Lifetimes of cryptographic hash functions
Quick summary of my recommendations on compare-by-hash: If you are using compare-by-hash to generate addresses for data that can be supplied by malicious users, you should have a plan to migrate to a new hash every few years. For example, BitTorrent falls into this category, but rsync doesn't. Keep in mind that new…

Learn Emacs Lisp in 15 minutes
I was surprised not to find an introduction to Emacs Lisp on learnxinyminutes.com, so I created one, which is now maintained there. Comments and feedback are we...

Applied Cryptography Engineering
Applied Cryptography taught two generations of developers what they know about crypto, and it is a dreadful instruction manual. The book to replace it with, and what you still have to learn after.

LLVM Intermediate Representation is better than assembly
The crucial part is IR. It's a common language that sits between the high-level program and the low-level backend . IR is used to express high level concepts and is specific enough that any backend can produce a fast machine code.

The famous book publisher Hayward Cirker, the founder of Dover Publications built a fortune on finding obscure books that had either gone out of print or escaped publication altogether, and printing them himself. Among his many successes you’ll find amazing books on mathematics and physics including The Theory of…

PyPy.js: First Steps
I've been spending a lot of time in JavaScript land lately. It's not totally unexpected – when I first applied for a job with Mozilla, I was warned only semi-jokingly that "they hire all the best Python programmers and then force them to write JavaScript".

JavaScript Isn't Scheme
It seems like I can’t spend five minutes on reddit these days without someone playing the JS-is-Scheme is card . I see everything from the innocuous, “JavaScript has a lot in common with Scheme”, all the way up to, “JavaScript is basically Scheme.” This is basically crazy.
