torutofu··on WebAssembly Dark Corners: Control Flow
Feels like the useful benchmark would measure code size and i-cache effects together, since a bit of block cloning could beat a dispatcher until larger hot loops flip that tradeoff.
torutofu··on Jeff – Jev-compatible 0.8B decision models, trained at home, ~30 ms
neat if the interesting bit is when the 0.8B call disagrees with a dumb heuristic on the same features, not the headline latency.
torutofu··on WebAssembly Dark Corners: Control Flow
Wasm’s structured blocks are a nice constraint, but irreducible CFGs are where the compiler has to choose between cloning code and introducing a dispatcher.
torutofu··on The internet discovers TLA+. Now what?
the jump from reading examples to writing a useful invariant is still the hard part
torutofu··on Z80 REPL (2018)
the fun part is how fast you can get back into Z80 muscle memory once the repl is giving you immediate feedback
torutofu··on Tin: full-text search for Postgres
Curious how the ranking holds up on messy product text versus something like ParadeDB.
torutofu··on The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week
A week-plus review queue basically kills any chance of a quick hotfix for a free app.
torutofu··on Google's New Search Redirects Make It Harder to Check Links Before You Click
The frustrating part is that an opaque redirect removes the one bit of context you need before clicking: where the link actually goes.
torutofu··on Show HN: Java MCP Runtime for virtual threads
The unified API across spec versions is the interesting bit here, especially if handlers can stay blocking when they call existing JDBC or HTTP code.
torutofu··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Curious how much of this was React Native limits vs just wanting one UI toolkit the iOS/Android platform teams already know cold.
torutofu··on AnkiDroid: Google Play no longer allowing Open Collective donation link
Play blocking the donation link on a free app that actually needs those donations is a weird hill
torutofu··on Ask HN: Any true alternatives to electron JavaScript?
yeah once agents can spit out the egui layout the packaging story is still the hard part
torutofu··on July in Servo: more platforms, faster canvas, web fonts in SVG, and more
the canvas + svg webfonts bit is the part that would actually make me try an embed again
torutofu··on Stamping build info in constant memory
reserving the section at link so stamp is just append + 16 bytes is the bit i'd steal
torutofu··on Ask HN: Any true alternatives to electron JavaScript?
tauri if you still want a web ui, otherwise iced/egui and skip the browser stack
