Researchers have developed a groundbreaking hybrid technology known as WiLo, which combines Wi-Fi and LoRa to create a long-distance wireless concept. This innovative approach maximizes the advantages of each protocol without the need for additional hardware, making IoT deployments more efficient and scalable. The team successfully tested WiLo indoors and outdoors, achieving a 96 percent […]
HPy is a new API for extending Python in C, offering advantages such as zero overhead on CPython and faster runtime on alternative implementations like PyPy and GraalPy. Universal binaries built with HPy can run unmodified on various Python versions. Debug mode helps detect common programming mistakes, and the API is designed to be more […]
The author has been absent from blogging due to a tragic event – the death of his wife after a battle with pancreatitis. Coping with grief and lacking motivation, the author decided to retire from Google and focus on life outside of work. Despite no longer finding satisfaction in solving bugs at work, the author […]
In our solar system, Saturn’s rings are the brightest and most extensive, but other planets like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have their own. Surprisingly, four icy minor planets orbiting among or beyond gas giants also host ring systems. A new study suggests that Earth may have had a ring system around 466 million years […]
The process of how a 0x0A byte is inserted into a file named bar in a justfile using Rust and OCaml compilers is dissected. Just, written in Rust, relies on cook_string to evaluate escape sequences and ends up delegating to rustc, which eventually handles the n character escape as a 0x0A byte. The lineage of […]
The Book of Kells, known as one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures, boasts intricate artwork and numerous illustrations throughout its 680 pages. This ancient masterpiece is believed to have been created on the Scottish island of Iona in 806 and later moved to the monastery of Kells in County Meath. While it is primarily a […]
The Black–Scholes formula revolutionized option markets by providing a fair price for European-style options. This led to the rapid expansion of option markets, making them highly liquid and diverse. The formula, rooted in complex financial and mathematical theories, elegantly captures the tension between time decay and convexity in options. It assumes a lognormal distribution for […]
