The end of classical computer science is coming, and most of us are dinosaurs waiting for the meteor to hit. I came of age in the 1980s, programming personal computers such as the Commodore VIC-20 and Apple ][e at home. Going on to study computer science (CS) in college and ultimately getting a Ph.D. at Berkeley, the bulk of my professional training was rooted in what I will call “classical” CS: p

I remember the first time I used the v1.0 of Visual Basic. Back then, it was a program for DOS. Before it, writing programs was extremely complex and I’d never managed to make much progress beyond the most basic toy applications. But with VB, I drew a button on the screen, typed in a single line of code that I wanted to run when that button was clicked, and I had a complete application I could now
There are millions of GitHub repos and filtering them is an insane amount of work. It takes a huge time, effort, and a lot more. We have done this for you. In this article, we’ll share a curated list of 100+ widely-known, recommended, and most popular repositories and open source GitHub projects for Machine Learning and Deep Learning. So without further ado, Let’s see all the hubs created by exper
Taming Go’s Memory Usage, or How We Avoided Rewriting Our Client in Rust — Akita Software
Taming Go’s Memory Usage, or How We Avoided Rewriting Our Client in Rust A couple months ago, we faced a question many young startups face. Should we rewrite our system in Rust? At the time of the decision, we were a Go and Python shop. The tool we’re building passively watches API traffic to provide “one-click,” API-centric visibility, by analyzing the API traffic. Our users run an agent that sen

Over the course of my Spring 2020 semester at Harvey Mudd College, I developed a self-hosting compiler entirely from scratch. This article walks through many interesting parts of the project. It’s laid out so you can just read from beginning to end, but if you’re more interested in a particular topic, feel free to jump there. Or, take a look at the project on GitHub.

It is December. That means annoying Christmas things are everywhere, including but not limited to the annual programming semi-competition known as Advent of Code. The problem with Advent of Code is that it is a waste of time. Most of the puzzles are in the realm of either string processing (somewhat applicable to programming), logic puzzles (not really applicable to most programming), or stupid go
A few times a week, someone asks on the #gui-and-ui channel on the Rust Discord, “what is the best UI toolkit for my application?” Unfortunately there is still no clear answer to this question. Generally the top contenders are egui, Iced, and Druid, with Slint looking promising as well, but web-based approaches such as Tauri are also gaining some momentum, and of course there’s always the temptati
The Andrej Karpathy episode. Andrej explains why reinforcement learning is terrible (but everything else is much worse), why model collapse prevents LLMs from learning the way humans do, why AGI will just blend into the previous ~2.5 centuries of 2% GDP growth, why self driving took so long to crack, and what he sees as the future of education.

I’m a fairly frequent Hacker News lurker, especially when I have some other important task that I’m avoiding. I normally head to the Active page (lots of comments, good for procrastination) and pick a nice long discussion thread to browse. So over time I’ve ended up with a good sense of what topics come up a lot. “The Bay Area is too expensive.” “There are too many JavaScript frameworks.” “Bootcam

Welcome to the “Awesome ChatGPT Prompts” repository! While this collection was originally created for ChatGPT, these prompts work great with other AI models like Claude, Gemini, Hugging Face Chat, Llama, Mistral, and more. ChatGPT is a web interface created by OpenAI that provides access to their GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) language models. The underlying models, like GPT-4o and GPT-o
This past May, I started a new job working in Rust. I was somewhat skeptical of Rust for a while, but it turns out, it really is all it’s cracked up to be. As a long-time C++ programmer, and C++ instructor, I am convinced that Rust is better than C++ in all of C++’s application space, that for any new programming project where C++ would make sense as the programming language, Rust would make more
When you work on your computer, there are so many things you take for granted: operating systems, programming languages, they all have to come from somewhere. In the late 1960s and 1970s, that somewhere was Bell Labs, and the operating system they were building was UNIX. They were building more than just an operating system though. They were building a way to work with computers that had never exi
I recently spoke to a developer who tried blogging but gave up because nobody was reading his posts. I checked out his blog, and it was immediately obvious why he didn’t have any readers. The developer had interesting insights, but he made so many mistakes in presenting his ideas that he was driving everyone away. The tragedy was that these errors were easy to fix. Once you learn to recognize them

Directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly: lambdas, recursion, iteration! — Spritely Institute
Directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly: lambdas, recursion, iteration!Christine Lemmer-Webber — May 30, 2023 It's been just over three months since we announced the Guile on WebAssembly project (codenamed Hoot). Since then we've brought on two fantastic hackers to develop the project and progress has been quick. We now are at the point where we have things to show: we can now compile various Sch
Rust in Perspective
We are discussing and working toward adding the language Rust as a second implementation language in the Linux kernel. A year ago Jake Edge made an excellent summary of the discussions so far on Rust for the Linux kernel and we (or rather Miguel and Wedson) have made further progress since then. For the record I think this is overall a good idea and worth a try. I wanted to add some background tha
Following up from the last post, there is a lot more we need to cover. This was intended to be the post where we talk exclusively about benchmarks and numbers. But, I have unfortunately been perfectly taunted and status-locked, like a monster whose “aggro” was pulled by a tank. The reason, of course, is due to a few folks taking issue with my outright dismissal of the C and C++ APIs (and not showi
This post is based on my RustNationUK ‘24 talk with the same title. The talk video is on youtube, the slides are served from here. Also, here’s the lyrics of the song I introduced the talk with (sung to the tune of Bob Dylan’s “The times, they are a-changin’”): Come gather Rustaceans wherever you roam and admit that our numbers have steadily grown. The community’s awesomeness ain’t set in stone, s
Rust's iterators optimize nicely—and contain a footgun | nicole@web
I saw a claim recently that in functional programming using "map/filter iterates over the list twice, while the foreach loop iterates only once." The author continued that "Haskell can fuse maps together as an optimization but I don't think you safely fuse arbitrary map/filters? I dunno." There are really two claims here: in functional programming, map/filter will do two iterations there is an opt
The sad state of property-based testing libraries Posted on Jul 2, 2024 Property-based testing is a rare example of academic research that has made it to the mainstream in less than 30 years. Under the slogan “don’t write tests, generate them” property-based testing has gained support from a diverse group of programming language communities. In fact, the Wikipedia page of the original property-bas
Holiday Book Recommendations for Software Engineers, Engineering Managers and Product Managers
Books perfect as reading or gifts during the end-of-year break for those working in tech. More than 100 book recommendations. I’ve always found books are an underrated way to learn something new. Great books contain years of hard-earned experiences compressed into what you can read in hours. However, you do need to give hours-long attention to them. This allows books to convey ideas that shorter-f
The 'eu' in eucatastrophe – Why SciPy builds for Python 3.12 on Windows are a minor miracle
This matrix would be a lot larger if it included historical OSes and less common architectures, where support with the respective compiler was often in a 1:1 relationship (i.e. that combination would cover a single cell in the matrix). The matrix also does not cover which programming languages a given compiler is able to process, but for simplicity, you can picture C/C++ here. Of course, GCC remai

Scheduling Internals
A sneak peek to what's coming! I remember when I first learned that you can write a server handling millions of clients running on just a single thread, my mind was simply blown away 🤯 I used Node.js while knowing it is single threaded, I used async / await in Python, and I used threads, but never asked myself "How is any of this possible?". This post is written to spread the genius of concurrenc
Language Pragmatics Engineering
Summary: The code that gets written is the code that’s easier to write. Anything not forbidden by the language semantics will be done as a “temporary fix”. Codebases decay along the gradient of expedient hacks. Programming languages have syntax, semantics, and pragmatics: how the language is used in practice. The latter is harder to design for. Language pragmatics is tooling, best practices, and t

AI Is Redefining the Concept of a Programming Language's Popularity
Since 2013, we’ve been metaphorically peering over the shoulders of programmers to create our annual interactive rankings of the most popular programming languages. But fundamental shifts in how people are coding may not just make it harder to measure popularity, but could even make the concept itself irrelevant. And then things might get really weird. To see why, let’s start with this year’s rank
