I used to hear in the past that the JIT (Just In Time) compiler can compile bytecode on multiple levels. However, I have never thought about what it means in practice. In the middle of October, I was attending a conference where I had the pleasure of listening to a talk about ‘lock-free programming'...

Programming languages have rapidly evolved in recent years. But in software development, the new often meets the old, and the scaffolding that OS gives for running new processes hasn’t changed much since Unix. If you need to parametrize your application at runtime by passing a few ad-hoc variables (...

If you poke around the Emacs community, you’ll quickly find some—all right, loads of—users who want to do everything in Emacs. Not just writing, not just programming, not just publishing their blog. No. They want to read and write their email in Emacs. Read their RSS in Emacs. View their PDFs in Ema...

A little anniversary Did you know that CUDA has been available in Clojure for the last 9 years through ClojureCUDA, and GPU programming through OpenCL for more than 10? I almost forgot about these anniversaries. Ten years ago most people liked it a lot, starred it on Github, patted me on the ba...

Hello, Clojurians! I haven't written here in a long time. Was I tired? Is anybody reading blogs anymore? Who knows. But that was not the main reason.

this really is getting good and I particularly appreciate that it’s all tied to one subscription.  one of the things I learned from Amazon prime is that the more you keep adding value, the lower your churn rate is going to be. makes me quite bullish on openai tbh.

As I grow older I've noticed that a lot of newer things, like movies, music, TV shows, novels, etc., don't appeal that much to me. I am not 100% sure why that is. Maybe I just don't like the current, modern feel to those things. Or maybe it is that a lot of that stuff feels like a re-hash of somethi...

What’s the quickest giveaway that someone’s an amateur developer? When they tell you to break out a function into smaller functions, and the first reason they cite is “it’s over X lines of code.” Yeah, you heard me.

I started reading software blogs before I got my first programming job 20 years ago. At this point, I’ve read thousands of blog posts and essays about software, but only a small handful stuck in my mind and changed the way I think. “The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code” by Joel Spolsky (2000) “Pa...

Go is the most hated programming language. Compared to other languages, it provides 80% of utility with 20% of complexity. The hate comes from people who want 81% of utility, or 85% or 97%. As Rob Pike said, no one denies that 87% provides more utility than 80%. The problem is that additional 7% of ...
