The standard fossbro interjection goes: I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

In this article I’ll cover three techniques to compute special types of polynomial products that show up in lattice cryptography and fully homomorphic encryption. Namely, the negacyclic polynomial product, which is the product of two polynomials in the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}[x] / (x^N + 1)$. As a precursor to the negacyclic product, we’ll cover the simpler cyclic product. All of the Python code written for this article is on GitHub.

I find, more often than not, that I understand something much less well when I sit down to write about it than when I’m thinking about it in the shower. In fact, I find that I change my own mind on things a lot when I try write them down. It really is a powerful tool for finding clarity in your own mind. Once you have clarity in your own mind, you’re much more able to explain it to others.

In 2013 I started my Computer Science degree at Utrecht University (The Netherlands). Due to my previous experience with programming, and because I was genuinely interested in the course subjects, I aced my first year and even had time to investigate additional topics I found interesting. When my friend Jouke Waleson told me about the existence of Hacker News, I quickly became a daily visitor, as it seemed to me like an endless source of pr..

Before COVID-19 and ubiquitous work-from-home, we used to have meetings in a room where people would sit around and discuss the matter at hand. The start time had some flexibility because people had to physically move from one location to another, often between floors or buildings. Whiteboards helped focus the conversation. People could interject organically without having to raise a hand like in grade school. Unplanned conversations in t..

I have been observing a trend both in blogs and general internet discourse, but instead of pointing fingers, I decided to sit back, observe and assume that I'm the man who was yelling at the cloud. However, an article , and comments on the orange site convinced me that I'm not the only one with this observation, hence I decided to note it here. We're arguably going through the second big shift in computing history with a renewed intere....

A frequently encountered doubt people have when using jOOQ is to decide when a “complex” query should be written using jOOQ API vs. when it should be implemented using native SQL. The jOOQ manual is full of side by side examples of the same query, e.g. Using jOOQ: Using native SQL: In the native SQL … Continue reading When to Use jOOQ and When to Use Native SQL →

When I try to recall what first triggered my interest in computers, there are many anecdotes that come to my mind. Back when I was 13 years old, a classmate showed me how to create visual programs using Word and its built-in visual editor for VBA. Though I never actually wrote any serious VBA program, the fact that you could give the computer instructions and receive visual feedback was an intriguing discovery.

Scaling past Port Exhaustion: when 100k+ ports were not enough

One of my favorite technical projects involved overcoming a network constraint. The virtual machines (VMs) hosting the core services kept exhausting available ports. Once all ports were used up, new connections would fail, tanking our availability and reliability. Read on to learn how we overcame this issue and opened up opportunities to reduce costs by a third.

While it has been a very challenging and difficult time for the company, it cannot even remotely be compared with the horrendous situation that the people of Ukraine are facing on a daily basis, caused by the war. Once again, we condemn this aggression, and have and will continue to stand by the people of Ukraine, including our colleagues and their families. More here .

Back Story For my entire time as a web developer, front end web layout has been a kludgey messy nightmare. I think about every few years since 1999 or so I spend a few days reading the latest CSS features that are the new hotness and advertised as finally going to solve pervasive problems with layout, centering, alignment, etc. I've just been through so many rounds of this nonsense: rounded corners, sticky headers and footers, gradients, w....

In 2022 a consortium of companies ran an international competition, called the ZPrize , to advance the state of the art in “zero-knowledge” cryptography. We decided to have a go in our free time at submitting solutions to both the Multi-Scalar Multiplication (MSM) and Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) tracks, using the same open source Hardcaml libraries that Jane Street uses for our own FPGA development. We believe by using Hardcaml we w..

As you build a computer system, little things start to show up: maybe that database query is awkward for the feature you are building, or you find your server getting bogged down transferring gigabytes of data in hexadecimal ASCII, or your app translates itself to Japanese on the fly for hundreds of thousands of separate users. These are places where your abstractions are misaligned - your app would be quantitatively better if it had a bet..

Oscar the Grouch, a character from the popular children’s television show “Sesame Street,” can be seen as a modern-day embodiment of the Hellenistic philosophical tradition of Diogenes the Cynic. Like Diogenes, Oscar rejects the trappings of mainstream society and embraces a simpler, more ascetic lifestyle. In Oscar’s case, this means living in a trash can and rejecting the consumerist values of capitalism. In the words of Guy Debord, the....

There’s no real “recommendation algorithm” here. Mastodon 4.x has a “trending” feature, but that’s it. Users that your instance members follow have their content pushed to your instance, and their repeated posts reach your instance too. When content reaches your instance, you can reblog it to help it reach your followers’ instances. Federation is a privilege. If “Instance A” members repeat or reply to “Instance B” members, they increase....

With the incredible capabilities of ChatGPT released last week, it got me wondering what AI would struggle with, at least in the foreseeable future. Ethics? Very likely. Authentic emotion? Probably. How about humour?
