I found it to spiral into complete nonsense a few times when I tested it out, but it's possible that was a bug in the provider

It should be pretty mature outside of Wasi. To be fair, there's really nothing that's super mature in terms of Wasi support, except maybe Wasmtime

don’t look at the user that reposted the article

maybe it implies some amount of "live to work" etymologically, but the word "living" in that context specifically refers to living in the financial sense (the act of living wouldn't really make sense in that sentence)

you live to play video games and watch movies, but you make a living by working

Optimizations like these are so cool. I love seeing higher level languages take advantage of their high level-ness

What do you mean outside of programmer control? What's stopping you from setting the stack size in the linker flags?

What’s the downside of SynthID?

Obligatory DuckDB solution:

> duckdb -s "COPY (SELECT url[20:] as url, date, count(*) as c FROM read_csv('data.csv', columns = { 'url': 'VARCHAR', 'date': 'DATE' }) GROUP BY url, date) TO 'output.json' (ARRAY)"

Takes about 8 seconds on my M1 Macbook. JSON not in the right format, but that wouldn't dominate the execution time.

You’re missing the fact that the compiler isn’t forced to fill every register in the first place. If it was less efficient to use more registers, the compiler simply wouldn’t use more registers.

The actual counter proof here would be that in either case, the temporaries have to end up on the stack at some point anyways, so you’d need to look at the total number of loads/stores in the proximity of the call site in general.

Maybe, but from the author's description, it seems like the interpretation of intent that they want is to generally give the most information possible to the compiler, so it can do its thing. I don't see why the right high level language couldn't give the compiler plenty of leeway to optimize.

> High level languages lack something that low level languages have in great adundance - intent.

Is this line really true? I feel like expressing intent isn't really a factor in the high level / low level spectrum. If anything, more ways of expressing intent in more detail should contribute towards them being higher level.
