Let us say that I ask you to find the number I am thinking about between -1000 and 1000, by repeatedly guessing a number. With each guess, I tell you whether your guess is correct, smaller or larger than my number. A binary search algorithm tries to find a value in an interval by repeating … Continue reading Fast…
Master them in 20 minutes. Use them every day.

For context, we will first play Richard Stallman's 2014 TEDx talk called "Free Software, Free Society." The TEDx talk is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution - No Derivative Works 3.0 license. Afterwards, Richard Stallman will discuss what he believes will be good ways to improve Emacs. The EmacsConf talk…
I write a lot of reductions: loops that combine every element from a collection in some way. For example, summing a vector of integers:
Modern processors have powerful vector instructions which allow you to load several values at once, and operate (in one instruction) on all these values. Similarly, they allow you to have vector constants. Thus if you wanted to add some integer (say 10001) to all integers in a large array, you might first load a…
Is what we do development anymore?
Cloud infrastructure for teams that develop, train, and serve AI applications at scale.

Solving novel problems and setting a new milestone in competitive programming.
In this talk, Andrew Hyatt shows how to use SQLite to store and retrieve information using the triples package. Afterwards, he wil handle questions over BigBlueButton.
So, I’ve been working on a programming language in my spare time for over a year now. I’ll save you the details but it’s meant to be a minimal, easy-to-learn language for beginners. This year for the Advent of Code, I set myself a challenge; complete every day’s challenge using only my programming language.
The Q&A session for this talk does not have chapter markers yet. Would you like to help? See help with chapter markers for more details. You can use the vidid="wayland-qanda" if adding the markers to this wiki page, or e-mail your chapter notes to emacsconf-submit@gnu.org .
Are you building a Gameboy emulator? Are you stuck? Are you failing Blargg’s test ROMs and can’t work out why?
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of this new ChatGPT assistant made by OpenAI. Did you know, that you can run a whole virtual machine inside of ChatGPT?
I’ve been participating regularly in Advent of Code for the past couple of years. It’s one of the highlights of my holiday season. The puzzles are fun, the stories are appropriately ridiculous, and it’s a neat way for me to keep the cobwebs brushed off some of the things I learned years ago that I don’t regularly use…
I will try to solve all of the advent of code with as little human input as possible
I have built up a pretty good workflow in the terminal. The main thing that I was missing until now was an easy way to drag and drop the files that I am looking at in a terminal to other apps.
Integrating with other languages and distributing binaries has always raised the WebAssembly's barrier to entry for the average developer, and at Wasmer...
When I wrote the introductory article for libjit , I aimed it at programmers who know what JITs are, at least to some extent. I did mention what a JIT is, but only very briefly. The purpose of this article is to provide a better introductory overview of JITing, with code samples that don't rely on any libraries.
PHP, as the result of a spectacular error of judgement, appears to be written in US English. How do we developers ensure the traditions of the British Empire continue to be upheld, even in the digital age?
After using Vue 2 as our front-end framework for almost two years, it was announced that this support would no longer be maintained, so we decided to migrate to a new framework. But which one to choose: Vue 3 or Svelte? Please note that our goals after the migration were

Hello, World!
Rust prevents out-of-bounds memory accesses and buffer overruns via runtime bounds checks - what’s the cost of those bounds checks for a real-world, production application?
We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.
It’s been almost two years since my last update here. A lot has happened. I hope you all are continuing to weather the ongoing multiple global pandemics and other anthropogenic crises. Apolog…
