Yes, I can see how it would make sense to be able to set this in pyproject.toml (typically for private package) uv is still quite new though. Perhaps you can open an issue and ask …

Maybe not exactly what you need (sticky) but you can set UV_NO_BINARY=1 See https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/environment/#uv_no_binar...

An excellent article. Bill Gates himself posted a comment: https://www.pagetable.com/?p=43#comment-1033

The way I read it, and I may be wrong, is that they will retain the _interpreted_ results, but now the raw and complete data.

I did basically everything you mention, back in the day, although on a C64. In many ways, things were much easier back then: Direct access to most of the hardware, flat memory layo…

Very clever and great article! But it sounds pretty easy to write a cracker for it: Just rewrite the machine code to jump over the check. Or did I miss anything? Edit: Guess it dep…

It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics one should study the masters and not the pupils. — N.H. Abel (1802–1829)

The BFR runs on a mix of liquid oxygen and methane, according to Wikipedia. Ignoring obvious scalability problems, wouldn’t it be possible to manufacture that with a pretty decent …

Truffle + Graal looks awesome. I looked at some old ZipPy slides (JIT compiler for Python) here: http://socalpls.github.io/archive/2013nov/slides/zippy.pdf They have an example whe…

What is your impression of libjit? It looks really nice. I've only tried GNU Lightning, and I made Python bindings for it (although, today I would have used cffi to interface with …

Indeed I had already linked to your really cool project at the end. Perhaps I should have made it stand out more. The AST approach is more stable, as the Python bytecode can change…

Anyway, I've made a follow-up post that shows how to JIT compile a subset of Python, directly based on the previous techniques: https://csl.name/post/python-compiler/

Maybe I need to reread LISP, then. I agree that SICP is laser-focused on Scheme, and thus leaves out general compilation techniques.

I do see your point, but I tried to make it clear that this is compilation in an extremely restricted sense: It specializes and executes a function at runtime. And I wanted to cove…

Is it really that friendly when starting out, though? I found it brilliant, but quite the challenging read. I'd rather just read chapters four and five of SICP [1] and move on to Q…

Almost always in evenings, whenever I have time and feel like it. If you're a student, you're probably hosed with deadlines, so pick very small things to try out — things like real…

Brainfuck is simple enough that you could just write out the machine code directly in memory. I think that would make a really good exercise. I made one based on GNU Lightning to J…

Depending on how you plan to use it, a bitset may be more efficient (at least memory wise). E.g. https://gist.github.com/cslarsen/1590498

How can the results be old when the paper is from 2017?
