Learn x86-64 assembly by writing a GUI from scratch

  Writing Win32 programs in assembly was a niche in the late-90s. This post inspired me to do some googling for a project I was familiar with back then and discovered the author has brought it back to life at https://github.com/ThomasJaeger/VisualMASM.

  Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.

  

• rav1e

  19 3,344 8.0 Assembly

  The fastest and safest AV1 encoder.

  

  Sure. You'll see it very often in codec implementations. From rav1e, a fast AV1 encoder mostly written in Rust: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/tree/master/src/x86

  Large portions of the algorithm have been translated into assembly for ARM and x86. Shaving even a couple percent off something like motion compensation search will add up to meaningful gains.

  Or the current reference implementation of JPEG: https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo/tree/main/sim...

  OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version.

  

  Yeah. I'm going to be helping to work on expanding CI for OpenBlas and have been diving into this stuff lately. See the discussion in this closed OpenBlas issue gh-1968 [0] for instance. OpenBlas's Skylake kernels do rely on intrinsics [1] for compilers that support them, but there's a wide range of architectures to support, and when hand-tuned assembly kernels work better, that's what are used. For example, [2].

  Programs from the "Programming from the Ground Up 1.0" book ported to macOS (XNU kernel) and x86_64

  https://github.com/lmartinho/pgubook-macos-x86-64

  Seems very handy, since most assembly tutorials nowadays are Windows/Linux-specific.
