Accelerated Zig Parser A high-throughput tokenizer and parser (soon™️) for the Zig programming language. The mainline Zig tokenizer uses a deterministic finite state machine. Those are pretty good for some applications, but tokenizing can often employ the use of other techniques for added speed. Two tokenizer implementations are provided. A version that produces a few bitstrings per 64-byte chunk and uses those to skip over continuation-character matching. I gave two talks on this subject. (

A surprising enum size optimization in the Rust compiler Enums are one of the most popular features in Rust. An enum is type whose value is one of a specified set of variants. /// Foo is either a 32-bit integer or character. enum Foo { Int(u32), Char(char), } Values of type Foo are either integers (e.g. the variant Foo::Int(3) with a payload of 3 ) or characters (e.g. the variant Foo::Char('A') with a payload of 'A' ). If you think of structs as being the and combination of their fields, enum

The next part of the Advent of Code puzzle involves interpreting instructions called do() and don't() which turn on and off the contributions of mul instructions to the sum. As we parse, we now need to keep track of one bit of state. This is a nightmare for regexes to deal with, because they recognise regular languages, and regular languages are literally stateless languages.2 There’s more nuance, of course, but as a first approximation. Technically regular languages are those that can be recogn

How “deleting multiplayer from the engine” can save memory Although the title of this article might suggest otherwise, I don’t dislike Unreal’s multiplayer features. As someone who has worked on two different multiplayer games in Unreal, I enjoy Unreal’s seamless multiplayer integration. It’s built deep into the engine instead of being moved to an optional plugin like so many other features. You can test any project in multiplayer mode without writing a single line of code. Of course, it will n

According to a report from The New York Times, Amazon has just submitted an offer to acquire TikTok. TikTok will potentially face another U.S. ban as soon as April 5th, if ByteDance does not divest the platform to an American entity by then. The TikTok ban has been an interesting story, to say the least. It was originally slated to be banned on January 19th, 2025. Then, President Trump made an agreement to delay the ban, allowing TikTok to continue operating in the US for longer. However, the

We mean the internet itself. The information. The data. The cybernetics. And because storing and moving stuff through cyberspace requires energy—which, per Einstein, has mass—it should, in theory, be possible to calculate the internet’s weight.
