In this article, the author explores the implementation details behind types, operators, and dynamic dispatch in CPython. They explain how the Python runtime executes operations such as “a + b” by following a bottom-up approach. They delve into the implementation of various data types, such as floats, and show how they use function pointer tables […]

The L4S architecture enables internet applications to achieve low queuing latency, low congestion loss, and scalable throughput control. It proposes that the root cause of queuing delay is in the capacity-seeking congestion controllers of senders, rather than the queue itself. By adopting new congestion control algorithms that can seek capacity with minimal queuing, applications can […]
The Eleanor crosses were a series of twelve stone monuments with crosses on top that were built by King Edward I in memory of his wife, Eleanor of Castile. The crosses marked the resting places along the route taken when Eleanor’s body was transported to Westminster Abbey. Only three of the crosses survive intact, while […]

In this web content, the author discusses the addition of native AOT in .NET 7, which allows for the compilation of C# into native code that doesn’t require a virtual machine to run. This enables the building of small programs where every aspect of execution can be overseen. The author has been experimenting with the […]
This web content presents a Python function that computes the Fibonacci sequence without using loops, recursion, or floating point arithmetic. The function f=lambda n:(b:=2<<n)**n*b//(b*b-b-1)%b is provided as an example and indeed generates the correct Fibonacci sequence. The content then delves into the concept of generating functions and how they can be used to represent the […]
Researchers have developed a potential sustainable material known as transparent wood that could be used in a variety of applications, including smartphone screens and insulated windows. Transparent wood is created by removing lignin, the glue that holds wood cells together, and replacing it with a substance like epoxy resin that renders the wood transparent. Tests […]

Marmot is a distributed SQLite replicator that aims to make SQLite even more ubiquitous for server-side applications by building a replication layer on top. It allows you to build a robust replication between your nodes and scale out your read-heavy website based on SQLite by adding more replicated nodes. Marmot is born to act as […]
Four mathematicians have made a significant breakthrough in graph theory by finding an improved upper limit for the Ramsey number, a fundamental property of graphs. The Ramsey number quantifies how big a graph must be before specific patterns are guaranteed to emerge. This number has been notoriously difficult to calculate, with only the simplest instances […]
