The Rust compiler is written in Rust. This is overall a pretty common practice in compiler development. This usually means that the process of …
This post explores using WebTorrent for serverless data synchronization in web apps, demonstrated by modifying the Voice Memos PWA.

I initially wrote this post for myself, I wanted to understand enough about the underlying physical storage to be able to grasp other concepts which can affect your database. This post is probably more aimed to people with similar interests, I will try to keep it accurate but the aim is to make it simpler to…
Not all developers make positive contributions. Some create more work for others than they do themselves.

Neural networks have the rather uncanny knack for turning meaning into numbers. Data flows from the input to the output, getting pushed through a series of transformations which process the data into increasingly abstruse vectors of representations. These numbers, the activations of the network, carry useful…
Like many, I was surprised and shocked by the election of Donald Trump as president. I believe his ideas, temperament, and inexperience represent a grave threat to our country and world. Suddenly, all the things I had planned to work on seemed trivial in comparison. Although Internet security and privacy are not the…
A little while back I found need of a PNG loader for a small project of mine . Being a complete tool I of course decided to write my own -- after all, why save yourself effort when there are still wheels waiting to be reinvented?
