Functionally, Bitcode delivers – a .bc file can be compiled into any architecture LLVM supports. I have tested a few supported architecture, and it worked like a charm. Stability o…

It does exist in LLVM and is called Bitcode, a binary format for the LLVM IR - https://llvm.org/docs/BitCodeFormat.html Apple used to require apps submitted to its iOS App Store to…

«Mates rates» is a big problem in Australia, indeed. At best, it is collusion, but typically it is corruption. I have recently gone through the entire chain of complaints, the ombu…

No, technically it can't. An individual writing to an MP is rarely sufficient by itself. Australia’s embedded network landscape is a peculiarly intricate tangle of nuance, complexi…

Performance gap is not closing in specimens commercially available today , and the promises of it «happening any moment from now» are now indistinguishable from monthly horoscopes.…

Moreover, apartment dwelling residential customers connected to embedded networks (many new apartment blocks in NSW, Victoria and Queensland) are not eligible for the Solar Share O…

There are not.

x86 is an ancient design mired in legacy and problems, so Intel/AMD Intel and AMD had to make it work for a modern world even if that involved kludges, band-aids, and crutches. Whi…

Sun was one of the few RISC design houses who stubbornly resisted NUMA in favour of SMP, which they have perfected in the hardware and in the software (Solaris). The «Solaris inter…

Well. The Latin version of Roman is Romanus, which is believed to have descended from Romulus, one of the two legendary founders of Rome. The popularity of Roman in Eastern and Wes…

It is exactly the other way round: JSON-LD has largely displaced and superseded RDF/XML in many web applications.

kowtow (叩頭) is a Cantonese word borrowed into English in the early 19th century.

I see Swift as a more approachable version of Rust. If somebody is mulling over Rust but finds it too difficult to grasp, they could start off with Swift first and then move over t…

Not just interoperability with Objective C but with C (full) and C++ (increasingly better but not full) as well. Swift is also interoperable with different versions of itself court…

The vast majority of virtual machines, including JVM and .NET, are stack based. And, whilst compiling C and C++ the JVM / .NET CLR byte codes is very uncommon, both VM's have becom…

Rotating register windows are a distinguishing feature of the Berkeley RISC design, which predates VLIW by at least a decade.

Once again – respectfully – this remains largely twaddle as the facts themselves state otherwise. Even at the microarchitecture level, the hard part is not raw CISC-ness but irregu…

Respectfully, this is nonsense. «More CISC-y» does not by itself mean «harder to optimise for». For compilers, what matters far more is how regular the ISA is: how uniform the regi…
