to- tags are about reason. Why did I even save this?
for- tags are about connections. Where can I use it?
how user agents became a lying mess
A bottom-up, animated guide to HTTP load balancing algorithms.
sadly, doesn’t provide links, but most is googlable
Enables std debug assertions + presents an interface for building with a sanitizer.
The generic dilemma is this: do you want slow programmers, slow compilers and bloated binaries, or slow execution times?
No generics / monomorphization / dynamic dispatch
Looks really cool. I wonder what’s inside.
Microbenchmark for futexes + spinlocks and some useful links at the bottom.
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.
Category Theory Illustrated is a primer in category theory and other mathematical theories that is made to be really accessible to people with no prior exposure to the subject, without being dumbed down, by utilizing visual explanations.
A blog post explaining the “single owner of data, everyone has indices instead of pointers” model. Not actually about Rust per se, just happens to be really useful for Rust.

Push key blocks into their slots to gain control of the qwert. Regain Ctrl (and possible other keys) to get to the get through to the end. There are fourteen levels total. Can you get through them all?
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%.
If you're curious about rainbows, colorimetry, gamma encoding, and experiments run in the late 1920s, then this is the post for you!
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.
A lot about sockets, syscalls and bits
Series of posts about how make C++ exceptions fast.
