REBOL Oneliners
One-liners are like Haiku poetry. Not always practical, not always readable, they are fun to write. As with any art, some are better than others, but from time-to-time, a true gem pops up.

The Making of Stunt Island
It is human nature to pick a hero, place it on a pedestal, and forget everybody else. We have limited memory after all so remembering only a few things may not be a choice but a necessity. If you were to ask players for the name of a game made in the 90s, unmistakably Mario, Sonic, and DOOM would come up over and over…

Barebones WebGL in 75 lines of code
Modern OpenGL, and by extension WebGL, is very different from the legacy OpenGL I learned in the past. I understand how rasterization works, so I’m comfortable with the concepts. However, every tutorial I’ve read introduced abstractions and helper functions that make it harder for me to understand which parts are…

Audio from Scratch with Go: Stereo Panning
In the previous post we have written code to change the amplitude of wave files. Now we’ll take a look at how we can turn a mono wave file into a stereo wave file with optional panning, and explore how this is represented internally by the WAVE file format. Channels The raw audio data inside a WAVE file consists of…

Why the Sorbet type checker is fast
This is the second in an indefinite series of posts about things that I think went well in the Sorbet project. The previous one covered our testing approach. Sorbet is fast. Numerous of our early users commented specifically on how fast it was, and how much they appreciated this speed. Our informal benchmarks on…

An interview code submission that wasn’t even submitted changed our process
In a previous role, I was an engineering manager for a well-known company for a particular tech stack. One way we sorted through all the applications was requiring coding tests for potential candidates. One truly stood out, and it taught me to think about what I am really looking for in these sorts of submissions.
