My XDC 2024 talk about VK_EXT_device_generated_commands
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=ngyBOTi6oHg
Some days ago I wrote about the new VK_EXT_device_generated_commands Vulkan extension that had just been made public. Soon after that, I presented a talk at XDC 2024 with a brief introduction to it. It’s a lightning talk that lasts just about 7 minutes and you can find the embedded video below, as well as the slides and the talk transcription if you prefer written formats.
Truth be told, the topic deserves a longer presentation, for sure. However, when I submitted my talk proposal for XDC I wasn’t sure if the extension was going to be public by the time XDC would take place. This meant...
Weird Lexical Syntax
I just learned 42 programming languages this month to build a new syntax highlighter for llamafile. I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs in programming languages right now. Now that it's halloween, I thought I'd share some of the spookiest most surprising syntax I've seen.
Bespoke solution to monitor power outages at home
When I came home from a 5-days family trip this summer I immediately realized power was off in our flat. The main switch in the electricity panel was down together with one other additional switch. Everything appeared to have happened a few days before we arrived, so a few things in the fridge were ruined and most of the freezer contents had to be discarded. This was despite the fact we have relatives living close by with an emergency set of keys but, as we were completely unaware of the events, we couldn’t ask them to go check.
I thought about what happened and...
The Fastest Mutexes
Imagine you have a workload where all your threads need to do a serialized operation. With Cosmo, if you're looking at htop, then it's going to appear like only one core is active, whereas glibc and musl libc will fill up your entire CPU meter. That's bad news if you're running a lot of jobs on the same server. If just one of your servers...
Neurodivergence and accountability in free software
In November of last year, I wrote Richard Stallman’s political discourse on sex, which argues that Richard Stallman, the founder of and present-day voting member of the board of directors of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), endorses and advocates for a harmful political agenda which legitimizes adult attraction to minors, consistently defends adults accused of and convicted of sexual crimes with respect to minors, and more generally erodes norms of consent and manipulates language regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault in his broader political program.
In response to this article, and on many occasions when I have re-iterated my position on Stallman in other contexts, a common response is...
