I started chair dancing when Nvidia told me about its GeForce Now cloud-gaming app for the Steam Deck. My Deck OLED is my most frequently used nonessential device, so I was stoked that GFN provided a way to play Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games on it. And it was great, even on my pretty uneven Wi-Fi connection, until it started tossing me into queues with up to 40 people ahead of me. And that was on Ultimate, the priciest tier with the shortest wait times and longest sessions. It was a blip in my

Introduction We recently made available some teaching material that we have used to teach program verification to scientists and engineers at Amazon. It composed of lecture slides and exercises with solution. If you want to learn about Dafny and program verification, you can jump right in. You will learn how to program in Dafny, how to do use Dafny as a proof assistant, and finally how to verify programs. If instead you are more interested in teaching program verification, you may find the orga

A short note on two related rules of thumb. If there’s an if condition inside a function, consider if it could be moved to the caller instead: fn frobnicate (walrus: Walrus) { ... } fn frobnicate (walrus: Option <Walrus>) { let walrus = match walrus { Some (it) => it, None => return , }; ... } As in the example above, this often comes up with preconditions: a function might check precondition inside and “do nothing” if it doesn’t hold, or it could push the task of precondition checking to its

Understanding Memory Management, Part 5: Fighting with Rust This is the fifth post in my planned multipart series on memory management. You will probably want to go back and read Part I, which covers C, parts II and III, which cover C++, and part IV, which introduces Rust memory management. In part IV, we got through the basics of Rust memory management up through smart pointers. In this post I want to look at some of the gymnastics you need to engage in to do serious work in Rust.

TypeScript Autoawait This VScode extension automatically add missing 'async/await' keywords when you save a typescript file. Usage There must be a "tsconfig.json" in your project folder. Example add "await" and/or "async" 1 async function test(){ someAsyncFn() } 2 function test(){ someAsyncFn() } 3 function test(){ await someAsyncFn() } the above 3 scripts will be converted to async function test(){ await someAsyncFn() } If you do not want some async function to be added "await", u

We ported a few popular Shadertoy shaders over to Rust using Rust GPU. The process was straightforward and we want to share some highlights. The code is available on GitHub. Rust GPU is a project that allows you to write code for GPUs using the Rust programming language. GPUs are typically programmed using specialized languages like WGSL, GLSL, MSL, or HLSL. Rust GPU changes this by letting you use Rust to write GPU programs (often called "shaders" or "kernels"). These Rust GPU programs are t

When people say Rust is a “safe language”, they often mean memory safety. And while memory safety is a great start, it’s far from all it takes to build robust applications. Memory safety is important but not sufficient for overall reliability. In this article, I want to show you a few common gotchas in safe Rust that the compiler doesn’t detect and how to avoid them. Even in safe Rust code, you still need to handle various risks and edge cases. You need to address aspects like input validatio

UI Algorithms: A Tiny Undo Stack I’ve needed this before - a couple of times. Third time I figured I needed something small, nimble - yet complete. And - at the same time - wondering about how to do it in a very simple manner. I think it worked out great, so let’s dig in. Undo histories and managers Most UIs will have some form of undo functionality. Now, there are generally two forms of it: undo stacks and version histories. A “version history” is what Photoshop history gives you - the abili
