Have you tried converting iterations to SIMD and using vector extension to target x86, ARM, Webassembly and compile for Linux/Windows/MacOS with a simple piece of code? It's a pretty significant speed up and it only work with Clang.

I don't know what motivate you to keep repeating this narrative, Clang currently have good support of C++23 while MSVC have none[1], if your emphasis is on the standard library side, Clang is the only one that is compatible to all three major implementations and do use libstdc++ and MS STL on their respective "main" platforms.

Also, why isn't Microsoft in the "profit from Clang" list? Is Clang-CL not shipped in Visual Studio Installer? Did they find a way to compile Edge with VC++?

OpenBSD 7.2 4 years ago

Direct Rendering Manager and graphics drivers

Updated drm(4) to Linux 5.15.69

inteldrm(4): support for Alder Lake, Raptor Lake

I have fond memory of booting OpenBSD the first time last year on an AMD RDNA GPU, after installation a simple "fw_update" got me a hardware accelerated graphic environment going. Very impressive in my book.

C++20 coroutines demonstrated one side of committee-led modern C++ that left an impression of it is ultimately designed-by and -for library writers; instead of being suggested third-party library or "wait for C++23" for better experience, I'd love to see these related machinery released the same time in the standard library.

Skylake-X on X299 can be configured to not downclock at all, the light and heavy stages are referred in BIOS as AVX2- and AVX512-offsets, but of course that comes with extra heat and power draw. The voltage transition period can't be mitigated AFAIK.

Not many people realize is that recent glibc brought AVX-512 optimized str* and mem* functions to the ifunc dispatch table, your C code may have been using fancy mask registers on someone's Intel laptop!

They still do, I registered without an e-mail. That may have worsened my credibility according to their algorithm, however. I considered adding an e-mail to the account but feared the possibility of my e-mail being blacklisted as well.
