Next C compiler is a D compiler: Introducing DMD's ImportC
In my never ending quest to have oksh support every C compiler in existence, I sometimes find C compilers in places you wouldn't expect them.

Visualizing Diffs: The Myers difference algorithm (2020)
In 1986, Eugene Myers published An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations , which unified the problems of finding the longest common subsequence of two sequences (the LCS of "driftwood" and "artwork" is "two") and finding the shortest edit script for transforming one sequence into another.

Bringing a dynamic environment to C: My linker project
I'm writing a linker. It's an unusual linker. It's focus is not on producing executable files. Instead, its focus is to facilitate rapid iteration on a program without having to re-link or re-open it after making changes. It is hot-loading of code at an object-file granularity.

How the clipboard works
Reading how copy-paste works from the Wayland specification is non-trivial unless you understand a lot of how desktop computing works and Wayland internal. It took me quite a while to figure it all out, though once you get there, it seems quite obvious.

Buffers on the Edge: Python and Rust
One of my least favorite kinds of bug is when two different systems are interacting and the result has bad behavior but it’s difficult to say which (if either!) system is at fault. This is one of those stories, about Python’s buffer protocol and Rust’s memory model.
