At the beginning of the year, I wrote a bunch of articles on the various tricks DOS played to overcome the tight memory limits of x86’s real mode. There was one question that came up and remained unanswered: what were the various “models” that the compilers of the day offered? Take a look at Borland Turbo C++’s code...

(Open)AI needs enormous amounts of energy and compute hardware. Meeting these needs would lead to a huge increase in CO₂ emissions. The only way to avoid catastrophic warming is to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions. In other words, the planned growth of (Open)AI is entirely unsustainable. Others have written about th...

I've been rewriting my nvim config to align with the features I am enjoying in Helix: simple TS-aware movements and uniform LSP-actions. I haven't messed with my nvim config for quite a while… the last time I wrote about a plugin change was five years ago! Changes Basically four objectives: Update and replace plugin...

Ruby on Rails defined the ethos of the web development community for many years. I have observed people trying to replicate "Rails" in other languages with very mixed results. I consider Laravel, ASP.NET and Phoenix successful rails-like frameworks. Python already has Django. Sadly Java, Kotlin, Scala, Node.js, Go a...

What do you do when computation is too expensive? Recently I’ve had a brilliant business idea: Mandelbrot-as-a-Service! Instead of companies calculating their own fractals, I will do it for them, freshly calculated in the cloud, with no work on their part. And by using cloud computing, I will be able to scale to the...

I also like to make things in Rust, mostly for the web, and this is where we run into a problem. See, if I want to make something for the web, I could use Django but I don't want that. I mean,...

I follow many great personal tech blogs but I feel the overall theme is too monochrome at time. It is relatively focused on traditional software/web development, since that’s my circle. I feel there are entire categories I’m missing on and would like to mix things up in my feed. I still follow some security researchers, SREs, and maybe some ux designers among others but...
