Fractran: Computer architecture based on the multiplication of fractions
Fractran is a computer architecture based entirely on the multiplication of fractions. A prime is a number that can only be divided by itself one, since these numbers can’t be divided, they can considered the DNA of other numbers. The factoring of a number into prime numbers, for example: 18 = 2 × 32, exposes […]
Logbookd – SQLite Backed Syslogd
#logbookd, the small journald This is a syslogd implementation that is the answer to the question “what if the busybox developers made journald”. This is a tiny daemon that receives kernel log messages and syslog messages on an unix socket and stores those in an sqlite database for querying. Due to how sqlite works it’s […]

D&D is Anti-Medieval
You can be forgiven for thinking that OD&D is a medieval European fantasy game. After all, Gary Gygax himself says so. He describes the original D&D books as “Rules for Fantastic Medieval War Games” (on the cover) and “rules [for] designing your own fantastic-medieval campaign” (in the introduction). However, in the game itself, there’s precious […]
AT&T’s Hobbit Microprocessor (2023)
An unexpected journey for AT&T with it’s own low power processor Over 200 billions Hobbitses. Hobbitses in your phone, in your TV, in your computer. Hobbitses everywhere! * * With apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien Telecoms giant AT&T once had giant computing ambitions. Its Bell Labs research arm invented the transistor and developed the C programming […]
How to Optimize Your Career for Happiness
The relentless pursuit of success often means chasing after promotions, pay raises, and prestigious titles. But what if we shifted our focus from these traditional metrics and instead optimized our careers for happiness? In the quest for career happiness, it’s essential to move beyond traditional metrics of success and delve into the nuanced interplay between […]
Powerful, Open-Source, Programmatic CAD
Why? Because These Are Problems Programmers Have Already Solved. With the explosion of 3D printing, designing 3D objects has become an even more important problem. And it’s a complicated one. We need to design complicated objects that precisely interface with each other. And often we don’t want to just design a single object, but classes […]
A Time Consuming Pitfall for 32-Bit Applications on AArch64
It’s common to run 32-bit legacy applications on 64-bit Linux systems. Similar to many other architectures, AArch64 (referred to as arm64 in the context of Linux) also supports this. When you build the Linux kernel for this scenario, you have to enable the CONFIG_COMPAT option in the kernel config. However, there’s one potential issue I’d […]
