I hold a PhD in Awesomeness (it may say Computer Science on the certificate, a minor typo). I'm interested in all things compiler related.

@illuhad Cool!

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@zetalyrae Approaching three decades old now, but the SUIF 1.x compiler series had multiple binaries that you could use roughly this way. You could do a compiler pipeline in a shell script. I can't recall if you could do textual stdin/stdout piping of IR though.

A great moment for open standards software: Intel has signed an agreement to acquire Codeplay to accelerate multi-architecture, multi-platform implementations of SYCL and oneAPI. https://t.co/4t0K8WRbsC

@tinyblob Congratulations!

@TartanLlama Having the surname "Murray" I would get demonic skull quotes from choice friends in high school. This was a good thing.

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@tinyblob Congratulations!

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@AlastairMurray Wow, small world!

I wonder if the Alastair Murray who made Amiga games gets occasional emails about compilers, just as I get occasional emails about his games

@Neuralsandwich @7thsanctum I think the dishes are meant to be shared but people have taken them off of the spinning thing and are treating them as one dish each. Leaving the exasperated looking person hungry.

@nagyegrimate @VulkanAPI Mantle was a strong influence on Vulkan, but Vulkan had the benefit of even more people refining the design and building its ecosystem. https://t.co/4ZlHX95ZC8

@harriesadam Would git-lfs make using git here more acceptable to you? It's for exactly this sort of use case.

@TartanLlama Works for me: https://t.co/FNyR2CDvF8

Works in Clang. An ICE with GCC, but by definition the fact that GCC can't handle it is a compiler error.

@sheredom @tinyblob Paradise shouldn't have zombies?

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

I totally get it. My answer would probably be "3d printed prosthetics". Fortunately other people are already doing this! https://t.co/6dSWPaJpWs

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@cjdb_ns And for textbooks etc I think (but haven't measured) that CC style licenses are much more common, but I don't happen to know of any specific advantages that caused that.

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@cjdb_ns My point probably doesn't matter for that case, as I assume the code is unlikely to be copied directly into another codebase but rather principles learnt will be applied.

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@cjdb_ns For software? Apache 2.0 is more common for software and thus within a company it is more likely to have already been vetted. Might (or might not) make it easier for a developer to integrate at work.

[Alastair Murray @alycm]

@TartanLlama I look forward to your forthcoming blog post describing some standard ML algorithms for solving this problem.
