Over the course of my internship at the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), I worked on the safe systems programming languages (SSPL) team to promote safer languages for systems programming where runtime overhead is important, as outlined in this b... (more…)

A while ago I was considering an idea, so I wrote a tweet to ask what folks thought about it.

Recently I have had the great fortune to work on this ticket . This was an issue that stemmed from an attempt to make clock performance faster. Previously, a call to time or clock_gettime would involve a context switch an a system call (think solaris etc)... (more…)

In the last post, I introduced the idea of linear hashing. This post will describe a Rust implementation of the algorithm. I won’t go through every last line of code, but hopefully enough to give you a good understanding of how the whole thing works. I sh... (more…)

I recently wrote about the importance of asynchronous I/O in Rust and the aims of the new futures library. This post deepens the story by explaining the core design of that library. If you’re looking for more on the use of the library, you’ll have to ...
