Data Access Patterns That Makes Your CPU Really Angry
Given an array of data, what is the slowest way to sum up the integers? Is it adding the numbers from left to right, adding them randomly, or doing something else? In this post, we are going to build ...

The tar flags are easier to remember if you use the long versions Need to untar? $ tar --extract --file … # "extract the file" Need to tar? $ tar --create --file … # "create the file" Also, the -z flag is not necessary. tar infers the correct behavior based on the file extension

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️⚧️λ
In this Pride Month, let us remember that #FunctionalProgramming has the privilege and honour to share our beloved λ with the Lesbian community. Let's go Lesbians!

More Vintage Computing museums should rent out cloud access to their rare hardware. SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) does it, and it’s freaking awesome. I’m literally logged into a Sun SPARCstation…anyone can do this for free, right now. Just SSH in.
I vacillate at least twice a year between "GIMP is a perfectly fine image editor why are you complaining it's free" and "Why. Why does it have to act like this?"
Gender exists on a spectrum but not like a single dimensional rainbow, more like the oklab color space with peaks and confusing limits, and the accessible gamut within that space is contingent on both your own power level and the power level of those around you

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.
A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines
The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.
