Ever wondered how ELF and ld.so work? This is a good primer on the topic with a few OpenBSD specifics.

An exploration of how databases work from first principles, going all the way to distributed nodes etc. Good list of topics to explore further.

What's cooking up for the next generation of peer-to-peer applications? Here are two exciting examples of building blocks which are in the works.

Definitely the right move, more extensions are pouring in. People should benefit from them on Android as well.

Interesting deep dive about how network stacks work in kernel or in user land. Also provides some insight on how to improve the kernel stack.

Nice illustration on how pattern matching can simplify code and make it easier to write.

This would indeed be a nice path forward for HTML. It's much too dominated by JavaScript for now, having standardized semantic extensibility would be just better.

Interesting survey results. This kind of confirm what we already suspected regarding longer work day and the amount of meetings.

There will be an appeal but this is an important ruling already.

This is apparently a much needed clarification. Let's get back to basics.

Probably the definitive resource on how floating-point arithmetic works.

Important and interesting study showing how the new generation of models are driving energy consumption way up. As a developer, do the responsible thing and use smaller, more specific models.

Another nice introduction to raymarching. I still find this a very interesting rendering approach. It's really cool what you can do with those Signed Distance Fields functions.

You like SQL? You like murder mysteries? This little game might be right for you.
