Calling conventions are a compiler feature, and in some languages like zig, will let the LLVM backend fully optimize. In zig you can specify a different calling convention at any function call, and you have to be explicit if you want a ABI

IMHO this may be because with hyper-restrictive calling convention or register budgets, the compiler typically resorts to writing explicit MOV or stack PUSH/POP instructions to free up space. Because modern CPUs have hundreds of hidden

The issues from the 80s/90s were mostly fixed by POSIX in the 2000's. IIRC all major Unix-like systems ship with awk implementations that are POSIX-compliant by default today. With a few warts of course, but not like back then.

When this post was written (1997 updated in 2001), awk wasn't very portable because you still had the awk,nawk,gawk flavors. With sed if you stuck with BRE and avoided ERE you were going to be more portable. But this email is a there

I don’t know if others would find this useful, but previous did have custom harnesses etc.. but tools have improved so much that I drastically simplified. That said, even the foundational models fail at the hard parts of my code so I use it

Gold is right next door, relativistic effects shrink both Gold and Mercury’s 6s orbitals. In gold it changes the color, in Mercury it changes freezing temperature. Gallium has a low melting point 29.76C but that is due to unique chemical bo

I am not saying this result is correct, but you don't have unit safety in python at all In this example temperature would be a magnitude , not a unitful value. At least in the ISO 8000whatever convention where a value is the product

I had to run NT4 on a 4100 in prod at my very first Internet startup job. We also had a bunch of 1000 and 1000a's, and an AlphaStation running AltaVista firewall all on NT. An ALR 6x6 (6* Pentium Pros) was faster for Windows than the f

We still have the problem that auto regressive decoders are memory bound. The new Blackwell hardware combined with TensorRT-LLM and speculative decoding consistently can hit 1,000 TPS/user barrier, comparing to closer to ~250 TPS/

Note the utf-8[0] in my response, the answers are on the pages you linked, but not in the sections you linked, utf-8 encodes code points in one to four bytes , it is byte oriented vs utf-16 etc. In zig u8 is a byte, and is also (by convent

The ease of dealing with arbitrary bit-width integers and packed structs is actually one of the 'killer features' for me in zig. Zig natively supports arbitrary bit-width integers, the ABI is defined and you could simply think i
