This section is a follow-up to the previous one , where we optimized binary search by the means of removing branching and improving the memory layout. Here, we will also be searching in sorted arrays, but this time we are not limited to fetching and comparing only one element at a time.
It’s an established fact on the internet that we have ran out of IP(v4) addresses , and we are starting to see the pressure on obtaining IPv4 space. For example if you want to get a /24 block from RIPE NCC when you sign up as a member, then you are currently looking at a 2 month wait for a recycled IPv4 /24 block .
Have you ever though about building an iOS app? I did, but I now wish that I hadn’t.
One of the great headaches of developing interactive graphics applications for online deployment is covering every base. Your targets likely include a near-infinite combination of browser vendors, browser versions, and graphics hardware. The Khronos Group created WebGL to slice through this Gordian knot, rendering…
In 1983, the PX-1000 pocket telex used DES encryption. But with help of Philips, the NSA managed to replace DES with an alternative (weaker) algorithm that they could break. That NSA algorithm is now broken.
Software development is not all clean code and automated processes -- and it never will be. Buyers and vendors both need to realize this.
We’re pleased to share that Elastic and Amazon have resolved the trademark infringement lawsuit related to the term Elasticsearch. Now the only Elasticsearch service on AWS and the AWS Marketplace is ...
It’s my ritual: every time I enter a secondhand bookshop, I go straight to the Sciences section and search for old computer …
One of the goals of this newsletter is to figure out ways to improve construction productivity and reduce the costs of construction, particularly residential construction (ie: housing) - if you could reduce the costs of construction, housing costs would fall as well.

Most elementary school children probably already know that three apples plus two apples add up to five apples. However, what happens in the brain during such calculations is still largely unknown. The current study by the Universities of Bonn and Tübingen now sheds light on this issue.
Does it stop third-party tracking? Or is it just an illusion of privacy?
I've been interested in games programming since I started learning programming as a teenager more than 25 years ago (gasp!) I started with Qbasic and Gorillas.bas, but never understood the code. Of course, I didn't get anywhere at the time, beyond very basic games. I wrote a simple Shoot
No one should build permissions and RBAC on their own. Aserto's authorization-as-a-service platform is here to make sure of it!
This post introduces Arrow Flight SQL, a protocol for interacting with SQL databases over Arrow Flight. We have been working on this protocol over the last six months, and are looking for feedback, interested contributors, and early adopters.
I have a vehement dislike for misleading advertising. We see it every day; weight loss pills, make money fast schemes and if you travel in the same circles I do, claims that extended validation (EV) certificates actually do something useful: > Why are you still claiming this @digicert [https://twitter.com/
Commenting, venting, or ranting. Usually about entrepreneurship, tech, or self-reflection.
I joined Scale AI late last summer. It’s been a crazy experience — Scale is growing incredibly fast right now, hitting a valuation of over $7 billion last year and recently signing a $250 mil…
Imitate, then Innovate is my motto for improving at any skill. It’s counterintuitive, but the more we imitate others, the faster we can discover our unique style.

This is not a post on a technical topic, but rather on a common pitfall for engineers – we like to point out something wrong the moment we see it. Understandably, we are very good at it. We are basically trained for it. When it comes to code reviews, or design reviews for complicated distributed system protocols, we…
