Scratch that. I see the discussion under the initial post.
@neauoire
Can you elaborate on that? I like designing VMs and often have similar dilemmas. My current approach is to also stick with MUL/DIV as it better captures the intent of the code. Some MUL/DIVs can be replaced with shift and add ops even in the simple peephole optimizer. The rest can be handled in the VM implementation as hardware specific algo. With such approach MUL/DIV is fast on platforms that support it and still possible on platforms without it although with big performance impact. I’m still not sure if this is the better solution.
As part of my research into the diverse views on sustainability and ICT, I wrote a paper about edge computing and greenwashing.
'Refusing the Burden of Computation: Edge Computing and Sustainable ICT' is published in the open access, online APRJA journal's issue on research refusal.

Tomorrow and Tuesday, the Computing within LIMITS workshop takes place.
I'm presenting a paper based on a discussion on Mastodon, started by @calcifer about terms related to sustainability and computing. I'm starting with a discussion of 3 historical terms from the 70s, rooted in anarchism, anti-technocratic critique and human-scale technologies, after which I dive into LIMITS related and grass roots terms, ideas and their associated practices.

Lurk instance is well represented, @rra is there, in paper session #3, with a discussion on degrowth and ICT, focusing on Low Tech Magazine's design choices and most importantly, why it sometimes goes offline:

Many thanks to @solderpunk @neauoire @viznut and @calcifer for their kind contributions!
14 - 15 June, from 16.00 - 20.30 CEST
