A function's return type is supposed to indicate the kind of data that it produces. Rust's 'n [...]

Many security bugs are race conditions, where multi-threaded execution has to occur with the righ...

HN comments are terrible. On any topic I’m informed about, the vast majority of comments are pretty clearly wrong. Most of the time, there are zero comments from people who know anything about the topic and the top comment is reasonable sounding but…

Something I must confess is that I absolutely hate writing these blog posts. It’s not quite as bad as having to give a conference talk, but it’s up there on the list of activities that feel like pulling teeth to me. Not that I’m not proud of the result.…

DuckDB v2.0 is coming this fall. In this post, we preview its headline features: DuckDB as a server, triggers, the VARIANT type, asynchronous I/O, a new SQL parser, a new storage format, and much more.

For many years, I sometimes discovered that commands I was sure I had run were no longer present in my Z shell history file (~/.zsh_history). In this article, I will show you how I tracked down the bug.…

Fast, parallel 2D Delaunay triangulation using exact integer predicates - morishuz/delaunay32

Rio's terminal core is now a standalone, dependency-light engine you can embed anywhere: rio-vt as a safe Rust crate and librio as a C ABI.

C++11 introduced std::function as a type-erased callable-object holder. function was badly designed in a few ways: Its rarely used “go fish” API bloats every user; it advertises operator() const even when the controlled object’s operator() is mutating; it…

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

In this series of articles, I aim to demonstrate how OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX work by writing a simplified clone from scratch. Surprisingly, many people struggle with the initial hurdle of learning a 3D graphics API.…

Ridiculously fast decompression at good ratios. misa77 is 1.5-3x faster than LZ4 for decompression on x86 and ARM (with better ratios!). - welcome-to-the-sunny-side/misa77

A tutorial on how to create a minimalistic and customizable 3D wave grid background with Three.js.

BUSY is a lean, statically typed, cross-platform, easily bootstrappable build system for GCC, CLANG and MSVC inspired by Google GN - rochus-keller/BUSY

I spent a whole month researching FreeBSD's kernel's virtual memory system to understand why tools like htop, btop and fastfetch report different information about RAM usage. I ended up submitting patches to all of these projects.
