Andrew Kelly explores the concept of continuous maintenance in software and argues that it is a result of a corporate conspiracy to make unnecessary changes for profit. He references Lehman’s Laws of Software Evolution, stating that software must adapt to a changing world, making it a good thing despite the increasing complexity. Kelly provides examples […]
Bun currently has over 2,600 open GitHub issues, with some being difficult to reproduce and debug. In the latest version, a new compact crash report format was introduced for Zig and C++, reducing the report to a ~150 byte URL without any personal data. Unlike using OS crash reporters, this method avoids adding large amounts […]
The upcoming Clang 19 release will eliminate the -mrelax-all default at -O0 for x86, reducing the text section size. Assembly languages have span-dependent instructions like JMP/JCC which can vary in size. Assemblers face the “branch displacement problem” when deciding between short and long forms for instructions. Popular assemblers tend to start small and grow, optimizing […]
The risk of contracting Lyme disease from tick bites is on the rise during warmer months due to factors like climate change. Nancy Shadick, a rheumatologist, mentions the increase in Lyme disease cases spreading beyond the Northeast and upper Midwest. She also highlights key risk factors like wooded areas, golf courses, and the presence of […]
The author of this post shares their extensive experience using Rust for game development, emphasizing that their opinion is based on real-world experience, not just tutorials or game jams. They outline the challenges they faced in working with Rust, particularly with the borrow checker forcing refactorings at inconvenient times. They argue that Rust’s focus on […]
A University of Melbourne researcher, Dr. Tyrone Lavery, has discovered a rare example of parallel evolution in bats living in the Solomon Islands. Two groups of leaf-nosed bats with vastly different body sizes, initially thought to be separate species, were found to have very similar DNA. The larger bats, named H. dinops, evolved from the […]
