For a long time, Lwan used to use a heavily modified version of the hash table from the kmod project.

In a previous blog post, I mentioned that there was no way to await on multiple file descriptors at once in Lwan.

My dad was an economist, and the only computer he knew how to operate was his trusty old HP-12C, a financial calculator that uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN).

When learning a new programming language, I either write something I've written multiple times, or dive-in head first into some random project for a drive-by contribution.

C lacks the concept of constructors, making it hard to define global variables that are semi-constants in a foolproof way.

Defining things in different sections in a binary is really useful – and used by quite a few projects, from operating system kernels to web servers, like Lwan.

Many years ago, I helped a friend with her capstone project.

Here's a fun trick: implementing a Blurhash-like thing for galleries, without requiring JS, just plain CSS.

Some people over the years told me they were interested in knowing how asynchronous I/O works in Lwan.

The other day I saw this toot by Stargirl, and it caught my eye:

Before C and C++ standardized attributes for functions, pretty much any industrial-strength compiler would implement some sort of mechanism.

After reading Daniel Stenberg's post on case-insensitive string comparison in cURL, I decided to take a stab at implementing something like this in Lwan for the same reasons.

It's been a while since I've blogged about the JSON library optimization work I did for Lwan's entry in the TechEmpower Web Framework Benchmarks.

Out of the many benefits of HTTP/2 is its ability to not waste bandwidth with headers when compared to HTTP/1.1.

One of the long standing tasks in Lwan is to implement HTTP/2.

A few weekends ago, I decided to break my hiatus of recreational programming and play a bit with Serenity OS.

A common pattern you see in programs are predicates such as is_action_allowed(), or should_perform_action(), taking a constant value, often from an enumerated type, and returning a boolean value.

A while back I opened an online form so that people could ask me anonymous questions, and posted it on Twitter.
