusting?

You joke but I realised I feel exactly the same about this as I do about the choice of C++, which is: deep sigh ok sure

This framing made me read the comment in the link as a transphobic joke (“ha ha I won’t accept your change of gender ie will misgender you”) which would have been a pretty smoking gun if left there, and in case anyone else makes the same incorrect interpretation I’d like to warn them that they’re talking about grammatical gender, in the PR.

I think it’s a stretch to call this transphobia; if anything it’s good ol’fashioned sexism, but a pretty tame one.

Apparently the instruction set is off-brand MIPS64?!

I’m not an American but my impression is the Supreme Court is mainly designed as a last bulwark to ensure the US never under any circumstances ever does anything remotely good and this isn’t exactly improving that impression.

I’m a bit worried about their choice of name

Sweden’s mostly on Meta Messenger. WhatsApp is the foreign exchange student protocol.

Can you (or a human) expand NPM, presumably not the Node Package Manager?

I tried but it turns out writing device drivers it very very boring

Has anyone been able to find an actual description of what this does? I clicked two layers deep and neither explains the details. It does sound like they’re doing CPU scheduling in the hardware, which is cool and makes some sense, but the descriptions are too vague to explain what the hell this is except “more parallelism goes brrrr” and it’s not clear to me why current GPUs aren’t already that.

The hell? This is precisely what atomic desktops were supposed to save us from!

I’m planning on making Linux from super scratch where I start with the kernel and write every other component myself. ETA: 9000000 years

Oh no we’ve gone full circle

The only part of a JIT compiler I don’t understand how it works is the part that swaps in compiled routines during interpretation. That’s the point I’m unsure of how to write in Rust because it seems like it would require very custom control flow. It might be that you can handle this by storing your compiled instructions somewhere using the C calling convention and then having Rust call your compiled function like a C function.

In essence, what you have is a Rust program that has to produce machine code (easy!), store it somewhere in RAM (also easy, I think), and then somehow call it (how???). The final part seems like the difficult one since passing execution into arbitrary memory they just wrote is just the sort of thing programs aren’t normally supposed to do.

Cool! Thanks!

According to the readme, that’s Lua bindings and not the language itself, that’s probably why it’s not on the list since it wasn’t written in Rust.

Shows how much I know! (Nothing)
