“So you’re still alive,” she said. “Well, I suppose nothing can be done about it. Come on in.”

—Dashiell Hammett, Crime Wanted: Male or Female (1927)

Finished part 1 of 4 of the Cleansing of Poisonville, the short story serial that became Red Harvest. I read Red Harvest in college, and remember really liking it. But I don’t remember a lot of details except that there a lot of violence and a lot of people end up dead.

Having now read all the short stories that led up to it, I have a greater appreciation for not just the evolution of the character, but the growth of Hammett as a writer.

Why is static single assignment form weird?

Because, for the sake of mapping to hardware, it awkwardly mushes two separate digraphs together: a control flow graph (CFG) whose arrows point forward in time, and a dependency graph (DG) whose arrows point backwards in time.

Designwise, how can we improve this configuration?

First, we flip the edges of the CFG so that each basic block points to all blocks it comes from instead and the respective condition for each.

I started #nobodywantstodie on my #PS5 last night & can tell this is fitting into some very specific tastes for me. It's set a few hundred years in the future, in a VERY #cyberpunk New York, but with a glaring 1930-40s vibe. It feels part #bladerunner, part old-timey detective movie, part bioshock even (with style and how first person is handled). It oozes visual flair, focuses on neat tools to do detective clue finding & thus far I'm absolutely in love with it!

Finished reading Jim Thompson's "Fireworks: The Lost Writings."

Not his best work — his novels are way more interesting — but this did have some good stories.

Watched a random Noir on Criterion, The Big Clock.

It was a delight. More comedic than most Noir films, it had an interesting mix of comedy and suspense. A deadly chase between a framed investigative journalist and the murderer. Unbelievable and spectacular, it was a riveting watch.

I rather enjoyed it.
