Comparing performances I decided to compare the performances of the OpenSource Linux Userspace Emulator that allows you to run x86/x86_64 apps on ARM linux. There are QEMU-user, FEX-emu and Box86/Box64. How to bench Linux userspace emulator Test will consist of the bench I already used a couple of time, and that can…
In this essay, Carson Gross explores alternatives to Single Page Applications (SPAs), advocating for an 'HTML-Centric' development approach. He highlights the drawbacks of SPA complexity and the benefits of embracing HTML as the core medium for web development, offering a simpler, more efficient way to build…
I've been thinking about supplementing another language to Python for some time – mainly to cope with areas Python struggles with, or is a pain to use (which I'll go over in a minute). I had used C/C++ some years ago, but don't want to go back to them. C
In this article, Carson Gross explores how the term REST (Representational State Transfer) evolved to mean nearly the opposite of its original definition in modern web development. It traces how REST, originally defined by Roy Fielding to describe the web's architecture of hypermedia-driven interactions, came to be…
I found this interesting print-ad for WordPerfect for UNIX, apparently the best UNIX product of 1992! (Very) Belated congratulations Corel!
Different approaches for tracking visitor counts with PostgreSQL.
As a 13 year old, my dad’s advice on internet presence was: “Everything you post will be used against you in the future. So you should never associate your name with anything on the internet”. As a rebellious teenager my view was the opposite: “Everything you post on the internet will get lost. You should associate…
Code level discussion of web scraping, gray hat automation, growth hacking and bounty hunting
Discover how programming language tooling has evolved over time and why newer languages like Go and Rust have gained popularity due to their compre...
As it continues to evolve, WebAssembly has the potential to be the platform executing an enormous amount of IoT computation.
When you maintain a project, publishing new releases can quickly become a chore, so naturally one tries to automate it as much as possible.
Post-mortem report for the outage on July 13th and 14th 2022
Python is another very nice general purpose programming language. Goingfrom Python to Ruby, you’ll find that there’s a little bit more syntaxto learn than wi...
A few times a week, someone asks on the #gui-and-ui channel on the Rust Discord, “what is the best UI toolkit for my application?” Unfortunately there is still no clear answer to this question. Generally the top contenders are egui, Iced, and Druid, with Slint looking promising as well, but web-based approaches such…
One of my projects over the past couple of years has been Synit , a Syn dicate init (really, systemd and D-Bus ) replacement. Synit underpins another project, #squeak-phone , a sketch of an alternative to Android for personal computing on a mobile device.
Why I created Scrumdog - a program to download Jira Issues to a local database
Parallax scrolling – creating an illusion of depth in a 2D scene by having the background and foreground move at different speeds – is pretty much a staple of platformers and other 2D g…
Salus is a general purpose, enterprise-proven, build-time SBOM generator. It works across platforms including Windows, Linux, and Mac, and uses the standard Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) format.
(Or, “regularized greedy algorithms and their applications.”) James Gilles “Algorithm” is one of those words that sounds fancier than it really deserves. We hear all the time about the “facebook algorithm”, the “youtube algorithm”, “high frequency trading algorithms”, “artificial intelligence algorithms”, and so on…
Collected tips from building the Austral compiler.
Will ML code generation like GitHub Copilot replace coding by hand? We say no: developers still maintain generated code, so abstraction matters.
We are so happy to announce that after 6 months some 1.5K+ commits, we are ready to show you a preview of Nyxt 3! As always, there's a lot of new features (bugs), so your feedback is critical!
Hi — thank you for reading this article! We’d love to talk to you about what you’re making in our C#-focused Discord for Godot game…
RabbitMQ Crash Course for 2025
One could say I have a bit of an obsession with build times. I believe having a “tight feedback loop” is extremely valuable: when I work on a large codebase, I want to be able to make small increme...
I have a hard time believing I'm the first person to post this after not finding anything in the forum. I wouldn't doubt if Microsoft is deleting them...

A few weird ideas for programming languages I came up with that it'd be "really" "cool" if someone made (wink)
