Sircmpwn (the main developer behind the Sway Wayland compositor ) recently wrote a blog post about how he thinks Rust is not a good C replacement . I don’t know if he’d like the D programming language either, but it’s become a C replacement for me.
In this blog post, I will present one of the most interesting additions to the community 2019 version of SPARK: pointer support. One of the core…
One of the frequent challenges in C is that pointers are nothing but a memory address. A callee who is passed a pointer doesn’t truly know anything other than the type of object being pointed at, which says some things about alignment and how that pointer can be used… maybe. If it’s a pointer to void ( void * ) then…
Beginning of the month Apple announced SwiftUI at the WWDC 2019. A single “cross platform”, “declarative” framework used to build tvOS, macOS, watchOS and iOS UIs. SwiftWebUI is bringing that to the Web ✔️
Back in mid-90s before anyone I knew had an Internet connection, a few of us had modems and would use them to call bulletin board systems via the phone line. On these systems what to me seemed the main thing was discussions and chat. For the first time I could talk to other like-minded people, and just being able to…
The other day, being unable to find a suitable open-source text editor for cpmish , I sat down and wrote a simple vi-like editor. It took nine hours. I have it all on video.
Only dead fish go with the flow. As I promised in the last article, today we’re finally going to do a deep dive into the topic of scopes. This is what we’re going to learn today: We’re going to learn about scopes, why they are useful, and …
Awk is a very nice language with a very strange name. In this first article of a three-part series, Daniel Robbins will quickly get your awk programming skills up to speed. As the series progresses, more advanced topics will be covered, culminating with an advanced real-world awk application demo.

Brave Shields, which protect users’ privacy from trackers and ads, are one of the cornerstone components of the browser involved in handling every single web request made for loading a website.
It seems like small thing, but it’s an engineering detail I’ve always had a lot of respect for.
What Go 2 language changes should we include in Go 1.14?
Dynamic programming has a reputation as a technique you learn in school, then only use to pass interviews at software companies. Indeed, most developers do not regularly work on problems where dynamic programming is needed. Ultimately, dynamic programming is a technique for efficiently solving problems that can be…
In which I lament the fact that many frontend Web engineers don't understand the end product of their work, HTML.

Python application distribution is generally considered an unsolved problem. At their PyCon 2019 keynote talk, Russel Keith-Magee identified code distribution as a potential black swan - an existential threat for longevity - for Python. In their words, Python hasn't ever had a consistent story for how I give my code…
Elixir v1.9 is out with releases support, improved configuration and more.
I often see code where authors abstract away details by placing them in some external function. Here is a toy example:
Trinity is a fully chained exploit for the PS Vita™ consisting of six unique vulnerabilities. It is based on a decade of knowledge and research. The source code of Trinity can be found here.
