(Recently I found the following text in manuscript among old papers of mine. It must have been written in the middle of 1973, but I don't think that in the intervening three years it has lost anything of its significance. Hence I now incorporate it in the EWD-series.)
Explore the Qt Blog for the latest insights on e.g. Qt Creator, your go-to source for cross-platform development tips and updates.
Introduction of a new feature-rich golang Jupyter kernel
Single-page apps are all the rage nowadays. Many praise their vague technical benefits while ignoring tremendous development costs.
More or less all the big APIs are RESTful these days. Yeah, you can quibble about what “REST” means (and I will, a bit) but the assertion is broadly true. Is it going to stay that way forever? Seems unlikely. So, what’s next?

Rust can be difficult to learn and frustrating, but its also the most exciting thing in software development in a long time. Learn more by reading our blog.
Jen Simmons' seven-part mini-series on resilient CSS and how you can create great graphic design on the web, now, and not have to worry about all the old browsers.
Erlang was released as Open Source by Ericsson 8 December 1998. What made it all happen? Find out the story behind continuing to build products to make the world a better place with tools for fault tolerant and scalable systems available to the masses.
This is my journey building an open source car system with Go & Qt, rear camera, live OpenGL map … Cross compilation In Part I, I had to patch qtmultimedia for the camera to work, but Qt compilation is resource hungry, same goes for the osrm compilation, the memory of the Raspberry Pi is too small. I had to to set up…
On the Dolphin Forums, one of the more common questions that come up is "How come I can emulate this Wii game just fine but this GameCube game is slow?" While those more knowledgeable about the intricacies of emulation may roll their eyes, it does warrant some explanation. Usually when...
On UNIX-like operating systems, userland processes invoke kernel procedures using the "syscall" feature. Each syscall is identified by a "syscall number" and has a short list of parameters, which both can vary between operating systems, hardware platforms, and configuration options.

The mobile team at Udacity recently removed the last features in our apps using React Native. Here's what worked and what didn't.
Josef “Jeff” Sipek's Blahg
The official home of the Python Programming Language
More than thirteen years have passed since Herb Sutter declared that the free lunch is over and concurrency is upon us , and yet it's hard to claim that most mainstream languages have made a strong shift towards concurrent modes of programming. We have to admit that concurrency is just hard , and the struggles of some…
A few thoughts on Rust after a few months of regular use.
Kubernetes and related technologies, such as Red Hat OpenShift and Istio, provide the non-functional requirements that used to be part of an application server and the additional capabilities
Rules of optimization: 1) Design for performance from day 1 2) Profile often 3) Be vigilant on performance regressions 4) Understand the data 5) Understand the HW 6) Help the compiler 7) Verify your assumptions Performance is everyone's responsibility https://t.co/CwwJffnHGz
