Do low-level optimizations matter? Faster quicksort with cmov (2020)
Collectively, we have been thinking about sorting for longer than we have had computers. There is still an active literature 1 , 2 , 3 . We are taught that how the counts of comparisons and swaps vary with problem size is what matters: as problems get bigger, order dominates, and anything else is buried in the noise…

M2dir: Treating mails as files without going crazy
Sometime recently in the past I complained about Maildir. You can go read the post, but the executive summary is that I think Maildir uses an actively user-hostile directory structure and extremely convoluted filenames that do not convey any meaning at all. For good measure, I will also reiterate that Maildir does…

500 Python Interpreters
As we approach the final release date for Python 3.13, I’ve seen an uptick in discussion regarding 3.13’s introduction of an optional GIL. While removing the GIL has been a long time coming for the average user (I’ve dreamt of this for nearly 20 years), there have actually been two concurrent efforts to improve…

How we centralized and structured error handling in Golang
Handling errors in Go is simple and flexible – yet no structure! It’s supposed to be simple, right? Just return an error , wrapped with a message, and move on.
