Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

In the past two years, Typst has become the foundation to base document writing on for so many people. With the lessons from their experience, we are launching our new website today.

I wrote a short post on learning the fundamentals of distributed systems, with a few suggested resources to read and a few suggested projects to try.

Building a Debugger is now officially released!
It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.
Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

Anyway I tried out Cursor last night and was shocked at how bad it was out of the box. And only marginally better after some tweaks.
I continue to find the complete randomness of experiences with LLMs to be pretty baffling.

I'm delighted to announce the 5th edition of Programming Language Pragmatics! I joined Michael Scott as a coauthor. We updated the semantics chapter to use inference rules, & substantially updated coverage of types, OO, codegen, Rust ownership & safe concurrency, async, traits & more!

companies use stack ranking because if they used heap ranking they'd need to start talking about which allocator to use

Was thinking recently about how cool would be to merge fuse and imap protocol. Not sure if email would lay good in filesystem, but it has the same folders, creation, deletion, moves between folders. And you would be able to use any editor, piped command and unix tool you would like to!

Why there is no lsp server that would be based on tree sitter queries, for symbols and so? Sure, it would never have competition with an actual lsp server, but as a fallback with simple syntax error highlight, per-file symbol completions and navigation it would’ve been really cool

I really like Helix editor, what I can’t understand though is how come that a code editor in 2025 doesn’t have any option to highlight trailing whitespaces and remove them automatically. Why do I have to look for them in git diffs and get rid of them manually?

With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...
