If I understand correctly, one of the challenges faced by this graph application relates to the workload being irregular and known only as the computation visits new parts of the graph. There's some work in this…
My favorite quote from Alan Perlis: “Symmetry is a complexity-reducing concept (co-routines include subroutines); seek it everywhere.”
The article makes for an interesting technical read, and points to some very important issues, such as debugging in a multicore environment. Even so, I encourage anyone reading this article to keep in mind that there is…
I had the good fortune to be in Dybvig’s compilers class in the mid 2000s. The way it was presented really brought the concepts to life and made it enjoyable.
There's a fairly recent study looking into the cost of raising an interrupt. TLDR: the cost on conventional systems is quite high; a significant part of the cost can be eliminated by using a custom kernel; even with a…
The Redex modeling tool [1] is an interesting point in this space. Its specialty is in making executable specifications of domain-specific languages. Redex models can be tested by the unit-testing framework of the…
Here's a link to one lobbying org whose mission I believe in. https://citizensclimatelobby.org/
Great news!
I've been locked out of my Amazon account for a year now, for reasons I don't know. Amazon reps told me I'd hear back, but there's been nothing for months now. Fortunately, the credit card they have on file expired, and…
What would concern me is, for example, if the cost of a transaction grows faster than the price of a given bitcoin in dollars. If that trend would continue for too long, then I suppose my bitcoin could get trapped in…

A few years ago, our research group published a data structure, called Chunked Sequence, that is similar to the Finger Tree. In short, Chunked Sequence features the same asymptotic profile as does Finger Tree…
