University of #Vermont President Suresh Garimella finally sent his much-discussed email — announcing the cancellation of Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s commencement speech and his plan to punish encamped #students for protesting — to #UVM parents like me.
“Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the #UnitedNations, will no longer speak at the University of #Vermont’s commencement ….
The cancellation appears to be a victory for a nearly week-old encampment of pro-[#Palestine] protesters on UVM’s … campus. Protesters had demanded that [she] be removed as the … commencement speaker, saying that [she] was complicit in vetoing 3 [#UN#ceasefire resolutions]” #protest
University of #Vermont encampment still up this morning with little appreciable #police presence. One of their demands strikes at the #Biden administration:
“And protesters called on #UVM to cancel this year’s commencement speaker, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the #UnitedNations. Protesters see her as complicit in the three U.S. vetoes of #ceasefire resolutions at the United Nations.” #protest#FreePalestine
alright! now code that works with #UVM cells compiles to LLVM as well as to UVM, allowing us to work with the underlying variadic type in typechecked code; see the example below. an integer is transformed to a cell, a UVM C API function is called, and the cell is translated back to an integer.
for the LLVM target, we go the long way, interfacing with the API. but the UVM target lowers these instructions into native nothings since everything is a cell already.
For people following the shooting of three Palestinian-American college students in Burlington, Vermont last night, VTDigger is a reliable independent local news source and it looks like they’re updating this story
i have successfully borrowed 2^46 bytes from the address space for mirrored addressing. the pinned address seems to be outside of the typical ASLR / dynamic mmap ranges, but if it fails for a particular program layout, the user can specify a different constant address. no idea how portable this is though, under windows we might have to do something else. #UVM
It’s been another busy week, but highlights including some parts of the #UVM campus off my normal routes. One spot rewarded me with this vista of #Burlington and #LakeChamplain. I love these everyday reminders of this amazing watershed we are working to protect. #52LakeChamplain#Vermont
