SUBJECT: Mere ICE updated to v0.0.2, new Annex entry
DATE: Mon 8 May 20:25:14 BST 2023
Due to popular demand, I’m taking too long with the uint changes, I’ve updated
Mere ICE to v0.0.2 to include the new dimension array ‘dim’ built-in. There is
also a bug fix and new example. From the “What’s New”:
v0.0.2 — Monday 8th May, 2023
• Added dimension array 'dim' built-in.
• New multiplication table example.
• Fix maximum negative integer literal being -2147483647 or
-9223372036854775807 instead of -2147483648 or -9223372036854775808
(dependant on 32-bit or 64-bit platform).
I’ve received some email regarding building Go on a Raspberry Pi, specifically
the older Zero models. Maybe this is due to the limited availability of the
Raspberry Pi still? No idea…
In response, I’ve finally pulled all my notes together and published them as
“Building Go on a Raspberry Pi” in the annexed works[1]. As it happens I
needed to build Go myself on all my machines anyway as Go 1.20.4 was released
last Tuesday with a few security fixes.
Anything else going on? Well… I’m finally looking to replace my old desktop
machine. Currently I’m using a quad core Intel i5-2400. The replacement I’m
looking at is an Intel i9-12900T. That’s a leap of 10 Intel generations!
Old System New System
-------------- ----------------------
Processor i5-2400 i9-12900T
Generation Sandy Bridge Alder Lake
2nd gen. 12th gen.
Released January 2011 January 2022
Cores/Threads 4/4 16/24
8 P-cores/16 threads
8 E-cores/8 threads
Speed 3.1Ghz 4.8Ghz / 3.6Ghz
Memory 8Gb 64Gb
Memory Type DDR3-1333Mhz DDR5-4800Mhz
Grahics Intel HD 2000 UHD 770 / NVidia T1000
Personally I don’t need to upgrade my current machine, which is working
perfectly fine. However, for work I need something with a bit more clout :(
The thing is, I like my old system as it only needs a few Spectre/Meltdown
and associated mitigations as there is no SMT :|
