Space optimal isn’t necessarily the fastest. Note that PostgreSQL code uses 2-graph instead of a more compact 3-graph version. The latter is noticeably more compact: 1.25 vs 2.1 fa…

It’s down to a quality of implementation. I can give you some hints on improving it if you’re interested. A tiny JIT code generator inside cdb would definitely bring performance on…

Not sure that scares you, code generation or a choice of scripting language? If you want to avoid a code generation, you can generate a .cdb (constant database) file with the cdbw(…

This is going to be interesting. Rust on top of rumprun bare-metal unikernel https://twitter.com/gandro23/status/645734117699624960

> Many other free software projects, including FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenWrt, are moving in the same direction. I might be wrong (I'm away from my NetBSD boxes) but build.sh script …

I spent about an hour looking at the tool. They say that only very few instructions aren't supported (and thus ignored by the tool) but a very popular imul instruction can be ignor…

This one? #include I used some bits from it to help me in building my own log approximation but I didn't have time to dig into it. I ended up doing Chebyshev approximation over [1,…

I once spotted a plane going circles over North London. https://mobile.twitter.com/nasonov/status/484027620993273857...

Indeed, it has been discussed many times. But I don't remember any discussion on attribution rights. If GS replaced GPL text with their own header they presumably deleted names of …

It depends on how much effort you put in making sure your parser is robust. I ran AFL tests for several days trying to find bugs in Lua parser but AFL kept discovering a way to loa…

Why [0, 1] interval is so popular in random number generators? It's one of the worst intervals possible imo because it includes subnormal numbers. The interval [1, 2] is much nicer…

I use lengthof for lengths of string literals.

Hi Luke, Take a look at bpfjit in NetBSD. It uses bsd licensed sljit library to generate code for multiple platforms. The library has some slight overhead over hand-written assembl…
