ARM’s Scalable Vector Extensions: A Critical Look at SVE2 For Integer Workloads

ARM’s Scalable Vector Extensions: A Critical Look at SVE2 For Integer Workloads

Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE) is ARM’s latest SIMD extension to their instruction set, which was announced back in 2016. A follow-up SVE2 extension was announced in 2019, designed to incorporate all functionality from ARM’s current primary SIMD extension, NEON (aka ASIMD).

Despite being announced 5 years ago, there is currently no generally available CPU which supports any form of SVE (which excludes the [Fugaku supercomputer](https://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/innovation/

A small state-of-the-art study on custom engines

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

a_plague_tale

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

fork() is evil; vfork() is goodness; afork() would be better; clone() is stupid

I recently happened upon a very interesting implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) called popen-noshell using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

This is not a paper. I assume reader familiarity with fork() in particular and Unix in general, though, of course, I link to relevant wiki pages, so if the unfamiliar reader is willing to go down the rabbit hole, they should be able to come ou

# Фейковый npm
# Нужен для кэширования папки node_modules
# Кэш находится в папке ~/.cache/npm-inject/[sha1 хэш файла package.json]/node_modules
#
# В PATH надо добавить путь папки с фейковым npm, таким образом при выполнении команды `npm install`
# bash вызовет фейковый npm c параметром `install`.
# Фейк проверяет наличие папки [sha1 хэш файла package.json] в кэше.
# Если она в кэше, создаем на неё симлинк node_modules

Вводная часть

У CSS есть несколько базовых проблем, которые позволяют очень быстро отстрелить себе ногу при неправильном использовании:

  1. Глобальный неймспейс – в серверном программировании все что написано в файле, в файле и остается. Все же что написано в css и js засирает глобальное пространство имен со всеми вытекающими. В JS эту проблему сейчас побороли всякими модульными системами, а вот с css сложнее. В идеальном мире это должен починить Shadow DOM и настоящие Web Components, но пока их нет единственный способ с этим бороться – следовать какой-то системе именований селекторов, которая по возможности уменьшает и исключает возможные конфликты.

  2. Каскадность – если на один элемент может сработать несколько правил, то они все и сработают последовательно. Если есть элемент h1.title, на него сработают все правила для тегов h1 и все правила для класса .title. Так как весь html состоит из тегов, то правил которые п

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs
