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?

Slowly booting full Linux on the intel 4004 for fun, art, and absolutely no profit
Enables std debug assertions + presents an interface for building with a sanitizer.
A paper about choosing “nothing-up-my-sleeve” numbers while having stuff up your sleeve.
The Rust language has incrementally grown a set of patterns to support control-flow effects including error handling, iteration, and asynchronous I/O. In The registers of Rust, boats lays out four aspects of this pattern shared by Rust’s three effects. Today these effects are typically used in isolation, or at most combined in bespoke ways, but the Rust project has been working on ways to integrate them more deeply with each other, such as async gen blocks.
The theory of algebraic effects and handlers has explored this design space and offers answers to many of the questions that the Rust project has encountered during this work. This post will relate the patterns employed by Rust to the terminology and semantics of effects, to help build a shared vocabulary and understanding of the implications of combining multiple effects.
gstreamer-plugins-bad includes a NES 6502 emulator, which was vulnerable to RCE.
The Go standard library’s net.IP type is problematic for a number of reasons. We wrote a new one.
This post explores some problems with Go’s “simplicity by design”: introducing a better IP type that’s also interoperable with the language proves to be a non-trivial challenge.
a whirlwind tour through the guts of the system
A paper about message-passing memory allocator: could be useful for actor systems.
Ruby tutorial with very unusual and interesting writing style.
A first (as far as I know) description of ringbuffer based on two mmaps. I hope to make a better one sometime, but for now this’ll the best explanation I have.
In this blog post we explore how to write a type level contains operation for HList inspired type lists without running into overlapping trait implementations
Explanation of provenance, uninitialized memory and stuff like that. Useful as an entry point into realization that we don’t live in PDP-11 world anymore.
Fourier transforms are a tool used in a whole bunch of different things. This is a explanation of what a Fourier transform does, and some different ways it can be useful.
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.
Series of posts about how make C++ exceptions fast.
