I came across a question: How does one efficiently solve Two Sum in C? There’s a naive quadratic time solution, but also an amortized linear time solution using a hash table. Without a built-in or standard library hash table, the latter sounds onerous. However, a mask-step-index table , a hash table construction…
Listen, I didn’t plan on making a whole ‘writing X like Y’ series. But here we are.
the studio has always played to critics instead of children and manipulated with cheap sentiment
Wondering about Rust? We're addressing rumors and providing insight gained from years of early adoption of Rust here at Google.
Developed at Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies, a new robot can autonomously choose from a variety of motions to move through a complex environment.
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to develop terminal applets like UI components?

Linux From Scratch or LFS is a project that provides and maintains a set of instructions of how to build your own Linux system from scratch. I am always curious to understand how things work ‘under the hood’, and since I’m a daily Linux user i decided to take on the challenge to try and complete building Linux From…
As a reaction to the previous article on how to write a scientific paper, I got some reactions from friends and colleagues, the underlying message being that they would rather like to understand why writing can be important. There is indeed a tendency to see academic writing as a tedious task that one should try to…
John Maynard Keynes? Paul Samuelson? Winston Churchill? Joan Robinson? Apocryphal?
The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%, supposedly to tackle inflation. There is just one problem with this decision. The Bank knows that much of the inflation we are suffering is being driven by rising oil and energy prices, largely resulting from conflict in the Middle East. It also...
A comprehensive reference for advanced command-line utilities that provide unique macOS functionality.
In this article I will take a look at the classic concurrent ring buffer and how it can be optimized to increase throughput.
Building agents with LLM (large language model) as its core controller is a cool concept. Several proof-of-concepts demos, such as AutoGPT, GPT-Engineer and BabyAGI, serve as inspiring examples. The potentiality of LLM extends beyond generating well-written copies, stories, essays and programs; it can be framed as a…
Check out the impressive results of the large-scale Folia test that took place on June 18th, 2023. Learn more about our findings and technical challenges in this post.
We offer tax credits for electric cars — but ebikes are arguably even more transformative
Take a practical approach to containerization as we guide you through the step-by-step process of building your own Docker-like environment using Linux namespaces, cgroups, and chroot. Dive into the code and command examples to gain a deeper understanding of how these technologies work together to create isolated and…
Lately, there's been an resurgence of new programs written for retro computers—everything from a Slack client to many Wordle clones, to a Mastodon client. But most of these programs, if they connect to the Internet, require a proxy running on a modern computer to handle the SSL/TLS connection, which almost all APIs…

More about Red Hat's decision to make CentOS Stream the primary repository for RHEL sources.
Made by interviewers for candidates – we spent hundreds of hours talking to technical interviewers from FAANG about their processes.
Discover the roots of burnout, its distinct symptoms, and key causes. Learn to identify potential signs and explore strategies to overcome this chronic syndrome.
Two years ago, Red Hat killed CentOS, a widely-used free version of their Enterprise Linux distribution. The community of CentOS users—myself included—were labeled as 'freeloaders', using the work of the almighty Red Hat corporation, without contributing anything back. Don't mind all the open source developers, Linux…
For every n, there is a base b such that n! = b^n. The relation between n and b(n) is surprisingly close to linear.
Rendering text, how hard could it be? As it turns out, incredibly hard! To my knowledge, literally no system renders text “perfectly”. It’s all best-effort, although some efforts are more important than others.
I wrote a simple dexec script to make running commands through Docker containers less clunky. I'll show you what dexec is and how to use it!
