I've been wanting to write a big project in Rust for a while as a learning exercise, and actually started one in late 2018 (a FUSE server implementation). But then life happened and I got busy and never went anywhere with it. Due to certain world circumstances I'm currently spending a lot of time indoors so rust-fuse…
Django is currently the most commonly used full-stack web framework for Python. It has been around for a good 15 years, emerging as a winner from a period in which Python was already mature, but its web development tools were comparatively much more immature and fragmented.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) is the vector extension (RISC-V "V"). In contrast to the average single-instruction multipe-data (SIMD) instruction set, RISC-V vector instructions are vector length agnostic (VLA). Thus, a RISC-V "V" CPU is flexible in choosing a…

Over the last year, my 13 year old nephew developed a love for hacking. From anime chat , to snake , a minimal twitter , a blog , to an anime music startup , he’s built some cool stuff (1). What I’m most proud of though, is that he’s done this with self directed play, rather than with a rigid curriculum.
Full-Text Search is one of those tools people use every day without realizing it. If you ever googled "golang coverage report" or tried to find "indoor wireless camera" on an e-commerce website, you used some kind of full-text search.
Imagine tomorrow you go shopping and, for whatever reason, you never come back. Maybe be someone killed you, maybe someone kidnapped you, maybe you had an accident ... Now imagine you are travelling alone in Thailand and you die. How people who know you are going to find out what happen …
NEXT POST: Part II of my thoughts on TikTok, on how the app design is informed by its algorithm and vice versa in a virtuous circle.
Let’s start the week with Lambda Expressions. The plan is to have a set of concise articles presenting core elements of lambda expressions. Today you can see how the syntax has evolved starting since C++11 and what are the latest changes in C++20. The Series This blog post is a part of the series on lambdas:
I've been very surprised and delighted over a number of years now by Microsoft's strong efforts in open source. I understand the skeptics, I was on Slashdot when they tried to sue Linux out of existence and I think only time will tell. I figure MS contributing is better than them hunting Linux distributions for sport…
I mean, WTF?
One of the things I’ve wanted to do for a while is really dig into assembly and get into the weeds of how programs actually run. A rework of the asm macro has recently landed in nightly rust so it seemed like a good time.
In Prague, the C++ committee took a series of polls on whether to break ABI, and decided not to. There was no applause. But I’m not sure we fully understood what we did and the consequences it could have.
I’ve been working on the Consumer Voice Products team in Mozilla for about a year now. My primary project has been Firefox Voice , but our mandate is larger.

LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.
Architectural unrest about Autodesk and its support for the industry's design businesses is growing. Discontent has been simmering for a decade or more, and has led to calls for EU action.The rece
UPDATE 2020-08-03 : I no longer stand by the content in this post. I think the overall sentiment is marginally accurate; however, the details in the post are incorrect (as many have pointed out over the years).
