Hey hey! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I am also known as 'Diz'! I made this site to document my research and contributions throughout the years, and other fun stuff I could come up with. Hope you're having a good day/afternoon/night wherever you are!

Hard SF worldbuilding with the HYG database, Dijkstra's algorithm, and Lisp.
If you imagine a world where the sum of all things you can do with a computer is exactly matched, and locked down for all time with what you can do inside a browser, then the arguments for the web are persuasive. Why write for a specific platform when you can write for all platforms at once and gain the other…

Differentiable programming has become a hot research topic, and not only due to the popularity of machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX. Many fields apart from machine learning are finding differentiable programming to be a useful tool for solving optimization problems. In computer graphics…
3 years ago, I started developing Swords & Ravens , an open-source online multi-player adaptation of a strategy board game I love, A Game of Thrones: The…
Small steps towards running my favorite demo again.
I like to learn at least one new programming language every year - it’s mostly for fun - they are rarely useful for projects that I actually have to ship . This year, I’ve decided to look at Zig. After skimming through the official documentation and finishing the ray tracing in one weekend exercise, I realize that Zig…
Two new language frontends have been added to GCC : Modula-2 and Rust . I think this is great news on both accounts: having a Wirth language in GCC fills my childhood heart with joy (though I do wish GNU Pascal can one day be revived and mainlined, as Pascal was the first non- BASIC language I learned). And Rust…
SQLite: Past, Present, and Future is a newly published paper authored by Kevin P. Gaffney, Martin Prammer and Jignesh M. Patel from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and D. Richard Hipp, …

The Quite OK Image (QOI) format was announced late last year and finalized into a specification a month later. Initially dismissive, a revisit has shifted my opinion to impressed. The format hits a sweet spot in the trade-off space between complexity, speed, and compression ratio. Also considering its alpha channel…

Hating git conflicts? Use git's built-in diff3 option to make sense out of it all!
The terminal is the result of its history, from the telegram to our terminal emulators. What is the difference with a console? The shell?

Have you ever had a unique approach to a problem and been excited to use it, but you're met with skepticism? Today's story: what happens if you take someone who's passionate about LISP and put them in an organization where that's just not how they write software. Today's story is about getting LISP into space. The…

This post is by Phil Price, not Andrew. I’ve had a run of luck ever since I left my staff scientist position at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to become a freelance consultant doing statistical modeling and forecasting, mostly related to electricity consumption and prices: just as I finished a contract, another one…
A fun, endearing, delightful pile of lies.
In my never ending quest to have oksh support every C compiler in existence, I sometimes find C compilers in places you wouldn't expect them. Today, I'd like to demonstrate the C compiler built into the Digital Mars D compiler, or DMD for short. Recent versions of DMD have a complete C11 compiler built in named…
