  1. Trying out Google Chrome for Mac -- I'm starting to like it more than Safari, which went downhill stability-wise since 4.0
  2. Looks like its a VirtualBox bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44276
  3. Sometimes the low 32 bits of the counter wrap around but the high 32 bits don't increment, screwing up Factor's internal timers
  4. Trying to figure out a strange bug with @erg -- QueryPerformanceCounter() returns bogus values
  5. Refactoring Factor VM to not use gcc extensions, and getting stumped by annoying bugs
  6. RT @XPressz: Setting up a cat-free work space: intimacy is nice, but let's establish some boundaries.
  7. Why are people adding me to #java lists? I don't do any Java development and Factor does not run on the JVM.
  8. Deployed apps are smaller after this change -- UI hello world demo (hello-ui) went down from 1.3Mb to 1.0Mb
  9. GC now needs less code heap meta-data -- the "literal table removal" is done
  10. Making progress on teaching the GC to trace instruction operands directly
  11. @erg added monotonic nanosecond timers to Factor. Now changing the system clock won't mess up timeouts, and timing tools are more accurate!
  12. Blog post about recent GC improvements: http://bit.ly/20Ns2k
  13. Interactive development is hard. A large chunk of the Factor implementation is machinery to make code redefinition work.
  14. Implementing inline cache invalidation for call( fixed bugs but decreased performance. Now to win it back with smarter heuristic
  15. Factor's compiler stresses the GC like crazy: http://bit.ly/38rxxx
  16. Sped up allocation in tenured space with smarter free list strategy
  17. Added identity hashcodes to Factor
  18. RT @jckarter: When I go back home I'm totally getting our cat a fraudulent diploma. http://bit.ly/1h9pV5
  19. Man, why is #gitx so fucking slow
  20. @gnuvince Yeah, and some stuff for higher order functions
