Building the Rust Compiler with GCC

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-25 16:46:02

Bootstrapping Rust with GCC If you know one thing about me, it is that I love working on the Rust compiler. Some people kayak, travel or play guitar - and I stare at assembly, trying to figure out what I broke. This summer, I am taking on quite a large task: bootstrapping the Rust compiler using `cg_gcc` What does that mean? "bootstrapping" is simply a name given to the Rust compiler build process. So, what I am really trying to do is build a Rust compiler, without using LLVM - and using GCC

Bitcoin Bought in 2011 Suddenly Springs to Life After 13 Million Percent Increase In Value

Two Bitcoin wallets that remained untouched for more than a decade just sprang back to life — and whoever owns them is now filthy rich in crypto. As MarketWatch reports, each Bitcoin was worth just 78 cents back when the unknown buyer purchased 20,000 tokens in 2011 for just under $16,000. Due to the digital currency's inexorable rise over the subsequent years, the extremely patient owner of the two "Sleeping Beauty" wallets where the Bitcoin was stored now holds more than $2 billion worth — a

Tesla Fans Rage Against Elon Musk as They Lose Money on Polymarket After Doing Exactly What He Told Them to Do

Elon Musk's fanboys are furious at the billionaire for giving them bad betting advice on Polymarket. Back when there was still a slight chance that Tesla might pull off a public Robotaxi launch by the end of June, the multi-hyphenate billionaire prognosticated on X-formerly-Twitter that betting against the haters on the crypto-based prediction platform would be a "money-making opportunity." Obviously, that didn't happen — the program remains glitchy and not open to the public — and now that th

Last year, I asked a bunch of staff at The Verge to pretend to be trend forecasters for a lighthearted collection of what’s hot and what’s not.

Overthinking GIS (2024)

Overthinking GIS A roundabout way to downsampling data Maps in the Modern Era GIS is probably one of the best things to happen to cartography in the last couple hundred years. I say that with absolutely no knowledge of the history of map making, but GIS is wildly useful and consistent in how it is presented on publicly-accessible sites. I can go to the USGS National Map Viewer and am presented with more data and information than I could possibly ever find useful. Even more surprising is that
