A while ago, @regehr was tooting about optimizing brainfuck, and I speculated that peeling off the first iteration of a loop might make the loop body easier to optimize: https://mastodon.social/@nelhage/113241955294210125 Today I learned that RPython/PyPy use a very similar idea to support loop optimizations in their trace optimizer: https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/2480360.2384586 By peeling off a single loop iteration, the optimizer can "see" that the body proper is dominated by the first iteration, and specialize much harder.

What do you call it when someone writes a dramatization of the trials and tribulations of a bold emacs session heroically handling a keypress which results in writing a single character into the current buffer? `self-insert-command` fanfiction Related

Their words
I'm currently on a late 2016 MacBook Pro, 13", with a Touch Bar. I deeply regret the MBP - 1: dongle life, 2: the lack of a physical escape key makes coding in emacs very difficult, 3: the keys on the butterfly keyboard are constantly too loose or totally stuck, 4: so much beach ball.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
