Magicians protect their secrets not because the secrets are large and important, but because they are so small and trivial. The wonderful effects created on stage are often the result of a secret so absurd that the magician would be embarrassed to admit that that was how it was done.
Hey, if all I have is lemons – I have no choice but to make lemonade out of them! if reproducible serious bugs are ignored for many months, it indicates one ...
Recently we’ve seen how WebAssembly is incredibly fast to compile, speeding up JS libraries, and generating even smaller binaries. We’ve even got a high-level plan for better interoperability between the ...

concurrent.futures is well suited to Embarrassingly Parallel tasks. You could write concurrent code with a simple for loop.
Spring framework is arguably one of the most popular application development frameworks used by java developers. It currently consists of a large number of modules providing a range of services. These include a component container, aspect oriented programming support for building cross cutting concerns, security…
The C++ Standard moves at a fast pace. Probably, not all developers caught up with C++11/14 yet and recently we got C++17. Now it’ time to prepare C++20! A few weeks ago The C++ Committee had an official ISO meeting in Jacksonville, FL (12-17 March 2018) where they worked hard on the new specification.
Programming is a fundamentally incremental (or gradual) process, and our programming languages should reflect that. I show several ways in which program models transition over time and discuss how future research can further a human-centric vision for programming languages.
Some tips for how to be more productive in Rust by avoiding situations you cannot solve in Rust.
I’ve been going through a period of programming language wanderlust over the past couple months. Recently, I’ve been quite interested in Rust. Coming from Python, I’ve found a lot of Rust’s language features to be quite powerful.
I’ve decided to learn some Rust recently while working on the Stanford’s experimental course on operating systems. R...
ES modules bring an official, standardized module system to JavaScript. With the release of Firefox 60 in May, all major browsers will support ES modules, and there is current work ...
Proposing official support for package versioning in Go, using Go modules.
A few thoughts on Rust after a few months of regular use.
I occasionally give free Go consults and code review on top of my daily work. As such, I tend to read a lot of other peoples’ codes. And while this is really more of a feeling *Now, you should go, really? You're a statistician by training ffs, I’ve seen an increase in what I call “Java-style” interface usage. This…
In the book club at work, we recently finished reading Exercises in Programming Style by Cristina Videira Lopes. The book consists of a simple program implemented in 33 different programming styles…
The Personal blog and musings of Chris Penner, a designer, developer and future opsimath.
A case study on how compilers decouple components from each other using data.
Provide a low-overhead data collection framework for troubleshooting Java applications and the HotSpot JVM.
To be a useful as a web language, Rust needs to work well with the JavaScript ecosystem. We have some work to do to get there, and fortunately that work ...
Musings on navigating the tech bubble with philosophy and self-improvement.
Before we dive into the technical details, let’s start with a quick history lesson, courtesy of Don Syme who worked on adding generics to .NET and then went on to design and implement F#, which is a pretty impressive set of achievements!!
As of Chrome 64, Chrome for Windows is compiled with Clang. We now use Clang to build Chrome for all platforms it runs on: macOS, iOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Windows.
Having benefited from “var” for many years when writing c#, I’m delighted that Java is at last getting support for local variable type inference in JDK 10. From JDK 10 instead of saying ArrayList<String> foo = new ArrayList<String>(); we can say var foo = new ArrayList<String>(); and the type of “foo” is inferred as…
Laziness is often useful. It allows you to express “infinite” computations, and only pay for as much of the computation as you need.
