I wanted my program to boot up faster so I tried to multithread it with both executors and the more classic TBB.

The designers of the Zig programming language have been working to find a suitable design for [...]

A bunch of tips and rules I’ve created for myself for developing programs in the C programming language

One of the most iconic C++ features is the language’s ability to deduce types with the auto keyword. In this post, I’ll give a series of code snippits. Your job is to assess what will be deduced for v in each case. Determine for each:

The deduced type
If…

The core value proposition of software is flexibility - but in embedded systems, we often lose that advantage. Codebases become tightly coupled to a specific hardware revision, making even small platform changes expensive and risky. As hardware complexity…

I'm building a benchmarking tool for Zig and needed CPU counters. This is how I wrapped Linux's `perf_event_open` to be type-safe with comptime.

I had a vague idea that closures could have a variety of performance implications; I did not believe that so many of the chosen and potential designs for C a...

Explores potential performance improvements using link time optimization (LTO) by benchmarking various configurations/implementations of a basic kinematic problem.

Notably, how common refactoring can "hide" context from the optimizer resulting in worse performance…
