In my previous post, I talked about software factories, but there is much more to cover.

In August, LaunchDarkly, Cloudflare, Vercel, and Uber each published a detailed account of a software factory they built.

Parity protection is a common technique for reliable data storage on mediums that may fail (HDDs, SSDs, storage servers, etc.)

Do you know whether this inequality is true?

If you had to come up with a way to represent signed integers in 32-bits, how would you do it?

Imagine that 90,000 years ago, every man alive at the time picked a different last name.

Did you know that the performance of an if-statement depends on whether its condition has a predictable pattern?

Sometimes you need to access private fields and call private methods on an object – for testing, experimentation, or to work around issues in third-party libraries. .NET has long provided a solution to this problem: reflection.

The story of how GPU came to be used for high-performance computation is pretty cool.

The memory model is a fascinating topic – it touches on hardware, concurrency, compiler optimizations, and even math.
