Compiling the Original Commodore 64 KERNAL Source
Many reverse-engineered versions of “KERNAL”, the C64’s ROM operating system exist, and some of them even in a form that can be built into the original binary. But how about building the original C64 KERNAL source with the original tools?

A binary coder for Swift
In my last article I discussed the basics of Swift's new Codable protocol, briefly discussed how to implement your own encoder and decoder, and promised another article about a custom binary coder I've been working on. Today, I'm going to present that binary coder.

From math to machine: translating a function to machine code
In this post I'm going to explore how a mathematical concept can be redefined in progressively more computer-oriented terms, all the way from high level languages down to machine code, ready for direct execution by a computer. To that end, I'm going to define the same logic in several different but related formats:

Dynamic Programming in Python: Bayesian Blocks (2012)
Of all the programming styles I have learned, dynamic programming is perhaps the most beautiful. It can take problems that, at first glance, look ugly and intractable, and solve the problem with clean, concise code. Where a simplistic algorithm might accomplish something by brute force, dynamic programming steps back…

SIDH in Go for quantum-resistant TLS 1.3
Most of today's cryptography is designed to be secure against an adversary with enormous amounts of computational power. This means estimating how much work certain computations require, and choosing cryptographic parameters based on our best estimates.

Using Go for Scalable Operating System Analytics
At Kolide, part of what we do is build a client-server system that facilitates the management of large, isolated installations of an open-source tool called osquery. While I’ve written and spoken about osquery in the past, in this post I want to focus on how we use Go to solve many of the challenges we face building…
