What is a former q3 champion doing these days? I'm genuinely curious. Since you are on hacker news I assume you do something with software. Any skills that you picked up back then …

Firmware is using cache as RAM (e.g. https://www.coreboot.org/images/6/6c/LBCar.pdf ) to do early init, like DRAM training. I guess later things in the boot chain rely on DRAM bein…

> I actually think I'm going to rush out and buy a Windows ARM computer right now. If you have an Apple Silicon machine you can run a Windows Insider build via UTM in a VM.

Probably a OpenJDK Zero VM build. That's a configuration without JIT or template interpreter, but a "plain" C++ switch dispatch interpreter that requires no runtime code generation…

Sure, but neither javac (the Java to bytecode compiler) or HotSpot are doing that. The former tries to preserve as much as possible, and for the latter interprocedure analysis is t…

Mac Mini running Asahi Linux might be an option

Thanks for the context! What's the difference between the stage2 and stage3 binary? Does stage1 produce different binaries for the same input compared to stage2/stage3?

GraalVM will have a stable release that includes Apple Silicon support next week. Glad to see the snapshot did the job for you though :-)

I'm new to mechanical and split keyboards, but so far the moonlander has been great. Well, in the beginning it was a bit of a learning curve, but coming from the ergodox that shoul…

My pessimism tends to agree with you. OTOH social distancing and wearing masks has shown recently that (most) people are fine with changing their behavior, if necessary.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil. There are lower hanging fruits. Avoiding animal products in your diet is your best bet as individual to fight climate change: https:…

CoreCLR started to implemented Tiered Compilation https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/... It's experimental currently, no profile guided optimizations _yet_…

> [...] which is what for example .NET does. .NET is the platform. There are different implementations for it doing different things. JIT compilation is still different to AOT even…

Targeting a stack machine is much easier when writing a compiler for the first time, but real-world machines are generally register based. In general this is true, here however, we…

no, blazor uses a Mono version that interprets at runtime .NET. AOT is in the pipeline though

`jaotc` integrates with the HotSpot VM, while Substrate VM provides its own runtime (GC etc.) and intentionally supports only a subset of the JVM features. FWIW, both use Graal as …
