R&D computing at scale

It is thankfully common wisdom nowadays that documentation must be placed as near as possible to the code it documents, and should be fine-grained to a minimal unit of describability (the thing being documented). The practice provides numerous benefits to…

I recently acquired an ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02 module, and, as I tend to do, jumped right into reading about how the system boots and how the (pretty good!) tooling Espressif offers works. We have typically used QEMU in the RISC-V Bytes series, but getting our…

Back in spring 2020, I was wrapping up the distributed systems course I was teaching, and for the last lecture, decided to spend a little time poking at the question of who actually invented vector clocks. Most people who need something to cite for vector…

io_uring is an async interface to the Linux kernel that can potentially benefit networking. It has been a big win for file I/O (input/output), but might offer only modest gains for network I/O, which

In this blog post I’ll show you a couple of interesting examples with lambda expressions. Do you know how to write a recursive lambda? Store them in a container? Or invoke at compile time?
See in the article.
Updated in August 2022: Added C++23 improvements.…

An unfortunate side effect of the rising popularity of Apple’s ARM-based computers is an increase in unportable assembly code which targets the 64-bit ARM ISA. This is because developers are writing these bits of assembly code to speed up their programs when…

Thanks to the C language standard, it's trickier than it seems.
