Research papers in the .NET source
This post is completely inspired by (or ‘copied from’ depending on your point of view) a recent post titled JAVA PAPERS (also see the HackerNews discussion). However, instead of looking at Java and the JVM, I’ll be looking at references to research papers in the .NET language, runtime and compiler source code.

Functor-Oriented Programming
My style of Haskell programming has been evolving over the 15 years that I have been working with it. It is turning into something that I would like to call “functor oriented programming”.

.NET Core Image Processing
Image processing, and in particular image resizing, is a common requirement for web applications. As such, I wanted to paint a panorama of the options that exist for .NET Core to process images. For each option, I’ll give a code sample for image resizing, and I’ll outline interesting features. I’ll conclude with a…

Golang: Don't be afraid of makefiles
I’m using Golang for a while. During the development, I was used to repeatedly execute “go build”,“go test” manually. This was a bad habit on which I resign. It is not so painful if you use simple command without any args. But in case of more complex tasks, naturally, it is going to be a…

Writing a Raytracer in Rust – Part 1
Hello! This is part one of a short series of posts on writing a simple raytracer in Rust. I’ve never written one of these before, so it should be a learning experience all around. So what is a raytracer anyway? The short version is it’s a computer program that traces the paths of simulated rays of light through a…
