Allowlisting Config Capabilities by Embedding Rye in Go
We will explore how to embed the Rye language into a Go application and why its capability-based model makes it uniquely suited for configuration, despite being a general-purpose language.
Tom likes making games. He has worked professionally as a game developer, but he also likes to make games in his free time, as a hobby. He makes these hobby games in a “from scratch” kind of way. This means that he just has a main procedure and imports some libraries and builds things as needed.
Recently, Tom has found out about a programming language called Odin. He found that it fixed many things he disliked about C++ and C.
man jenkins_hash (9): general kernel hashing functions
man jenkins_hash (9): The Fn hash32 functions are used to give a consistent and general interface to a decent hashing algorithm within the kernel. These functions can be used to hash ASCII NUL terminated strings, as well as blocks of memory. The Fn hash32_buf function is used
Why AI Coding Assistants Misunderstand Your Architecture
AI coding assistants misunderstand your architecture — not because they’re buggy, but because architectural intent was never visible in the code to begin with.In this video I read through and comment on Ian Bull’s article “Sinks, Not Pipes: Software Architecture in the Age of AI”, adding my own perspective from my work on usable software […]
Sinks, Not Pipes: Software Architecture in the Age of AI
Software architecture principles like low coupling, high cohesion, and minimal side effects matter more than ever when AI agents are the ones navigating your codebase.
Replacing a 3 GB SQLite database with a 10 MB FST (finite state transducer) binary
Note for
numberphiles:
all numbers have been rounded to their first significant
digit, because I’m a fan of Rob Eastaway’s
“zequals” method
of getting to the point when it comes to estimation. It’s much
more valuable to walk away with the heuristic “some dude got
a 300x memory reduction by swapping out a database he hacked
together for a tiny, static, specialized data structure that
does exactly what he needs it to and no more.”
Idempotency Is Easy Until the Second Request Is Different | Dochia CLI Blog
Idempotency is not just an HTTP header or a key lookup. This article covers the failure cases that bite real APIs: different requests with the same key, concurrent retries, partial success, downstream uncertainty, response replay, expiry, and duplicate message handling.
Tech under pressure: how betting apps handle real-time demand at scale - The Tech Block
Opening a contemporary app during a major final, you engage in a moment of controlled chaos, where thousands of bets flood the system every second. Therefore, what feels smooth to you is actually a high-speed balancing act. Traffic spikes rise sharply during key plays, so millions react at once as emotions drive rapid decisions, with
The Internet is almost anonymous and privacy-preserving by design. I mean, unless some administrator actively tries to track you, there is no built-in...
Reading a book about bowling is not the same as actually bowling. If that resonates with you and you want to learn more about large language models, check out the LLM From Scratch project. The hand…
