These are my bookmarks.

An entry being here means that I consider it (at least partially) valuable.

I’ll be adding stuff as often as I remember I actually liked it lol.

Nat. Science

• Project Orion, and anything related – An extremely interesting piece of space exploration history. I don’t care about what could have been, but I do care that we can, we just need to figure out how.

Programming

Concepts

• Software Transactional Memory – Link – Clean, concise introduction to the STM model. It was my starting point and it worked flawlessly.
• Type-driven API Design in Rust – Link – This is applicable beyond Rust, though you need to know the language to digest all the examples.

Performance & optimization

• John Carmack on inlined code – Link – While this is not exactly optimization per se, it’s one more item to have in your toolbox.
• Measuring CPU core-to-core latency – Link – A visualization of NUMA effects to remind you locality matters more than you think it does.
• Mental models for modern program tuning – Link – Read the first part for general principles, then go to work.
