Jeff Smith To make the SIMD Considered Harmful argument rigorously, you'd have to engage with how people really code SIMD, including tasks which aren't just thinly disguised vector tasks. Instead, we got "I coded saxpy in SIMD and vectors and vectors won, QED". That's our Davey!

If someone made an Open Source friendly ASIC for video encoding (where you have actual control of the encoder), FFmpeg users would buy tons. But instead you get black box chips with huge binary blob SDKs, horrible APIs etc.

I'm proud to present Mecrisp Stellaris 3.0.0 with contributions by Paul Jewell and Jan Bramkamp, including a port to the microbit v2! codeberg.org/clausecker/mec…

Don't argue: build Prescientific and preindustrial thought tied truth to authority and tradition. "We've always done it this way." "The king decrees it." "We know this is how it's done." The scientific and industrial revolutions shattered this mindset. Suddenly, outsiders could

Trying to write some type-generic C code today. Aka, let's dive into macro hell.

I love algorithms that check the bit patterns of pointers to do fun stuff. Always drives high-level language programmers nuts.

In less than two weeks: SWAPFEST July 20th, 2025 swapfest.berlin "[...] the goal of the Berlin Swapfest is for people to bring electronics, equipment, and tools they no longer use but want to bring to a good home."

Functional programs are in an important sense “lower-level” and can be more aggressively optimized than imperative languages like C (there’s a reason C compilers convert to SSA). The reason why functional languages are slow is because functional data structures are slow.

Manager in CC zu setzen ist so ein Kindergartenniveau. "Mein Manager ist viel stärker als deiner." "Mein Manager kann deinen zusammenschlagen!"

It appears that you can actually brew tea in a mocca pot and it actually tastes kind of ok.
