This post is about uninitialized memory, but also about the semantics of highly optimized “low-level” languages in general. I will try to convince you that reasoning by “what the hardware d...
Warning: All of this doesn’t really follow any best practices for working with html, css or javascript - on the contrary: what we will be doing may look horrible to some people, and rightfully so - so you may not want to try those things at work just yet.
Evaluating Rust as the common denominator of modern development
Cedarwood is an effort to speed up jieba-rs , an efficient implementation of trie is needed in order to satisfying the following needs.
In order to hide your IP address and to try and limit throttling when web scraping, it might be a good idea to use a proxy such as Tor. This post describes how to use Python based web scraping tools and Tor to hide yourself when scraping websites for data. However, it can also be used more broadly when using Python to…
Many people come to Clojure from an imperative language and find themselves out of their element when faced with Clojure’s approach to doing things, while others are coming from a more functional background and assume that once they leave Clojure’s functional subset, they will be faced with the same story re: state as…
A paper on debugging non-deterministic concurrency issues interactively.
This is a talk and slides from Narrascope 2019 , held at MIT, Boston, on 14-16 June 2019. It's a sequel to a talk given in London a year earlier , when I went into "literate programming" at greater depth, but when the design of Inter was more embryonic. I'd like to thank the Narrascope organisers for fitting me in to…
This type of highlighting is ideal for assembly. With it, the things that shouldn't seem similar usually don't.
The first task of last week's Weekly Challenge was to print the first ten strong and weak primes. A prime p n is "strong" if it's larger than the average of its two neighbouring primes ( i.e. p n > (p n-1 +p n+1 )/2 ). A prime is "weak" if it's smaller than the average of its two neighbours.
We sometimes think of the number of passes in a compiler as a measure of the compiler’s complexity. But what if we could make compiler development more approachable by fully embracing the ide…
The recent Zoom vulnerability is just one of many examples which show us that many developers do not understand how CORS works
This post describes a compile-time technique for catching use-after-move bugs in modern C++. It’s currently used to prevent some mistakes in the Serenity Operating System.
I wanted to give an update on the status of the “async-await foundations” working group. This post aims to cover three things:

I've just finished teaching a four-day course introducing software engineering for the first time. My plan is to refine the course (I'm teaching it again in October), and it will eventually become the basis for doctoral training programmes in research software engineering at Oxford, and part of a taught Masters. My…
A little over a decade ago, there were some popular blogposts about whether Ruby was an acceptable Lisp or whether even Lisp was an acceptable Lisp . Peter Norvig was also writing at the time introducing Python to Lisp programmers . Lisp, those in the know knew, was the right thing to strive for, and yet seemed…
I’m a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it’s one of the reasons git has been fairly successful… I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important…
This article is based on my GopherCon Singapore 2019 presentation. In the presentation I referenced material from my post on declaring variables and my GolangUK 2017 presentation on SOLID design . For brevity those parts of the talk have been elided from this article. If you prefer, you can watch the recording of the…
How to use Python to generate 3D SVG.
Update: Renamed the library to avoid the name Clash with QNX Photon.Let me tell you a bit about Elements... From my previous post about Ascend, some folks noticed its existence and actually found the github repository. The repository is rather underwhelming, I thought to myself, devoid of any do
Here are 10 tips to keep in mind when reviewing code submissions that, for whatever reason, you (as a project maintainer) do not like.
For my ten years in the Erlang community, I decided to cover a few topics such as hype phases and how this related to Erlang, the ladder of ideas within the language and how that can impact adoption, what changed in my decade there, and what I think Erlang still has to bring to the programming community at large.
