First, I want to tell you how exactly I got to this point and why I started researching different options for handling asynchronous I/O on Linux… Last year, my students and I built a reverse proxy server called TinyGate. It was super simple, worker-based, and it basically worked well. Of course, I didn’t expect it to be very fast, but it was an educational project, and since we’d made a real, kind of production-ready tool, I was really proud of it. But my students weren’t as happy as I was - ... Read more ›

In the previous post we walked through WasmForge, our Go-to-WebAssembly loader that takes existing signatured Go tools and ships them as opsec-safe binaries. This approach doesn’t just apply to Go, however, as there are many languages that can compile to WebAssembly. Another language of interest to us, especially regarding legacy tools which have been over-signatured, […] The post appeared first on <a href=" Read more ›

Hi everyone, I am new to Zig and would really some discussion surrounding this issue I am running into to help me learn – thank you! My program: const std = @import(“std”); const print = std.debug.print; pub fn main() void { var count: u32 = 1; count += 1; const a1: [count]u8 = @splat(‘A’); print(“{s}\n”, .{a1}); } Produces this error: error: unable to resolve comptime value const a1: [count]u8 = @splat(‘A’); note: types must be comptime-known I wasn’t expecting this because I specified u32 f...

#739 – JUNE 16, 2026 Steering Council Announcement Regarding the JIT The Python Steering Council has announced that the work on the JIT needs to be paused until a new PEP gets written. There are many unresolved questions about the approach and integration with other tools and the work on the JIT has reached a stage where these questions need to be answered. Additional discussion PYTHON.ORG Python in a Sandbox With MicroPython and WASM Simon’s been in search of the perfect code sandbox. This a... Read more ›
Unstructured text provides decision-makers with a rich data source in many domains, ranging from product reviews in retail to nursing notes in healthcare. To leverage this information, words are typically translated into word embeddings -- vectors that encode the semantic relationships between words -- through unsupervised learning algorithms such as matrix factorization. However, learning word embeddings from new domains with limited traini... Read more ›

String sorting is a fundamental operation in various data-intensive applications, ranging from bioinformatics to database indexing. However, parallelizing string sorting remains challenging due to irregular memory access patterns, which often lead to inefficient cache utilization. This paper introduces the Parallel N-Deque Partition Dual-Deque Merge string sorting algorithm, which is evaluated against several state-of-the-art parallel sorting techniques. It utilizes a parallel block-based par... Read more ›
