What happens when you run a CUDA kernel?

https://fergusfinn.com/_astro/cover.jG4AhdiB.jpg
A CUDA program is compiled into machine code that runs on a GPU, involving multiple compilers and transformations from PTX to SASS, and is then launched on the GPU through a complex process involving the CUDA runtime, driver, and kernel-mode driver. The GPU executes the kernel in parallel, using warps and scheduling control bits to hide latency and optimize performance, and eventually copies ...

Building Principia for Windows XP

https://voxelmanip.se/media/building-principia-for-windows-xp/xp_bsod.webp
The user successfully built Principia, an open-source game, to run on Windows XP by creating a custom toolchain and resolving dependencies, including a patch for GCC's C++ standard library.

WATaBoy: JIT-Ing Game Boy Instructions to WASM Beats a Native Interpreter

https://humphri.es/blog/WATaBoy/wataboy-screenshot.png
Dolphin isn’t on iOS, because you can’t do JIT compilation on iOS. That’s a quick summary of OatmealDome’s blog post “Why Dolphin Isn’t Coming to the App Store”. Ever since reading that, I’ve wondered what it would take to get a CPU-bound emulator like Dolphin working on iOS. Do we just... have to wait a few years for iPhone CPUs to get fast enough to run Dolphin with an interpreter? Well, ...

WebGL Without a GPU

https://microlink.io/images/og/blog-webgl-without-a-gpu.png
WebGL is everywhere now: 3D maps, seat charts, product configurators, shader-art landing pages. It was also the slowest thing you could ask Microlink to screenshot. One Chrome flag fixed that. The one-line flag is the easy part. The display, the from-source Mesa, and proving it stays on the fast path are the rest of the story. Our browser fleet runs on commodity Linux nodes with no graphics ...

Venetian Bridge Brawls in 17th and 18th Century Art

https://pdr-assets.b-cdn.net/collections/venice-bridge-fights/venice-bridge-fights-00008.jpg?width=1200&height=765
Before crowds jostled for biennale parties and gondola rides, Venice’s waterways witnessed scenes of an even more violent kind — “La Serenissima” this was not. Factional divides ran deep, and were frequently expressed (if not settled) in street combat. Even Venice’s origin myth was partisan: the archipelago is said to have been founded by the genta da terra (from Byzantine Heraclea) and the ...

I Am Behind on C# 14 Features, and I Can't Prove It but Does It Matter?

https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*hkMBwQ2NCQaTYYG-mAlu4w.jpeg
I tried some of the new things in a side project. They were nice. But in my client projects with tight deadlines and a team that needs to understand the code quickly, I stuck with what I know. And everything still works. Here are some specific things I’m behind on, with real code examples from my own projects last month — no fluff, just honesty. The new syntax is beautiful. Everyone on ...

Type-checked non-empty strings

A Haskell technique using RequiredTypeArguments and UndecidableInstances was employed to create a type-checked non-empty string constructor, resulting in a 10% build-time improvement in a large package. This technique can be used to define type-level predicates for any type, enabling type-safe validation and error messages.

NUMA: Cores, memory, and the distance between them

https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/68dac009699a76c0c70f4c30/6a1097ca2f16955d1e45ff47_Lime_GitHub%20(1).png
A virtual machine on a NUMA host can be slow due to remote memory access costs, which can be mitigated by understanding the NUMA topology and making informed placement decisions. Xen's split design makes it challenging to manage NUMA, but Edera's stack of changes aims to make Xen-based virtualization NUMA-aware end-to-end, improving performance and predictability.

Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech

US states and countries are introducing age verification regulations under the guise of protecting children, but it's actually a precursor to attributing digital identities to physical ones, making it easier for law enforcement to identify and harass individuals. This could lead to automated identity attribution and increased surveillance, allowing governments to target inconvenient people.

Federating Clusters for Zero-Downtime Kubernetes

https://linkerd.io/2026/06/24/federating-clusters-for-zero-downtime-kubernetes/dominik-taskai.jpg
Linkerd's multicluster extension allows multiple clusters to present a service as a single endpoint, enabling federation, flat mirroring, and gateway mirroring modes. A demo setup with three GKE clusters and three services demonstrates how to mix these modes and shows how federation automates failover while mirroring gives clients control over which cluster they talk to.
