Using graph theory and Ryanair route data to find cheap multi-city flight loops through Europe.
I have a theory that a grave mistake was made in 1995 - the decision not to have a neat, succinct and declarative way of representing html elements in javascript. [On reading the hacker news comments this is pretty historically inaccurate, however, I think this article still stands as "look just how close javascript…
For people who've worked through Mastery with SQL , a common question I get is "What's next?" If you completed the course and all 150+ exercises, at this point you'll have a very strong grasp of SQL and should be comfortable writing all sorts of complex queries. However, there's more to working with databases…
Clang is an “LLVM native” C/C++/Objective-C compiler, which aims to deliver amazingly fast compiles […]
Spoiler: C++ isn′t faster or slower — that′s not the point, actually. This article continues our good tradition of busting myths about the Rust language shared by some big-name Russian companies.
What a commit history of version-controlled research papers could look like?
Normally when I write about something on here I take the time to fully think-out a point, make a case, address all the major sides of the issue that I can think of, etc.
What is the most beautiful piece of code you have ever seen? Not only it is subjective, "beauty" is also a word that can mean a lot of things. If we were to be discussing of raw speed, I would bring up the Fast Inverse Square Root [1] . If we were to judge by aesthetic, my answer would be Andrew Kensler's, 1337 bytes…

And that is exactly what it was. The site started in a world before smartphones and tablets at a time where Apple products…

The web is amazing and amazingly complex
...and the crucial role it plays in modern operating systems.
I’ve noticed a small pattern across a few of my projects where I had vectorized and parallelized some code. The original algorithm had a “push” approach, the optimized version instead took a “pull” approach. In this article I’ll describe what I mean, though it’s mostly just so I can show off some pretty videos…
