For me, this month marks the end of an era in my life: as of February 2018, I am no longer employed writing Haskell. It’s been a fascinating two years, and while I am excitedly looking forward to what I’ll be doing next, it’s likely I will continue to write Haskell in my spare time. I’ll probably even write it again…
I still keep a couple of my favorite old smartphones. Sometimes I use one of them as my primary device for fun. Phones are among the fastest evolving markets, even a year makes a whole lot of differences. One of the biggest challenges with using old phones is the software: they don't run modern software. And old…
Lazarus Lazaridis’ personal blog with posts mostly related to programming and opensource. And cats.
There have been a few efforts at writing an Emacs JIT — the original one , Burton Samograd’s , and also Nick LLoyd’s . So, what else to do except write my own?
This is really the same article as Part 1 - Hello CUDA, but with the focus on OpenCL, so I'll skip most of the narration and just show you the code.
Explore the Qt Blog for the latest insights on e.g. Qt Creator, your go-to source for cross-platform development tips and updates.
Here are a few things you can do to make your life easier when starting a new ASP.NET Core project, or reducing duplicate code without using boilerplate. Validate model state automatically The usual way would be to have this in almost every action in all controllers: if (!ModelState.IsValid) { // return bad request…
The Login Widget offers a frictionless way to authorize users on your website and ask for permission to contact them on Telegram.
Here is an argument I used to make, but now disagree with: Just to add another perspective, I find many “performance” problems in the real world can often be attributed to factors other…
In this post I will describe the differences between functions and coroutines and provide a bit of theory about the operations they support. The aim of this post is introduce some foundational concepts that will help frame the way you think about C++ Coroutines.
If you read my recent post about Postgres you may have noted that Postgres operates primarily with fixed-size blocks of memory called “pages.” By default, Postgres pages are 8KB. This number is tuned to match operating system page sizes which are tuned to match hardware cache sizes. If you were to run Postgres on…
ReasonML advertises itself as Syntax and toolchain for OCaml. In this article, I'll try my best to explain what ReasonML offers to the…
Today, we are announcing the preview of Android KTX - a set of extensions designed to make writing Kotlin code for Android more concise, idiomatic, and pleasant. Android KTX provides a nice API layer on top of both Android framework and Support Library to make writing your Kotlin code more natural.
Pivot SQL tables with CASE or FILTER. Turn rows into columns for the entity-attribute-value model (EAV).
CSS is strangely considered both one of the easiest and one of the hardest languages to learn as a web developer. It’s certainly easy…
LLVM is a godsend of a research tool. Here are some detailed notes on what LLVM is, why you would want to use it for research, and how to get started as a compiler hacker.

‘Monadic Parsing in Haskell’ is a short paper that laid the groundwork for libraries like Parsec and Attoparsec. Although it was published in 1998 (almost 20 years ago!) it has aged gracefully and the code samples will run with almost no changes. However, the state of the art has advanced since then and I think the…
I explain how Compiler Explorer runs on Amazon's cloud computing infrastructure
The earliest memory I had of arcade video games was watching my older brother and cousins going at the video game machines at Genting Highlands. While our parents were at the other types of games Genting Highlands was more popularly known for, we were generally let loose to play arcade games to our hearts' content…
In this brief post I want to discuss a fairly unusual feature of Haskell - functions that can be parameterized by their return type.
