Loyalty absolutely does not pay when it comes to car insurance in Australia.

I switch every year. 5 insurers in 6 years I'm up to. The disloyalty discount is better than any loyalty discount they offer, but I can't remember who I'm with right now...

For those interested in fooling around with niche compiler technology and programming languages: Here's a fun sketch of a correctness proof for Hare's sort::inplace stdlib function through symbolic execution of the QBE intermediate representation emitted by the Hare compiler.

New #blog post. Let's write a peephole optimizer for #QBE that operates on #AArch64 assembly code. Three years ago, we did this for #AMD64 assembly code. But now that I have Arm machines, we can replicate the effort for another CPU architecture.

Дрю ДеВолт — автор языка Hare и платформы кодохостинга SourceHut

Дрю ДеВолт объясняет , что веб-интерфейс Github.com требует множества лишних действий. Гораздо эффективнее использовать консольный почтовый клиент , отправляя тот же пулл-реквест одной командой из консоли Американский разработчик Дрю ДеВолт (Drew DeVault) известен как создатель и исполнительный директор платформы для хостинга проектов SourceHut , которую Фонд сохранения свободы ПО выбрал как альтернативу майкрософтовскому сервису GitHub (наряду с CodeBerg ) в рамках кампании Give Up GitHub по уходу свободных проектов с этого коммерческого хостинга, задача которого — генерировать продажи Copilot. ДеВолт также известен как автор нового языка системного программирования Hare, который похож на С, только лучше и проще его.

Randomly saw my own name in a video YouTube recommended to me (this one, at 23:35, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTjNoejn4iA)

But I agree, #QBE is pretty neat. I'm even the maintainer of the #OpenBSD package of it (though @tobhe is probably smarter than me when it comes to actually using qbe).

@mhd, compilers backed by #QBE are pretty fast, and I’m also waiting for #Zig’s self-hosted backend.

#qbe 1.0 was released:

Let's study the #LLVM and #GCC optimizers around the question of increments and decrements and see how they differ. Then we can make a decision as to whether or not we want to teach those optimizations to our #QBE optimizer we've been working on.

I wrote a peephole optimizer for QBE. QBE missed a couple of easy optimization wins, so let's use it as an opportunity to learn how peephole optimizers work and write one of our own.

I just published v1.0.0 of the #QBE IR Rust crate. This is my first ever project that actually hits v1.0!🎉

Today, we learn about QBE, a quick backend for compilers. It acts as a smaller version of LLVM: it reads in an intermediate language in SSA form and outputs optimized assembly.

Let's get our hands dirty figuring out how QBE works! We'll write a Brainfuck compiler directly in QBE IR.
