2% of Golang 2025 survey respondents are deploying their Go software to RISC-V. Take that, s390x! go.dev/blog/survey2...

I've added a bunch more configurations to RISC-V LLVM CI: coverage of zvl512b, zvl1024b, -mcpu=spacemit-x60 (covering zvl256b), and the "gauntlet" bot for rapid but non-exhaustive testing of a range of target options. Dashboard: igalia.github.io/riscv-llvm-ci/

I'm delighted to see two of @igalia.com's projects for RISE highlighted at the RISC-V Summit Europe. Find out more about our work on both LLVM optimisation and testing/CI on the RISE blog (with more to come in the future!): riseproject.dev/2025/05/08/p... riseproject.dev/2024/10/15/w...

I ordered a USB power bank on discount and it seems I've been involuntarily inducted as a Bayern Munich fan

Basically: darkhttpd serving on local host, check for changes with entr, create a specific file if error while building, and slip in a bit of trivial JS to turn the background reddish pink if there was an error. Consumes a trivial amount of memory when not rebuilding, though entr is the "heaviest".

ps_mem -p $(pgrep -d, -u $UID) | grep -E 'darkhttpd|entr|dash' --color=never
284.0 KiB + 150.0 KiB = 434.0 KiB dash (2)
328.0 KiB + 161.0 KiB = 489.0 KiB darkhttpd (2)
5.6 MiB + 119.0 KiB = 5.8 MiB entr (2)

Mojo seems to have stepped back from the goal to be a superset of Python and is now aims to: 1) adopt the syntax of Python 2) be the best way to extend Python github.com/modularml/mo...

Commit ch307d0

[docs] Clarify meaning of "superset of Python"

Update documentation to provide more context than the word "superset” can communicate alone.

Was: Our vision is for Mojo to become a superset of Python.

Now, depending on context

- our vision is for Mojo to become the best way to extend Python

- Our intent is for Mojo to adopt the syntax of Python MODULAR_ORIG_COMMIT_REV_ID: 8a0a6731357d333578b792chSh82 76b32aaeb76

Clearing out some old stuff and check out what I found. Relatedly: if you need a paper copy of the 2008 London underground map, it turns out I'm your man.
