I was recently diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Over the last several years, I’ve rewritten Rust’s regex crate to enable better internal composition, and to make it easier to add optimizations while maintaining correctness.

bstr is a byte string library for Rust and its 1.0 version has just been released!

One day before Rust 1.0 was released, I published a blog post covering the fundamentals of error handling.

This is a quick post reviewing my Archlinux setup on a System76 Darter Pro (model: darp6) with Coreboot, along with some thoughts about the laptop in general.

I’d like to break from my normal tradition of focusing almost strictly on technical content and share a bit of my own personal relationship with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).

With csv 1.0 just released, the time is ripe for a tutorial on how to read and write CSV data in Rust.

In this article I will introduce a new command line search tool, ripgrep, that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher (an ack clone) with the raw performance of GNU grep. ripgrep is fast, cross platform (with binaries available for Linux, Mac and W…

It turns out that finite state machines are useful for things other than expressing computation.

Like most programming languages, Rust encourages the programmer to handle errors in a particular way.

Go’s only method of compile time safe polymorphism is structural subtyping, and this article will do nothing to change that.

As a programmer and a fantasy football addict, I am embarassed by the means through which we must expend ourselves to get data in a machine readable form.

In sum, Archlinux is working beautifully.

Go, by its very nature, is multithreaded.
