It's a JIT nowadays. Admittedly an extremely simple one, to minimize compile times and maintenance overhead. You can get substantial performance improvements by using guards though…

Maybe it's just a regional thing, but it's showing 78 euros for the paperback for me. Plus I bought the paperback recently at that price too.

You can get it direct from Elsevier for ~78 euros: https://shop.elsevier.com/books/risc-v-system-on-chip-design...

You're right, and yet it's also true that existing institutions have ossified. There is immense inertia.

You're right that a lot of material really does require a physical book. Anything even remotely technical. That said, I would argue that a voice actor is far more significant than …

The same Oman Trump was recently threatening to blow up? Heh.

It's weird for physicists to complain about nuclear weapons. They did it. Own it.

For all its faults, you won’t get a rug-pull like this with OSS CAD Suite and something like the ECP5, especially as a hobbyist.

Embedded developers often suffer under archaic toolchains. There's plenty of reasons for that, but one of them is UB: a newer version of the compiler can completely change an embed…

While true (beyond 30-50km/h), that assumes that cars are driving at a steady state. Obviously, cities with much more stop-and-go require more revving of engines. Acoustic tyres ar…

Huh, you're right. Apparently it's still considered experimental (even though Google uses it in production) so it's not in the User Manual. There's this: https://github.com/sbcl/sb…

The only decent Prolog book out there, IMNSHO, is "Clause and Effect" by Clocksin. Maybe some of the later chapters might help? All the other books that I looked at were pretty awf…

You're probably aware of it, but if not: Uiua is much easier to understand in this regard.

They added arenas to SBCL recently. SBCL has a moving GC, and the Common Lisp spec was finalized in the 1990s. Okay, this is just Lisp being Lisp, but it's still an example...

I suppose there are worse things than my scribblings sounding like a late-night kitchen gizmo ad. :)

Similar with Babylon 5, although the CG has not aged as well.

That is how attrition war works. Until it doesn’t.

> Some people don't, evidently. Other people do. I like how this can be interpreted two ways, depending on whether you place loved ones above governance, or vice versa.

Pikuma.com has a good one.
