Donut.c Without a Math Library
My little donut.c has been making the rounds again, after being featured in a couple YouTube videos (e.g., Lex Fridman and Joma Tech ). If I had known how much attention this code would get over the years, I would have spent more time on it.

This requires that Dash connect to your network, putting you perilously close to having some DUDE delivered with your IoT mood lighting.

A gentle intro to assembly with Rust
One of the things I’ve wanted to do for a while is really dig into assembly and get into the weeds of how programs actually run. A rework of the asm macro has recently landed in nightly rust so it seemed like a good time.

An Introduction to Vectorization
