Faster than radix sort: Kirkpatrick-Reisch sorting
Radix sort sorts n w-bit integers by splitting them up into chunks of logn\log nlogn bits each, and sorting each chunk in linear time. Thus it achieves O(nw/logn)O(nw/\log n)O(nw/logn) time.

ClojureScript Is Not An Island: Integrating Node Modules
ClojureScript has had first class JavaScript interop since its initial release in 2011. Similarly to Clojure, embracing the host has always been an explicit goal. While the above is true from a syntax standpoint, integrating with external JavaScript libraries historically came at the cost of some manual work [ 1 ] (…

Chiptunes on an ATtiny4 and the 3 Cent Micro
Ever since hearing about Rob Miles' Bitshift Variations in C Minor , a 4-voice polyphonic 16 minute piece of algorithmically generated music, I wanted to implement it in hardware. Getting it onto just any microcontroller seemed too easy , so I wanted it to run on the smallest µC I could find — the ATtiny4. A while…

Understanding Programs Using Graphs
I want to show you a little of what this sea-of-nodes graph data structure looks like and how it works, and I think it’s worth doing this for this for a couple of reasons.

Reproducing Go binaries byte by byte
Fully reproducible builds are important because they bridge the gap between auditable open source and convenient binary artifacts. Technologies like TUF and Binary Transparency provide accountability for what binaries are shipped to users, but that’s of limited utility if there is no way (short of reverse engineering)…

Extreme debugging - a tale of microcode and an oven
It's been quite awhile since I debugged a computer program. Too long. Although I miss coding, the thing I miss more is the process of findin...

My Blog Engine Is the Erlang Build Tool
From time to time, people ask me what I use to power my blog, maybe because they like the minimalist form it has. I tell them it’s a bad idea and that I use the Erlang compiler infrastructure for it, and they agree to look elsewhere.

A Cookbook for Machine Learning: Vol 1
This was a busy week, I had no time to read anything new, so I'm sharing a note that I wrote for myself, for no other reason than to understand things better. It's a kind of cookbook of various "transformations" you can apply to...

Implement with types, not your brain (2019)
When asked about the virtues of Haskell’s strong type system, most people will say the best part is that it lets you refactor with a zen-like tranquility, or that it stops your program from crashing at runtime. I mean, those are both great. But my favorite part is that having a strong type system means I don’t need to…
