The kernel reads your files before you ask for them, guessing from where your reads land. Here is how that guessing actually works (the window, the marker, the background fetch) and the two ways to in...

Over the last two articles we went through everything needed to run a model: an SDK that runs inference, and a management layer that downloads models, sizes them for your hardware and loads them. Yo...

In the previous article we followed a packet all the way in from the wire and all the way back out. At every step something was reading or writing memory — the page the driver handed the card, the sk...

An interactive tour of what’s new in PostgreSQL 19: property graph queries, REPACK, plan advice, temporal updates, and more, with short runnable SQL examples you can edit and run in the browser.

If you’ve used Testcontainers in any language (Go, Java, .NET, Python, Node, Rust), you’ve probably noticed an extra container hanging around in your docker ps output while your tests run. Its image i...

Follow a single metric through its whole life inside VictoriaMetrics: born as a counter in your process, exported over the wire, given an identity and an inverted-index entry, written through an LSM t...

At the end of the previous article we watched a module fill in a struct net_device_ops (include/linux/netdevice.h:1436), hand it to register_netdev() (net/core/dev.c:11531), and walk away. That’s a p...

The select statement is a cornerstone of Go's concurrency model, enabling developers to coordinate multiple channel operations with precision. This talk…

It has been a very intense week for me at Amsterdam. I went there, invited by JetBrains, to co-host the Go 1.

In the previous article we took yzma apart and found a very disciplined bridge: purego finds the functions inside libllama.so, libffi makes the calls, and no C compiler is involved anywhere. What you...

At the end of the previous article we handed a request to “the driver” and let it disappear into the hardware. That’s been the pattern for a while now: the VFS hands off to a filesystem, the block la...

In the previous article we looked at what inference actually is — how a model takes a prompt and builds a response one token at a time. I mentioned two Go projects that let you run that loop locally:...

Full conference schedule for GopherCon UK 2026. Talks, sessions, and breaks across two days.

An interactive tour of what’s new in Go 1.27: every notable language, runtime, and standard library change, with short runnable examples you can edit and run in the browser.

The first time I reached for testing/synctest, I assumed it was a sleep helper with better manners. The public API is small enough to support that assumption: synctest.Test(t, func(t *testing.T) { ......

A collection of blog posts explaining software internals in an approachable way

An interactive tour of what’s new in Go 1.27: every notable language, runtime, and standard library change, with short runnable examples you can edit and run in the browser.

Hardware accelerated local LLM inference for Go with llama.cpp integration.

In the previous article we followed a read() all the way down through the VFS: from the syscall, to the struct file, to ext4, and into the page cache. And there was exactly one moment where we skippe...

Welcome to a new series! For most developers today, using a large language model means one thing: an HTTP call to somebody else’s computer. You send a prompt to an API, tokens come back, and everythin...

In the previous article we saw how the scheduler decides which task gets the CPU — so at this point we know how programs get to run. But running isn’t enough: for a program to be useful, it almost al...
