In the following series of blog posts I will document my attempts to write Linux modules using the Ada language. In part 1, I will demonstrate how to write in Ada and build a simple "hello world" Linux kernel module. Additionally, I will introduce a basic customized Ada runtime to support our "hello world" module…

These are some of the error messages produced by Apple's MPW C compiler. These are all real. (If you must know I was bored one afternoon and decompiled the String resources for the compiler.) The compiler is 324k in size so these are just an excerpt I hope. I'm not sure where I stand on the copyright issue. Tony…
When I started writing type hints, I was a little confused about what to do with Python’s variable argument operators, * and ** (often called *args and **kwargs). Here’s what I figured out.
A retrospective on a NetBSD server set up in 2010 under tight deadlines, running almost untouched for over a decade on consumer-grade hardware-proof of the OS's remarkable stability.
One of the most impactful pieces of advice I ever got was just to lie still in bed.
(yet) tl;dr In a recent thread on Mastodon, it was revealed that Ubuntu 23.04 users can’t install the Steam deb package from the Ubuntu archive without jumping through some technical hoops. It turns out this was a mistake, a bug was filed, and future builds shouldn’t have this problem. It’s not immediately apparent…

Thoughts about what worked in math circles After about 7 months of math circles with a group of 7- turning 8-year-old boys and girls, I decided to take a...
Rust should be improved to provide the necessary building blocks that are needed to write cryptography code that is free from timing side channels and similar hazards.

Working in an early-stage startup, your whole belief system is based on being able to successfully create something new. Something that will become a great and cherished product, used all around the world. It needs to be this way, or…

Things I tried to improve bad sleep quality.
Elixir is the thing I do most of my public writing and speaking about. It is my default programming language for the last 5-6 years. It suits my brain. Performs well for the kind of work I typically do. And using it I have experienced very few drawbacks. Rather than writing yet another post trying to widely summarize…
It has been five months since my last general update on the Rust compiler’s performance. Let’s see what has happened in that time.
