In this article, I’d like to highlight one of my demos, where I aimed to recreate a piece of UI found in the Monster Hunter games.

I was surprised by how simple an allocator is

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-04 03:20:41

Table of Contents Introduction Recently I was looking at an issue on mimalloc, a "state-of-the-art" memory allocator developed by Microsoft. The issue was quite simple, developers wanted a way to preallocate a piece of memory and use it as mimalloc's heap. Seeing that mimalloc does not offer this feature, I thought: "how hard can it be to write a memory allocator to manage a preallocated region?". The answer to this question is: "given enough time, even a monkey with a typewriter can write

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a

1. Introduction If you’ve taken an algorithms class, you have likely seen dynamic programming, specifically a technique called memoization. Memoization works to optimize recursive algorithms by caching the solutions to subproblems in a table, and when a subproblem is encountered, it queries the table instead of recomputing the solution. This gives us an exponential performance boost. This blog post will show how to solve a dynamic programming problem using memoization in Lean, and verify its c
