Warning: Math, Handwaving I spent a lot of time doodling in middle school in lieu of whatever it is middle schoolers are supposed to be doing. Somewhere between the Cool S’s and Penrose triangles I stumbled upon a neat way to fill up graph paper by repeatedly combining and copying squares. I suspected there was more to the doodle but wasn’t quite sure how to analyze it. Deciding to delegate to a future version of me that knows more math, I put it up on the wall behind my desk where it has follo

Cache-aware programming can make a huge performance difference, especially when writing code in C++ or Rust. Python is a much more high-level language, and doesn't give us that level of control over memory layout of our data structures. So does this mean that CPU caching effects aren't relevant in Python? In this post, we'll conduct some basic experiments to answer this question, by accessing list element either in sequental order or in a random order. Results indicate that randomized access i

[This is from a paper we’re submitting to the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2025)] Introduction Recursion and iteration are the Yin and Yang of programming. Conventional languages support both, but tend to favor the Yang – iteration. Java and C, for example, have elaborate while and for statements. But they treat functions as second-class objects that e.g. can’t be returned as results. Python is a bit better. The Yin, we might say, is strong in that one. Even Python
