An IRL spatial computer making use of printed codes to do stuff.

Could it be?.. A sensible looking Neovim colorscheme?..

Looks interesting, supports cancellation and other useful stuff.

one of my favourite RFCs probably

git clone --recursive --remote-submodules https://github.com/asyncmeow/git-infinite-recursion.git

A fascinating tale about network problems.

About why free functions are important. I find verb/noun framework from this article quite useful.

This is an opinionated essay about good and bad practices in data visualization. Examples and explanations are below.

Because spin locks are so simple and fast, it seems to be a good idea to use them for short-lived critical sections. For example, if you only need to increment a couple of integers, should you really bother with complicated syscalls? In the worst case, the other thread will spin just for a couple of iterations…
Unfortunately, this logic is flawed! A thread can be preempted at any time, including during a short critical section. If it is preempted, that means that all other threads will need to spin until the original thread gets its share of CPU again. And, because a spinning thread looks like a good, busy thread to the OS, the other threads will spin until they exhaust their quants, preventing the unlucky thread from getting back on the processor!

A paper about message-passing memory allocator: could be useful for actor systems.

Up for a challenge and love programming? Well it seems that Bots Are Stupid might be a good fit for you. An ultra-precise platformer where you don't directly control things — what could possibly go wrong?

Paper about how IT in healthcare in general and IT security in particular is done by people who don’t actually use it, listing different problems and workarounds that end up being used in the field.

Sacrificing convenience for security leads you to having neither security nor convenience.

The paper’s claim:

False.

Compilers do optimize atomics, memory accesses around atomics, and utilize architecture-specific knowledge. This paper illustrates a few such optimizations, and discusses their implications.

Interestingly, none of the optimizations proposed in the paper actually work on GCC or Clang.

Colmena is a simple, stateless NixOS deployment tool modeled after NixOps and morph, written in Rust. It's a thin wrapper over Nix commands like nix-instantiate and nix-copy-closure, and supports parallel deployment.

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.

TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!

Trustfall is a query engine for querying any kind of data source, from APIs and databases to any kind of files on disk.
