Friends, friends of friends… 2 dates next week to hear and meet me:
10/02: I am performing *être script* (french version) at La Générale (Paris) 7.30PM https://www.mig.fyi/ also broadcasted on https://p-node.org/
————
11/02: I am live coding ambient stuff at Lithium, a café (and an online radio) 6 rue Saint Blaise, Paris. Starting at 5PM. https://lithium.fm/
————
For both events, I will have zines and fediverse stickers to sell (cheap).

Bad codegen for comparing struct of two 16bit ints, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/140167.
Excellent discussions about a simple problem in appearance: Comparing a struct with two `u16` could be achieved by comparing one `u32` (bits concatenation of both `u16`, both should be loaded in the same register). Turns out, despite being a nice optimisation, it’s rather complex!
Edit: it also works with `i16` and `i32` of course.
Making the rav1d Video Decoder 1% Faster, https://ohadravid.github.io/posts/2025-05-rav1d-faster/.
The author explains the approach: how to measure, to profile, and how to improve the code. Really great writing and excellent findings!
Linux tip: `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` shows top CPU-consuming processes. Replace `-%cpu` with `-%mem` for memory usage. The `--sort` flag works with any column name from `ps` output. #Linux #Performance
