Westerners fear their chronic trade deficits with China: How long will they last? What happens when the West owes China so much they can’t repay the debt? How should we understand the current trade war between the US and China? What we don’t realize is that this isn’t the first time this has…
Up to this point I have not followed through on my promise to offend everyone in general, and in particular, functional-programming-in-imperative-languages advocates. Everything’s been pretty positive about functional programming. This is where the tide is going to start to turn, but I’m going to…
One of the distinguishing features of functional programming is an emphasis on pure functions. I will start with an initial sloppy definition of purity to get us started, and will refine it into a range of definitions later. If you don’t like this first one, bear with me. For now we’ll go with, a…
As part of my new job, I'm learning a lot more about the mysteries of the Domain Name System than any mortal should know I thought possible. The humble unix dig command allows you to query all sort of DNS information. For example, to see name server records for the BBC website, you can run: dig…

A steep path in hilly Hampstead, unsurprisingly with a lot of steps but not a lot of Holly Bush, unless you count the pub of the same name nearby. This part of Hampstead is littered with Holly Bush references, but that seems to be a later addition. George Potter writes in Hampstead Wells, published…
A data analysis of animal gender in children’s books When I spend time with kids, I become hyperconscious of my word choices. “Look at Mr. Frog in the pond. Doesn’t he look grumpy?” Why did I say Mr. Frog? Why did I say he? Where do these gendered presumptions even come from, and how pervasive are…

33박 34일 유럽(Europe) 횡단 여행 20일째는 슬로베니아 류블랴나(Slovenia, Ljubljana)다. 원래 크로아티아(Croatia)에서 오스트리아(Austria)로 곧장 가려 했는데 버스(Bus)가 어차피 슬로베니아를 야밤에 통과해야 해서 차라리 끊고 하룻밤을 편하게 보내는 것이 좋을 것 같았다. 결과적으로 새벽에 도착할 오스트리아를 슬로베니아에서 반나절을 보낸 후 저녁에 도착했다. 새벽 5시 44분에 일어나서 일기를 쓰다가 7시 45분에 아침을 먹었다. 그리고 시차 때문에 은영이가 8시 10분부터 수업을 시작했다.…

전시 흥행의 보증 수표, 인상주의. 지난봄 오르세 미술관에서 열린 '1874년 인상주의 전시회' 1. 미술을 잘 모르는 사람도 인상주의나 모네 Oscar-Claude Monet는 한 번쯤 들어봤을 겁니다. 물론 모네와 마네 Édouard Manet를 늘 헷갈려하면서요. (프랑스 사람들도 헷갈리긴 마찬가집니다. 한 번은 살롱전 모네 그림에 감탄한 사람이 마네에게 칭찬을 건네는 일도 있었죠.) 인상주의는 미술 역사상 가장 성공한 예술 운동이자 동시에, 현대 미술의 문을 연 획기적 시도였습니다. 그렇다면 인상주의를 탄생시킨 동력은…
Your friend's tale is actually pretty much true, albeit requiring more nuance. What do you mean by 'early humans'? If we're talking hominins in general, palaeontological and isotopic evidence suggests early humans were indeed eating meat, but primarily scavenged as evidenced from sites like Olduvai…

The broadest use is especially common outside the U.S. // It took the children some time to adjust to being…
C and C++ compilers like GCC first take your code and produce assembly, typically a pure ASCII output (so just basic English characters). This assembly code is a low-level representation of the program, using mnemonic instructions specific to the target processor architecture. The compiler then…
C++ token pasting metaprogramming provides intermediate developers with a low-friction way to generate near-identical classes without wrestling with heavyweight template tricks. By combining the pre‑processor’s ## operator with non‑type template parameters (NTTPs), you can programmatically splice…

update: featured on Hacker News, thanks for reading! I've been working with TPUs a lot recently and it's fun to see how they had such different design philosophies compared to GPUs. The main strongpoint for TPUs is in their scalability. This is achieved through a co-design of both the hardware side…
In this post, we will explore how Unix pipes are implemented in Linux by iteratively optimizing a test program that writes and reads data through a pipe.1 We will begin with a simple program with a throughput of around 3.5GiB/s, and improve its performance twentyfold. The improvements will be…

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the same is true of desktop operating systems. The modern versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux we know and (sometimes) love today represent decades of iteration and overhauls, but much of that legacy is invisible.
