One of my favourite features of Dart is its ability to create executables (aka ahead of time [AOT] binaries)[1]. Creating binaries for the platform you’re running on is very straightforward, just dart compile exe but Dart doesn’t presently support cross compilation for command line binaries, unlike Rust and Go, which have also surged in popularity. […]

Pupdate It’s starting to get muddy out there, and I guess it won’t be long before they need coats on because of the cold. Dart on Docker on Arm Most of the stuff we build at The @ Company is written in Dart, and we want to enable people to run it on the platform […]

June 2021
Pupdate My Apple Fitness challenge for June was to walk/run 225.5km, which resulted in some bonus walks for Max, despite the mostly awful weather. Back to London I went into London for the first time in 15 months. It was for an emergency dentist visit (which turned out OK), but it’s a trip I’d rather […]

My Dart journey so far
Dart is the main programming language we use at The @ Company, and so it’s becoming something that I’m frequently talking to people about. I first heard about Dart chatting with Derek Collison about Go after the FITE club meeting that Alexis Richardson brought him along to when he was over doing due diligence on […]

Pupdate He’s getting more used to the rhythms of life with us. There’s obviously a distinctive sound to my lock keyboard keystroke, as he’s up and stretching before I’ve had a chance to change my glasses. Speaker fix I was watching The Midnight Sky[1]. It has a bunch of scenes in a spaceship, with very […]

April 2020 marks 55 years since Intel co-founder Gordon Moore published ‘Cramming more components onto integrated circuits (pdf)‘, the paper that subsequently became known as the origin for his eponymous law. For over 50 of those years Intel and its competitors kept making Moore’s law come true, but more recently efforts to push down integrated circuit feature size have […]

Turning a Twitter thread into a post. I wrote about the performance of AWS’s Graviton2 Arm based systems on InfoQ The last 40 years have been a Red Queen race against Moore’s law, and Intel wasn’t a passenger, they were making it happen. I used to like Pat Gelsinger’s standard reply to ‘when will VMware […]

AnandTech has published Amazon’s Arm-based Graviton2 against AMD and Intel: Comparing Cloud Compute which includes comprehensive benchmarks across Amazon’s general purpose instance types. The cost analysis section describes ‘An x86 Massacre’, as while the pure performance of the Arm chip is generally in the same region as the x86 competitors, its lower price means the price/performance is substantially […]

Open Source and Export Controls
This is the blog version of a Twitter conversation with my colleague Graham Chastney. Huawei, and the war on trade POTUS #45 has been pursuing a ‘trade war’ with China, as this appears to be popular with his base, even though it makes stuff more expensive for them and will ultimately harm the US economy. […]

Failure of Imagination
The Spectre and Meltdown bugs have been billed as a ‘failure of imagination’, where the hardware designers simply didn’t conceive of the possibility that a performance optimisation might lead to a security vulnerability. I personally find this a little hard to swallow. The very first time I came across side-channel attacks the first thing I though […]
