Clojure beginners sometimes struggle with setting up a new Clojure deps.edn project compared to setting up a lein project. This is one of the reasons I've built neil . But not only for beginners, I've been using neil myself a ton too, to add common features to existing deps.edn projects. You may think that neil is a…
Debug your programs like they're closed source!
Learning to prove theorems via interacting with proof assistants Yang & Deng, ICML’19 Something a little different to end the week: deep learning meets theorem proving! It’s been a while …
“Why can’t we just write this code once and have it just work across Web, Android and iOS?” As a mobile engineer who has spent both a significant portion of his career copying the exact same product from iOS to Android, I’ve asked myself this question many times.
Compiling Lisp primitive unary functions to x86-64

After the ACE BASIC posts of the last months, this one is about a different project I have been working on for the last half year: CL-Amiga , or Clamiga for short. It is a Common Lisp implementation built for the Amiga family -- classic AmigaOS 3 on 68k and MorphOS as a fully native PPC build, AROS and AmigaOS 4 maybe…
WARNING: 2018-04-12 : The code snippets for this post are no longer available. This is just as well anyway, since they all depended on an unstable internal compiler interface, which hasn’t existed for years.
Today we're releasing our RC of TypeScript 2.4. To get started with the latest stable version of TypeScript, you can grab it through NuGet, or use the
A deep dive into ongoing efforts adapting language models for diffusion-based ARC solving.
In order to speed up development, as well as make sure gccrs exposes the exact same behavior as rustc in critical compiler passes, we decided last year to start reusing components and crates from the official Rust compiler where possible. These components range from external crates used for certain nightly options to…
We propose integrating safe manual memory management with garbage collection in the .NET runtime to get the best of both worlds.
Hello. This is the first of a series of blog posts I plan to write, breaking apart the algorithms and implementation of a custom 2D global illumination (or p...
We are very, very pleased to announce the release of Selenium 2.0. If you’ve been waiting for a stable release since 1.0.3, now’s the chance to update. And if you do, what will you find…
The sixth official language on the Heroku polyglot platform is Scala, available in public beta on the Cedar stack starting today. Scala deftly blends...
Build an ultra-low-latency voice agent with NVIDIA open models. Learn how Nemotron Speech ASR achieves sub-25ms transcription, how Nemotron 3 Nano LLM and Magpie TTS work together, and how to optimize architecture for real-time voice AI deployment.
V8 v5.4 comes with performance improvements and reduced memory consumption.
A simple, accessible recommendation for key sizes and recommended algorithms for various cryptographic algorithms.
wrenfold is a framework for converting symbolic mathematical expressions (written in Python) into generated numerical code in other languages (C++, Rust, Python). It aims to bridge the gap between prototyping of functions in expressive symbolic form, and performant production code. wrenfold is particularly relevant to…
Since I’m a good mood today—at a beautiful science camp with my kids, high in the mountains near Big Bear Lake in California—I thought I’d blog about something positive. Las…
The story of a massive Kannada dictionary created by V. Krishna single handedly over four decades, and its accidental discovery and open sourcing at an unlikely place, a stock brokerage.
