A few days ago I published a short post about two bugs I wrote while developing the C++ external scanner for my TLA⁺ tree-sitter grammar. Reactions were mixed! Many people were supportive, but there were of course the usual drive-by claims by developers that the bugs were trivial, they would’ve found & fixed them…
This was a post on [Quora](https://qr.ae/pG0hvt) and I thought I have more to say than I can write in a reply, so here goes, a blog article inst...
A look at what went into building the world's largest public code search index.
Last month I have been developing a Rust tool to create container images from Conda environments, without going through Docker. It was a wild trip down the rabbit hole of OCI images, so I thought I’d share part of the adventure here. Enjoy! But why? If you are used to building container images, you might be asking…
State is where architectures rot. Learn why OO, functional, declarative, imperative, IoC, and monoliths are all fighting the same fire in systems.
When I see the landscape of native GUI in 2022, I feel like something is missing.
In this post, I'll show you a common pitfall you should avoid when teaching during code reviews.
Introduction Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a form of programmable hardware that has become inexpensive and accessible recently. I recently purchased a Digilent Basys 3 FPGA development…

Back in 2017 I wrote an article in which I attempted to explain how YouTube works under the hood, how it serves streams to the client, and also how you can exploit that knowledge to download videos from the site. The primary goal of that write-up was to…
<p>A new take on the age-old question: Should you rewrite your application from scratch, or is that “the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make”? Turns out there are more than two options for dealing with a mature codebase.</p>

Thousands of cam girls live right now from Colombia, the US, Europe and Asia. Watch free with no signup, and see when each model is usually online.
What, why, who?
I've been on many projects that get canceled. We're building cool stuff. We're going above and beyond, and we're excited. But the project encounters reality, shifting priorities, or budgeting constraints, and the work never goes anywhere. It always feels tragic, but then I move on. But what if I didn't let a project…
Rémy Rakic is helping us enable the adoption of memory safe software through work to improve Rust compile times. We asked him to provide his perspective on the work in this blog post. Thank you for your partnership and contributions, Rémy! Josh Aas, Head of ISRG's Prossimo project Introduction Over the past few months…
Exploring the area of using Rust to write Mesa Vulkan drivers.
Audio formats typically fall into one of three categories: “lossless” , “complicated” or “bad” . After developing a simple image format last year, I tried to come up with an audio format that fits neither of these categories.
