a fun implementation of *Kanren with nice Haskell interoperability. showcases some fun Haskell featues.

Very much not-production-ready (didn’t even compile on my machine), but looks pretty cool (rad, even).

Latency, throughput and port usage of x86 instructions.

A bottom-up, animated guide to HTTP load balancing algorithms.

Wayback is a web archiving and playback tool that allows users to capture and preserve web content. It provides an IM-style interface for receiving and presenting archived web content, and a search and playback service for retrieving previously archived pages. Wayback is designed to be used by web archivists, researchers, and anyone who wants to preserve web content and access it in the future.

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

A fascinating tale about network problems.

A distributed network that allows you to add host-independent repo identifier as a git origin. Looks like it worth a try, especially with sr.ht being down and Codeberg half-broken because of a DDoS attack.

The generic dilemma is this: do you want slow programmers, slow compilers and bloated binaries, or slow execution times?

No generics / monomorphization / dynamic dispatch

Another take on io_uring in Rust. Doesn’t bring its own runtime, instead choosing to integrate with tokio.

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.

What if all software suddenly disappeared? What's the minimum you'd need to bootstrap a practical system? I decided to start with a one sector (512-byte) seed and find out how far I can get.

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

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.

tl;dr: /dev/random is obsolete and /dev/urandom is strictly better except in early boot.

Presented in an experimental mnemonic medium that makes it almost effortless to remember what you read

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.
