I feel like that may be more of an issue with how Python's C API is designed, leaking basically most of its internals, and then having to remember to manage (increment/decrement) Python objects correctly.

Why not first fix the clock back as it was before the DST, and then abolish it completely?
I personally am not a fan of playing around switching clock hours, it's annoying every single year and as a result of the clock change I always feel more sleepy during the winter.

I think it would be much nicer, although unrealistic at the moment given the number of combinations of GPU vendors and variety of hardware, to directly target the underneath GPU ISA machine code.
Since I can write a simple compiler to target x64 machine code, it should be possible to write one to target my GPU.
Though, I'm certain that vendor lock is probably more profitable for them.

Location: Italy
Remote: No (unless from Italy)
Willing to relocate: Yes - US (need US sponsorship)
Technologies: C, C++, Java, x86-64 Assembly, Python, Lua, SQL, Git, Linux
Résumé/CV: Available on request
Email: [email protected]
Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentin-voina
I'm a software engineer with around two years of professional experience using Java, Python, Javascript and SQL (Postgres, Oracle)
Outside of work, I focus on systems programming and language implementation. I'm currently building a compiler in C from scratch, and I'm particularly interested in compilers, interpreters, runtimes, developer tools and low-level software in general.
I'm open to systems software, compiler or back-end roles, and I'm also interested in startup environments.

It seems to be a catch term now, since I've seen it being used by some startups

It definitely worked as a marketing stunt for sure

I kind of don't see the benefit, as it's still going to use only the window, input and platform integrations features, while SDL3 has a whole software renderer built-in and much more.

Compatibility with PUC Lua versions after 5.1 is especially hard, given that more or less arbitrary syntactic and semantic but also C API changes have been introduced in every version since then.
That is mostly the reason why LuaJIT is stuck with a mix of 5.1 and toggled 5.2 features.

Oh, that is unexpected... I tried applying for a position at Modular a few days ago.

Tracing JIT compilers are very interesting, and there definitely needs to be more resources on such complex topic.

The only way to lessen the need of drivers would be to have more standardized and stable hardware interfaces and peripherals.

I don't know what's more bizarre, either it's SpaceX buying what is essentially a clone of VSCode with AI tools on top, or a VSCode fork being valued billions of dollars.
