These extensions expand the x86 instruction set with access to registers and features that improve performance.

Along with detailing Advanced Performance Extensions (APX), Intel as effectively a footnote to that also disclosed another exciting addition to find with future Intel CPUs: AVX10

My birthday just passed, and to relax I wrote a parser combinator library. Over the last few years, I have worked quite a bit with Ni...

I have my first working C++ NLL borrow checker tests.

Use the ^ (shared) and ^^ (mut) borrow types. The "no mutable aliasing" rule is enforced at compile time.

The birth of Memory Safe C++!

We often need to encode binary data into ASCII strings. The standards (e.g., email) to do so include base16, base32 and base64. There are some research papers on fast base64 encoding and decoding: Base64 encoding and decoding at almost the speed of a memory…

The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in OpenSSH’s forwarded ssh-agent. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute…

Hello Rustaceans!

Sometimes, good things come in many. For example: birthdays! 🎉

As it just so happens, we have 3 big things to celebrate:


It's the 10th anniversary of Florian publicly posting his first Rust code on September 28th, 2013!
Ferrous...

During the last few months, we discussed a lot about how to write code to limit the size of our binary. We should think twice if we want to turn a class into polymorphic, exceptions also take a heavy toll and we might end up defaulting special functions in…

The scroll-snap-type CSS property is set on a scroll container, opting it into scroll snapping by setting the direction and strictness of snap point enforcement within the snap port.
