Polyhedral optimization is a tool used in compilers for optimizing loop nests. While the major compilers that use this implement polyhedral optimizations from scratch,1 there is a generally-applicable open source C library called the Integer Set Library (ISL) that implements the core algorithms used in polyhedral optimization. This article gives an overview of a subset of ISL, mainly focusing on the representation of sets and relations and ..

No, honest, it did. Windows 2 was kinda ugly. https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win203 Windows 3/3.1/3.11 were fine. https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win30 Muted, boring, but you could look at it all day. And we did. 95 improved it. https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win95osr2 Tasteful greys, spot colour.

Recently I took on a contract job to fill the coffers a bit while HiredCoach handles its initial launch. Nothing that I can talk that much about publicly, but I can reveal that it’s your typical AI office assistant for a particular business process. As specific as it is exciting a description, I’m sure. Given that I recently wrote an entire article about the highs and lows of my custom framework, arkaine - and within I mention t..

Emacs ships with a perfectly functional world clock, available via M-x world-clock. Having said that, there are two things I wish it had: A quick way to interactively add any city (bonus points for fuzzy search). An easy way to shift the time back and forth. As far as I can tell, these are neither available nor possible on the built-in world-clock (please correct me if otherwise), so when my friend across the world recently asked me for....

It occured to me that one of the advantages of having gone down the route of having many plugins for my ssg, even though that became a bit of a headache, was that my github actions made very good use of reusable workflows. I spent a bit of time the past few days seing if I could repurpose the same structure to build an social media auto-poster. I’ve made a ton of progress, and have the core primitives working. In some ways it feels like ..

So what is Open Source Software in a Source Available Software world?

Open Source Software(OSS) has gone through a lot of battles over the years. The recent two of ’em has been from source available software licenses and Large Language Models (LLMs). Source available predates the LLM/AI trend (in it’s current form). And source available software has a renewed interest. So many think Source Available Software (SAS) is the answer. The next step for OSS software. So I thought this is a good time to define what O....

Ike Pro was the first app that I bought with my own money from android play store. It was a to-do list app which introduced me to Eisenhower Matrix . This has been my favourite way to prioritise tasks ever since. Coming from a Linux / OSS environment (and being naive and young), paying for an app was way too new to me. But the price was justified and the quality of the app was good. I used it for a long time. And after a while, even tho....

In Fifth Edition (5e) Dungeons & Dragons ™ (D&D), druids can transform into certain Beast forms using the Wild Shape ability. Similarly, casters of the Polymorph spell can transform allies and enemies into Beasts. Players often find selecting a Beast form onerous (there are 84 forms defined in the System Reference Document (SRD) alone) as this is a multi-dimensional decision problem. We created an online tool to aid in the decision p....

I haven’t been feeling it for the last few weeks. An inability to dedicate myself to anything, a lack of care for the things in my life, and a general malaise about being me. A month into autumn and only now do I recognise and remember this pervasive feeling as depression. Carrying on from last time , summer was hellish. It was the hottest on record with each month having its own heatwave. August itself was far hotter than the blissful....
