It’s been years ago (smartasses: it was also before llvm , ok?), but the sentence stuck with me. Do Kernighan and Ritchie really look at a C program and see assembly code? Does Tim Berners-Lee surf the Web any…

Far Cry: How the Fire Burns and Spreads (2012)
INTRO A few years ago, I got the opportunity to architect and code the fire propagation system in Far Cry 2. At that time, it was a gigantic task and it scared the hell out of me. Luckily, it turned out well enough. With the upcoming Far Cry 3, several people recently asked me how

Micro C, Part 3: Generating LLVM
In part 2, we completed the user facing part of the compiler with semantic analysis. Now we're free to focus on the backend, generating LLVM. To do so, we'll use the llvm-hs-pure library, which embeds LLVM into a Haskell ADT, allowing us to manipulate it without having to set up any FFI.|A blog about various…

Finding secrets by decompiling Python bytecode in public repositories
Cache rules everything around me. `pyc` files can contain secrets and should not be checked in to source control. Use the standard Python [.gitignore](https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Python.gitignore).
