Just as a naive consumer of its facilities, I find LLVM produces binaries from C and ObjC code which are smaller and faster than their GCC equivalents. I'm attempting to write my own front-end as well, which is easier than I had expected. I

Apple was born out of obsession and makes some of the finest hardware around, running BSD with a touch of class that is unrivalled. But as my granny would say, there are no pockets in a shroud... poor Steve. It's nice to have a sexy laptop,

Only just realised Eircom has blocked access to TPB in Ireland at the request of the 4 major record labels. The fact that this HN post is tangential to the issue of music piracy annoys me. Another step closer to censorship.

I bought the book ("Getting Real") when it came out and it brought home a lot of truisms of starting up in the 21st century. But 'Firing all the workaholics' isn't as simple as that: I've worked in places where people with no lives (and mor

This will obviously leave me continuously trying to access hacker news while preventing me from doing so. My continued attempts will block all other operations [i.e. work] hence creating a race condition. Far preferable is the event-driven
