Before I started doing research, I saw SAT solvers as academically interesting but without practical uses ouside of other academic applications. I've since then changed my mind, and I want to change yours, because modern SAT solvers are neat, fast and almost criminally underused by the industry.
How we overvalue the wrong technology and novel aspects of interface design at the expense of substantial gains to our productivity.
A high-level overview of Numba and Cython architectures

Practicing minimalism with the lofty goal of total ephemeralization to build coherent, stable, and operable stacks.
This is my journey building an open source car system with Go & Qt, rear camera, live OpenGL map … Cross compilation In Part I, I had to patch qtmultimedia for the camera to work, but Qt compilation is resource hungry, same goes for the osrm compilation, the memory of the Raspberry Pi is too small. I had to to set up…
Update 2022 : TheIronBorn has found even better permutations using a smarter technique. That thread completely eclipses my efforts in this article.
An old friend of mine asked me this in email last night...
I really like the c2 wiki as a historical artifact: a lot of big names in Agile and Extreme Programming argued with each other there.1 One thing they did was the Extreme Programming Challenge, where people tried to test the limits of these approaches. They’d find edge problems (designing databases, remote teams, etc)…
Monads have exerted a curious fascination on programmers who turn to Haskell. The incomprehension of the newbies is matched in intensity onl...
Elastic tabstops - a better way to indent and align code
In 1978 Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry established the encoding that would later be known as JIS X 0208, which still serves as an important reference for all Japanese encodings. However, after the JIS standard was released people noticed something strange - several of the added characters had no…
Practical Racket macros
Face it: nobody likes fractions, not even computers.
Peter Bourgon has a web site, and this is that web site.
Anteru's blog is a blog about development, software architecture and 3D graphics.
Welcome back! In part 4 we went over the nitty-gritty of lambdas and how to store them, we explored the relation between the various C++ algorithms and containers, plus we took a stroll through some non-standard containers with exceptional capabilities. Note: part 1 is here. In this probably final part 5, we’ll be…
This summer, I am again working on Rust full-time, and again I will work (amongst other things) on a “memory model” for Rust/MIR. However, before I can talk about the ideas I have for this ...
Optimizing a breadth-first search of an implicit graph for secondary storage, and memory use in general.
In previous posts, we covered the most popular implicit use cases. What is left to complete the picture is the mechanics of implicits itself.
Quantum computers might sound a bit exotic and far into the future, but in reality, they are now accessible in the cloud or through emulators for everyone to write quantum code. In this tutorial, we’ll go through how you can program a simple quantum computer to generate random numbers.
You’ve implemented some of your performance critical code using the new platform intrinsics API. The code is now running 10x or even 100x faster than before, and you might think that it can’t get any faster. This post will show you some less obvious (but almost universally applicable) techniques for improving the…
In several places, the C and C++ language specifications use a curious, and fairly controversial, phrase: undefined behavior . For certain program constructs, the specification prescribes no specific behavior, instead allowing anything to happen . Such constructs are considered erroneous, and so the result depends on…
I've been thinking about the consequences of the "wrong abstraction." My RailsConf 2014 "all the little things" talk included a section where I asserted: > duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction And in the summary, I went on to advise: >
I am a fond Clojure user, and love to use it for both server-side projects and small command-line tools. I love its expressivity and concision, and I like th...
