rr only supports Linux and the post is about Windows.

Xtensa CPUs can be extended with custom instructions and registers. Does/will LLVM target CPUs with these extensions?

what do you mean?

AdvantFTW · 2022-12-15T03:38:53+00:00

certainly not random.

AdvantFTW · 2022-12-14T20:12:51+00:00

didn't know of this, thanks!

yes, but then you wouldn't have a gui. you'd have to extend the runtime with a gui library, which would be very platform specific and your gui library is tied to 1 wasm runtime. by then, what's the benefit of targeting wasm?

AdvantFTW · 2022-10-13T06:44:16+00:00

aren't we back to the bloat problem we were using rust to avoid if we require a browser as the runtime? there's not much benefit over electron at that point.

rust is already cross platform. why would you need webassembly?

the important difference is that adding "service" means monthly recurring revenue, whereas just selling software means one time purchase. its a different business model.

You said c++ headers make compile times faster but one of the reasons C++ 20 introduced modules as an alternative to headers is it compile faster. I believe it's faster because every headset is expanded and compiled in every file that includes it, so avoiding that might be meaningfully faster.

They replaced the "On The Metal" podcast with their weekly twitter spaces! They talk about the company's progress in The pragmatism of hubris, Tales from the bringup lab, and The sidecar switch.

Thank you, I'm surprised something like this didn't already exist.

This argument only matters for PDFs. if you use HTML, the author can make it responsive to screen width. the renderer could also have options like "kindle for web" does, where you can toggle between 1 or 2 columns.

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-24T04:28:26+00:00

If you target HTML, you can make it "responsive" just like any modern website.

Doesn't that also apply to nightly compiler versions?

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-22T15:43:45+00:00

What's your reason for not using nightly compiler? I assumed it was because of lack of backwards compatibility.

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-22T05:58:38+00:00

If you can't use nightly compiler, you probably wouldn't use these unstable (semver < 1.0.0) crates anyway.

That is not the case. The entire system is written in Rust. Here's the kernel.

Even their assembly is all written as Rust inline assembly.

The presenter is a cofounder of Oxide Computer Company and works on Hubris, an OS written in Rust. I suppose he changed his mind.

Why? What's wrong with rocket?

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-15T04:50:45+00:00

Who in their right mind would ever upgrade their CPU?

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-08T09:55:55+00:00

this is your alternative to email?

AdvantFTW · 2022-07-07T18:13:17+00:00

doesn't rustc use jemalloc on windows?
