How modern browsers work
Note: For those eager to dive deep into how browsers work, an excellent resource is Browser Engineering by Pavel Panchekha and Chris Harrelson (available at browser.engineering). Please do check it out. This article is an overview of how browsers work. Web developers often treat the browser as a black box that magically transforms HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into interactive web applications. In tru
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. Table of contents What the pro
You’ve reached computer programming nirvana. Your journey has led you down many paths, including believing that God wrote the universe in LISP, but now the truth is clear in your mind: every problem can be solved by writing one more compiler. It’s true. Even our soon-to-be artificially intelligent overlords are nothing but compilers, just as the legends foretold. That smart contract you’ve been wr

Introduction to Go 1.19 The latest Go release, version 1.19, arrives five months after Go 1.18. Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before. Changes to the language There is only one small change to the language, a
Shai Hulud Strikes Again (v2)Another wave of Shai-Hulud campaign has hit npm with more than 500 packages and 700+ versions affected. Update: November 26, 2025 PostHog has published a detailed post mortem describing how one of its GitHub Actions workflows was abused as an initial access vector for Shai Hulud v2. An attacker briefly opened a pull request that modified a script executed via pull_requ
Summary Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. This is a preview API. Goals Enable server applications written in the simple thread-per-request style to scale with near-optimal hardware utilization. Enable existing code that uses the j
Reading the excellent article by JeanHeyd Meneide on how broken string encoding in C/C++ is made me realise that Unicode is a topic that is often overlooked by a large number of developers. In my experience, there’s a lot of confusion and wrong expectations on what Unicode is, and what best practices to follow when dealing with strings that may contain characters outside of the ASCII range. This a

A Tour of WebAuthn
This book was distributed at the FIDO Authenticate conference in 2024. Its intended format was as a PDF, which you can find here. The following is the contents of the PDF converted to HTML. 1: Introduction Passwords are rubbish. If you’re reading this book then hopefully you’re already on board with this idea, but let’s recap anyway. The typical practice with passwords is to remember a few differe
Large Text Compression Benchmark Matt Mahoney Last update: Mar. 25, 2026. history This competition ranks lossless data compression programs by the compressed size (including the size of the decompression program) of the first 109 bytes of the XML text dump of the English version of Wikipedia on Mar. 3, 2006. About the test data. The goal of this benchmark is not to find the best overall compress
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

Below is part 1 of an extended scenario describing how the future might go if current trends in AI continue. The scenario is deliberately extremely specific: it’s definite rather than indefinite, and makes concrete guesses instead of settling for banal generalities or abstract descriptions of trends.

A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury | The Haskell Programming Language's blog
The editors of the Haskell Blog are happy to announce a new series of articles called "Haskellers from the trenches", where we invite experienced engineers to talk about their subjects of expertise, best practices, and production tales. Engineering rigour and artistic creativity are a fantastic combination, and this series aims to be the synthesis of these two aspects within the Haskell world. I f

Clojure's deadly sin
This article is about laziness in Clojure. It is intended to be a comprehensive and objective (however possible) critique of lazy sequences as a feature. In no way do I want this to be a judgment of the decision to make Clojure lazy. Clojure the language is by no means formulaic; creating it involved making a plethora of impactful choices. We can judge by Clojure's longevity that the total package
