@PowerDNS_Bert Oh and for my fellow compiler/runtimes people, there are mentions of calling conventions too! 😆

I don’t tweet much, but I had to make an exception to praise this fantastic write-up by @PowerDNS_Bert. An incredibly well-written and explained look at how years of accumulated research and discoveries brought us the BNT162b2 vaccine.

@mraleph Con: Less cheerful. Pro: Dedicated on-keyboard space to put your arm64 registers note.

aaaand I am back to my less cheerful but more ergonomic Kinesis

@leiradel @brunoborges The pop2 implementation doesn't need to care about the types. It will pop 2 words, regardless of whether those are 2 Cat1 operands or 1 Cat2 operand. That's why the doc for pop2 says "Pop the top one or two values from the operand stack".

@mandaleeka @brunoborges If stack entries are like local variables, a pop2 implementation would be the same regardless of the element category. But if it's not, form 1 would pop 2 elements, whereas form 2 would pop only 1.

@brunoborges do you know the Java VM in detail? 2.6.2 of the VM spec says that each stack entry can hold any value, including J and D, but some instructions like pop2 seem to imply that the stack layout would be similar to the local vars, where those 2 types take 2 slots.

The Shenandoah GC project has a new Author: welcome @mandaleeka !!

@rkennke Thanks @rkennke! Excited to work with you and the rest of the OpenJDK community!

Microsoft contributing to Shenandoah GC and @OpenJDK. Good times! 👍😊 mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/shen… /cc @karianna

@spolsky Just read Birdcage Liners. Spot on, and very similar to this post I wrote a while back (except yours is better written): mandaleeka.com/life/2016/07/2… We as programmers have a social responsibility to think about these things when designing software.

Crying tears of joy at being back on 60Hz after months at 30. Yes, I spend a lot of time in a text editor. No, that doesn't make it okay.

Did someone leave f.lux on? Everything looks reddish outside. #Seattlesmoke

When filtering a set of content for a person, using similarity to prior content is convenient, but reinforcing beliefs isn’t always “right”.

This is a few months old, but now is a good time to remind ourselves to think about this when building stuff: mandaleeka.com/life/2016/07/2…

@siracusa When everything is a Pro model, nothing is a Pro model.

And no, I'm not changing caps lock. It is and always will be Ctrl.

New MBP has no physical F keys or ESC, and key travel from the MacbookOne? I'm half-considering ordering a current MBP before it's too late.

@CastIrony @caseyliss Also not sure whtr the fact that the L-R slider applies to the on-board speakers is intentional. Does it help anyone?

@CastIrony Touché. This is definitely not the intended use (cc @caseyliss).

. @SwiftOnSecurity This isn't a setting that should be left on. Just a band-aid if this problem bothers you and you are ok w/ the tradeoffs.

@zubie7a @SwiftOnSecurity Yup. You have to change it back. It also doesn't work if you change the orientation of the screen so L is R.
