Keyword arguments in Python aren't free. Switching from PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords to METH_FASTCALL and manual parsing yields a 35% speedup in function calls.

This is part 1 from series “Tiny Great Languages”. Final code is on Github. Part 1: Assembly. Part 2: BASIC. Part 3: Forth/MOUSE. Part 4: Lisp. Part 5: APL/K. Part 6: PL/0. Decades ago, I wrote my first interpreter – a Turtle Graphics IDE designed to help kids at my school learn programming. I built it in Pascal, and to this day, I still wonder how I managed to make it work without any formal knowledge of writing interpreters.

One of my two ~10 year old 23" 1080p main displays died recently. So I finally upgraded to two used 27" 1440p displays. These are now the first displays on my desktop that allow adjustments of the backlight from software. So I tried to find out how to go about that. Turns out on laptops both the display backlight intensity and the ambient light sensors are controlled via ACPI, with proper kernel support already available (see eg. the Arc....

So you may have read about our project LARS . As mentioned I didn't have any hardware in the end to finish firmware development. So I slightly updated the circuitry, layed out a new board, had it manufactured in China and assembled at home. This is LARS v2, the second iteration of the same idea. It's basically the same device, just with five additional switches. This allows for some more freedom in the user interface desi....

With the growth of self-service SaaS applications and open-source tools, we’ve all become used to introducing new vendors & dependencies into our stack without talking to anyone. As anyone who has been on the receiving end of sales discovery calls will attest, there are advantages to this. It’s faster to get started and try out […]

In my recent overview of homomorphic encryption, I underemphasized the importance of data layout when working with arithmetic (SIMD-style) homomorphic encryption schemes. In the FHE world, the name given to data layout strategies is called “packing,” because it revolves around putting multiple plaintext data into RLWE ciphertexts in carefully-chosen ways that mesh well with the operations you’d like to perform. By “mesh well” I mean it redu..

A couple of months ago, I introduced Ready Player Mode , an Emacs major mode used to peek at media files from my beloved text editor. The goal was simple. Treat opening media files like any other file, that is, open and go. The initial implementation served me well while reviewing lots of tiny audio files I used to practice learning a new language. At this point, I started thinking, could I use ready-player for regular music consumption?....

This is post of appreciation of my Garmin Instinct Solar watch, which has travelled the world with me and been an indispensable tool in many adventures . It has GPS recording, altimeter, thermometer and sunset time, but thanks to the monochrome display, the battery lasts for month (+recharging from the sun), not like your silly "smart" watch :p I also like to use different straps all the time, so that when I look at w..

Note, I’ll use Ruby on Rails 💎 as my example for this post but this can be done in nearly all modern language as SQIDs support most of them . They’re also interoperable, so you can generate in Ruby and decode in another C# service. Why does GraphQL need Global IDs? In GraphQL has the concept of Global Object Identification . Each item in the API has a unique Global ID. If you’re using a fairly normal web development framework, y..

Are you interested in practicing your Python skills while learning how to solve astrophysics and astronomy problems? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

It’s been over 4 years since my first post on this blog. During those 4 years I’ve written over 90 posts, received over 1 million clicks, a dozen legitimate reader e-mails and thousands of spam e-mails. And I love it! I’ve found that writing can be very fulfilling and I encourage you to at least give it a try. This post covers the reasons why I write, how I write and some tips on how you can get started writing one yourself. ....


Go's new Iterators were released on August 13th with Go 1.23 . They're pretty useful. They've had just a minute to marinate. In some parts of the community they've been an unpopular addition, however I don't particularly mind them. The old alternatives seem a little more "Go" to me, but the new iterators are fine. One thing however I am mildly disappointed about is that there isn't just a generic iterable type similar to the gener....

A work colleague (Dazza!) messaged me this morning about a new code counter with some pretty serious performance claims. Not only was it claiming to be accurate it was claiming to have a 38x speed improvement over tools such as tokei! Code counters are something I am interested in so I did some digging to find the repository https://github.com/mainak55512/stto Interesting it is written in Go. My first though about the times was tha..

Introduction: In Episode 6 of the Intro to Generative A.I. series, Daniel shifts the focus from basic search techniques to more dynamic, on-the-fly AI applications. He demonstrates how to enhance AI-driven interactions by integrating real-time data retrieval and multi-turn conversations, pushing beyond static data sources to create more responsive and context-aware systems. Implementing real-time parsing and AI search of live websites. E..

Note: There's a Github issue specific to this concern here . While debugging some issues in a client's Next.js project, I had to look closer at how use server works under the hood ( here's a decent overview ). I knew there must be http endpoints created for the functions—perhaps with some indirection—but I wasn't sure how it worked exactly. Well, it turns out to be simple... And very direct. This is both good and a little concernin....

All the struggling organizations I have worked in shared one common characteristic. They had process deficiencies: some did too little, while some did too much. The best-performing orgs? They did just right.

Recently I had to create a Helm-Chart (still not a fan of it, at all!) where the image was different depending on if the helm-chart was used for local development or used in production. I had to resort to using an if-else-condition that I put into the _helpers.tpl-file so it can be accessed by any deployment-template in the chart. {{- /* Set registry to local docker-registy if deploying locally, else use prodution-registry. If you use :=....


At home, we haven’t done anything about it yet: we’re still 100% grid-dependant and old-fashioned, partly because it would be problematic for us as we live in an apartment building and partly because, frankly, it still seems expensive, especially with three kids studying away from home. Also, I want to avoid getting entangled in another project; my mental bandwidth is limited (and I suspect it will only worsen over time.)

Let's discuss the importance of PHP security and the business impact of some notable PHP interpreter vulnerabilities that are crucial for developers to get right.
