Optimizing compilers like to keep track of each IR instruction’s effects. An instruction’s effects vary wildly from having no effects at all, to writing a specific variable, to completely unknown (wri...

I'm very honored to have received this year's RubyPrize from Matz's hands in Matsue last Thursday, recognizing my work on Ruby and its development tools.
I can still remember how nervous I was asking Matz for a picture back in 2016 😂 Time really flies

I'm excited to share that I became a Ruby committer today! A 10 year goal since RubyKaigi 2015.
Huge thanks to @bernsteinbear.com for the JIT mentorship and nomination, @k0kubun.com for years of guidance, and everyone who supported me along the way.
Looking forward to improving Ruby and its DX!

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

I did so much programming on a 10.1" netbook that weighed no more than a frisbee (and I did sometimes frisbee it across the room). It couldn't compile large projects fast so there was a lot of coding between compiles. When I miss those days I don't use my external monitor but it's not the same.

Always be walking around the compiler
One of my core engineering beliefs is that if you are building something you should always be holistically looking at it

Great post. And it's been great having Stan on the team!
This summer I started working on Ruby's new JIT compiler—ZJIT, with zero JIT background
After two months of learning, I wrote about the questions that puzzled me most:
- Where does JIT code live?
- How does Ruby execute it?
- And more!

Newark has every single person go through a mandatory automated face scan before going to security. I asked how to get through without it and an employee told me "cover the camera with your hand I guess?" Horrifying.
