You might, for some reason, be building some XAML in code rather than markup. Starting with this XAML: XAML markup Here’s a flawed attempt to create the grid in code. // C# var autoWidth = new ColumnDefinition() { Width = GridLength.Auto }; var grid = new G

Windows Control Flow Guard (CFG) is a defense in depth feature which validates indirect call targets. The idea is that each module that is enabled for CFG provides a bitmap that describes which addresses in the module are intended to be targets of indirect calls. When CFG is enabled in a process,…

Three companies control most of the internet. When they break, millions of systems fail at once. In October 2025, a race condition in AWS’s DNS automation caused a regional endpoint to be emptied. 113 services crashed. Recovery took 15 hours. Two months earlier, a null pointer in Google Cloud caused…

When we think about professionals buying software - from individual developers up through huge enterprises - it’s often not enough for the product to be good and useful. You have to convince your prospective users of your credibility and of your vision of the future: your technical approach, the…

If you’re scouting the southern wetlands of the U.K. or roaming marshy habitats in eastern Asia, you might be lucky and come across a rather odd-looking deer, looking all plush and cute until it flashes its scary-looking set of vampire-like tusks, making you question your own safety. But no need to…

Mobile app development lets you build applications that run on multiple platforms. Flutter is Google's UI toolkit for building applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter apps are written in Dart, a statically typed, object-oriented language. Modern mobile development…

Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’. —Bob Dylan, “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall” JSON is the worst data format, apart from all the others, but here we are. This is the life we chose, and if we’re writing Rust programs to talk to remote APIs such as Weatherstack, as we did in Here comes…

The 3 important facts in Rust: Tree-shaped ownership. In Rust's ownership system, one object can own many children or no chlld, but must be owned by exactly one parent. Ownership relations form a tree. Mutable borrow exclusiveness. If there exists one mutable borrow for an object, then no other…

Lifetime annotations are one of the things that distract the most new rustaceans. From my experience writing and digging into Rust codebases, lifetime (annotations) induce a cognitive load that distracts from getting the actual work done. They not only make your code harder to read but also harder…

Various shields are designed to block specific forces or mechanisms. For example, armor is good at blocking swords and shark cages are good at protecting divers from sharks. You’ve probably wondered, as most people have, how these shields work against forces they are not designed for. xkcd has a…

다람쥐가 도토리를 들고 오물오물 먹는 걸 본 적 있나요? 조그만 손으로 도토리를 꼭 붙잡고 껍질을 벗기는 모습이 참 귀여운데요. 그런데 자세히 보면, 다람쥐 손가락 끝에 사람처럼 납작한 엄지 손톱이 달려 있는 걸 알 수 있어요. 손톱은 사람만 있는 거 아니냐고요? 다람쥐가 속한 설치류에게도 손톱이 있답니다. 그리고 이 작은 손톱이 바로 설치류가 지구에서 가장 번성한 포유류가 될 수 있었던 비결이라고 해요. 사진 1. 다람쥐와 같은 설치류에도 사람처럼 엄지손톱이 있다. ⓒshutterstock 설치류는 어떤 동물? ​ 우리 주변에서…

Earth is bathed in a stream of energetic particles emanating the Sun. This solar wind ebbs and flows, occasionally exploding in a coronal mass ejection, throwing billions of tonnes of plasma into space, which impacts on Earth’s magnetosphere. The result is bright and beautiful aurorae, the luminous…

Previously: Identity Types. Let me first explain why the naive categorical model of dependent types doesn’t work very well for identity types. The problem is that, in such a model, any arrow can be considered a fibration, and therefore interpreted as a dependent type. In our definition of path…

In large code bases, we are often stuck with unpleasant designs that are harming our performance. We might be looking for a non-intrusive method to improve the performance. For example, you may not want to change the function signatures. Let us consider a concrete example. Maybe someone designed the…

Some time ago, I noted that There is a std::chrono::high_resolution_clock, but no low_resolution_clock. The Visual C++ library treats std::chrono::high_resolution_clock as an alias for std::chrono::steady_clock, which uses Query­Performance­Counter() to retrieve the current time, and the multiplies…

Last time, we looked at a way to use the RAII design pattern (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) to ensure that a function eventually got called on all code paths, even if one of the “eventually” involves waiting for a callback. We solved the problem by using an RAII type which performs the…

Performance profiling is essential for game development and real-time applications. While powerful tools like Tracy or VTune can do the job very well, they often come with unnecessary complexity, integration annoyances, or platform-specific limitations. What if you just need a dead simple,…

들어가며 우리는 본 연재 시리즈를 통하여 벡터공간 혹은 대수의 표준기저라는 개념에 대하여 살펴보고 있다. 벡터공간은 더하기와 상수곱이 주어진 집합, 대수는 이에 더하여 원소 간 곱하기가 주어진 집합이다. 벡터공간의 모든 원소를 표현할 수 있게 해주는 가장 작은 집합이 기저인데, 우리는 기저들 중 가장 표준적인 것이 무엇인지에 대해 고찰해 왔고, 표준기저를 찾는 방법론 중 범주화라는 방법과 그 예시를 살펴보았다. 이번 글에서는 지난 연재글들에서 제기된 문제나 논의들을 마무리하며 시리즈를 끝마치고자 한다. 첫 번째 연재글에서 제시한…
