"Supercompilation is a principiled program transformation technique that symbolically evaluates a given input program into its more efficient version, eliminating as much of computational overhead as possible[...]."
Linux tip: ionice -c 3 command runs a command with idle I/O priority. It only gets disk access when no other processes need it. Perfect for backups or maintenance tasks. #Linux#SystemAdministration#SysAdmin#Performance
Patch of the day
perf: Improve throughput by +1140%, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/pull/5411.
It was fun to track it down.
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil." - Donald Knuth. Write clear, correct code first. Profile to find actual bottlenecks, then optimize those specific areas. #SoftwareEngineering#Performance

Tech Hobbyist Destroys 51 #MicroSD Cards To Build Ultimate #Performance Database - #Slashdot
We seem to have entered the #era of #celebrity #marriage as #performance #art.
I think it started with Jon Richardson though I may have missed earlier iterations.
For a while we've had an assortment of farming couples including Jeremy Clarkson.
Now they're graduating to using marriage to revive moribund careers such as the case with Noel Edmonds.
It's no wonder #genz has a jaundiced outlook. It didn't happen in a vacuum.
Native JS templating: helps JavaScript developers. Direct WASM→DOM: helps EVERY language. Rust, Go, C#, Zig, Swift, Kotlin... all get first-class web UI performance. That's real platform evolution. We shouldn't be adding more JS-specific APIs when we could be opening the web to all languages equally. The web platform should be language-agnostic at its core. #compsci#webdev #webassembly#programming
The performance argument for native templating is weak - we're talking 2% gains, max. But remove the JS bridge for WASM? That's where real performance wins live. Fix the actual bottleneck. Every DOM call through JS is overhead we don't need. Direct access would unlock true native speeds for web UIs. Imagine game engines manipulating DOM at 60fps without JS overhead. #compsci#webdev #performance #wasm
I wanted to move my services from a costly and power hungry VPS to a Raspberry Pi in my living room.
But when moving the first 2.8 GB there... the Raspberry Pi announced a migration time in hundreds of days!
Follow me as I investigate why my Raspberry Pi is too slow as a server, and if there's anything I can do about it.

TPDE Compiler Back-End Framework
https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22610
"TPDE-LLVM: a standalone back-end for LLVM-IR, which compiles 10--20x faster than LLVM -O0 with similar code quality, usable as library (e.g., for JIT), as tool (tpde-llc), and integrated in Clang/Flang (with a patch)."
Holy cow! 🤯
