TLDR: I think that the primary benefit of async/await is that it lets us concisely express complex concurrency; any (potential) performance improvements are just a second-order effect. We should thus judge async primarily based on how it simplifies our code…

We started with a compilation time of 108 seconds for the matmul
benchmarks, which was reduced to only 1 second after all the
optimizations. The most effective optimization was the element-type
generics swap, where we instantiated generic functions with predefined…

Well, at least it’s not Swift.

Interested in Anti-Cheat analysis? I highly recommend checking out Guided Hacking’s Anti-Cheat section. I’ve been reversing Black Ops Cold War for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to share my research regarding the user-mode anti-cheat inside the game.…

Starting with a 192-byte one-liner that implements a Reverse Polish Notation arithmetic compiler, we'll work backward to transform it into readable JavaScript by removing one code golf trick at a time

VMs are much harder to understand these days. Linux provides many building blocks for virtualization, but only a select few kernel engineers know how to stitch them together. So, we compiled our understanding into this blog that describes four reference architectures…

approximate distinct counting algorithm

Reproduce Deepseek R1 „aha moment“ and train an open model using reinforcement learning trying to teach it self-verification and search abilities all on its own to solve the Countdown Game.

Logical harmony, a name coined by Michael Dummett, is a supposed constraint on the rules of inference that can be used in a given logical system.
