On the 11th of January 1982 twenty-two computer scientists met to discuss an issue with ‘computer mail’ (now known as email). Attendees included the guy who would create Sun Microsystems, the guy who made Zork, the NTP guy, and the guy who convinced the government to pay for Unix. The problem was simple: there were 455 hosts on the ARPANET and the situation was getting out of control. This issue w
Secrets from the Algorithm: Google Search’s Internal Engineering Documentation Has Leaked
Google, if you’re reading this, it’s too late. Ok. Cracks knuckles. Let’s get right to it. Internal documentation for Google Search’s Content Warehouse API has leaked. Google’s internal microservices appear to mirror what Google Cloud Platform offers and the internal version of documentation for the deprecated Document AI Warehouse was accidentally published publicly to a code repository for the c
Don't write clean code, write CRISP code — Bitfield Consulting
I’m sure we’re all in favour of “clean code”, but it’s one of those motherhood-and-apple-pie things that no one can reasonably disagree with. Who wants to write dirty code, unless maybe it’s for a porn site? The problem, of course, is that few of us can agree on what “clean code” means, and how to get there. A rule like “methods should only do one thing”, looks great on a T-shirt, but it’s not so
Linux Hardening Guide | Madaidan's Insecurities

The Development of the C Language* Dennis M. Ritchie Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies Murray Hill, NJ 07974 USA dmr@bell-labs.com ABSTRACT The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s as a system implementation language for the nascent Unix operating system. Derived from the typeless language BCPL, it evolved a type structure; created on a tiny machine as a tool to improve a meager progr
Abstract: In recent years, academic research and investigative reports have brought to light several cases of computational propaganda (i.e. orchestrated attempts to manipulate public opinion or the outcome of elections via social media), as well as proof that filter algorithms amplify right-wing conservative content on Japanese social media. Piecing together the scattered pieces of a puzzle, this
The activities of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Japan date back to the Allied occupation of Japan. Douglas MacArthur's Chief of Intelligence, Charles Willoughby, authorized the creation of a number of Japanese subordinate intelligence-gathering organizations known as kikan.[1] Many of these kikan contained individuals purged because of their classification as war criminals.[2] In additi

Understanding Garbage Collection in JavaScriptCore From Scratch
JavaScript relies on garbage collection (GC) to reclaim memory. In this post, we will dig into JSC’s garbage collection system. Before we start, let me briefly introduce myself. I am Haoran Xu, a PhD student at Stanford University. While I have not yet contributed a lot to JSC, I found JSC a treasure of elegant compiler designs and efficient implementations, and my research is exploring ways to tr

Opinion | A Sports Event Shouldn’t Be a Superspreader. Cancel the Olympics. (Published 2021)
The Tokyo Olympics are in big trouble. Postponed by a year and slated to begin in July, the Olympics have become a political flash point in Japan, where almost 60 percent of the population opposes staging the Games this summer and where less than 2 percent of the population is vaccinated for Covid-19. The International Olympic Committee, local Olympic organizers and Japan’s ruling party maintain t

Typeclass metaprogramming is a powerful technique available to Haskell programmers to automatically generate term-level code from static type information. It has been used to great effect in several popular Haskell libraries (such as the servant ecosystem), and it is the core mechanism used to implement generic programming via GHC generics. Despite this, remarkably little material exists that expl
The Story of the PS2’s Backwards Compatibility From the Engineer Who Built It
As the PlayStation 2 turns 20 in Japan on March 4, followed by Europe and North America later in the year, game outlets of all stripes will undoubtedly be trotting out lists and retrospectives commemorating one of the most culturally significant and successful consoles to ever be produced. Although much of that attention will likely be focused on the many unique and diverse games that helped make

2011 was an important year in the history of psychology, especially social psychology.

Impressively, the contributed chapters of this first volume covered almost every topic of what we now see as core computer science—from computer hardware and operat

昨年、このサイトの記事で、音楽における政治の重要性について書いた。アーティストがオーディエンスの生活と繋がりを持ち、自分たちの音楽と世界への視点を豊かにする方法と、メインストリームな組織以外の場所で、繋がりを築く方法について述べた。しかしその記事では取り上げなかったひとつの大きなイシュー（問題点）がある。政治に内在する対立が芸術に入り込んだ時に何が起こるのか、ということだ。 これこそが、多くの人が日常的な交流のなかで、政治の話を避けようとする主な理由だ。新しい同僚に対して慎重になって政治についての話題を避けたり、高校時代の旧友が、政敵について好意的に語ると胃が締めつけられる気がしたり、何杯かの酒の後に抑制が効かずに家族と衝突してしまったりする。学校の教師をしている両親の息子である自分は、普段、ミュージシャン、ライター、アーティストやその他のクリエイティヴな人びとの輪のなかでほとんどの時間を

A significant share of architectural energy is spent on reducing or avoiding lock-in. That's a rather noble objective: architecture is meant to give us options and lock-in does the opposite. However, lock-in isn't a simple true-or-false matter: avoiding being locked into one aspect often locks you into another. Also, popular notions, such as open source automagically eliminating lock-in, turn out
