Place where goldstein dumps his links so she doesn’t have 500 tabs ever again.
Tags are structured like this:
is- tags are about medium. Books, papers, blog posts, interactive explanations etc.
about- tags are about about. What’s this post topic or what’s this project is/for.
to- tags are about reason. Why did I even save this?
for- tags are about connections. Where can I use it?
a really interesting exploration of interpreter design, a lot of repls and thoughts on various coroutines
a fun way to serialize binary data to pronouncable identifiers
Very much not-production-ready (didn’t even compile on my machine), but looks pretty cool (rad, even).
Looks useful if I ever install DAP.
Looks super cool, I’ll have to remember it when I next need to do network diagnostics.
git clone --recursive --remote-submodules https://github.com/asyncmeow/git-infinite-recursion.git
Some thoughts on custom allocator interfaces with nice examples.
The generic dilemma is this: do you want slow programmers, slow compilers and bloated binaries, or slow execution times?
No generics / monomorphization / dynamic dispatch
A nice overview of STM primitives.
About why free functions are important. I find verb/noun framework from this article quite useful.
How to spin before sleeping so that it actually helps and not harms?
Variables are the trickiest part of lambda calculus. And naming is the trickiest part of variables: the most complex code in our lambda evaluator is the part that renames variables to perform capture-avoiding substitutions.
Names are artificial tedious tags whose sole purpose is to aid human comprehension. Can we get rid of them? There ought to be a way to study computation without naming names.
This is the closing-file-handles-on-Windows post.
I'm titling this post Surprisingly Slow because the slowness was either surprising to me or the sub-optimal practices leading to slowness are prevalent enough that I think many programmers would be surprised by their existence.
Abstract: Polymorphic inline caches (PICs) provide a new way to reduce the overhead of polymorphic message sends by extending inline caches to include more than one cached lookup result per call site. For a set of typical object-oriented SELF programs, PICs achieve a median speedup of 11%.
What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not be able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family.
WebKit's FTL JIT now uses a new backend on OS X — the Bare Bones Backend, or B3 for short, replaces LLVM as the low-level optimizer.
