Root cause analysis? You're doing it wrong
If you have arrived here, you should know this is an early draft containing mostly unedited stream-of-consciousness crap because I have found it difficult to structure this topic. My latest attempt is to split this information up into multiple separate articles.

Writing a blatant Telegram clone using Qt, QML and Rust. And C++
This was a fun project for a couple of days, but I will probably shelve it for now so I can continue what I was already working on before. Read on to follow along with my journey. Spoilers: I didn’t get very far.

Bringing a dynamic environment to C: My linker project
I'm writing a linker. It's an unusual linker. It's focus is not on producing executable files. Instead, its focus is to facilitate rapid iteration on a program without having to re-link or re-open it after making changes. It is hot-loading of code at an object-file granularity.

The social side of science seen in the research on programming language quality
I love science. Not the “space is beautiful” faux-science, but the process of doing science.

Finding unique items: hash vs. sort
A while back, I was trying to speed up some code which finds unique items in a collection. For example, transforming "AABBADCAB" => "ABDC" .
