Reading Time: 24 minutes Often, when explaining to other devs that Masset uses Kotlin as our primary backend language, I receive inquisitive and questioning faces. “The Android language? On your backend? That seems odd… Have you considered rewriting it in Rust?” 🤨 In response, I’ve often found myself struggling to e...

I’ve noticed that many shops are increasingly using e-paper displays. They’re impressive: high contrast, no backlight, and no visible cables. Unlike most electronics, these displays are seamlessly integrated and feel very natural. This got me wondering: is it possible to use such a display for a pet project? I want ...

The gcc extension __attribute__((cleanup(...))) is supported by clang as well, meaning at least in the Linux world it’s a viable way to manage memory and other resources. Yet no one talks about it and the Linux people are going so far as to try Rust for memory safety. My question: why not try __attribute__((cleanup(...))) first? Eg #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define defer(F) __attribute__((cleanup(F))) void...

I work for Sparkfish, a data and analytics consultancy serving private equity. For context, GE is a data quality library used by data and ML engineers and other folks who work with data; it’s the largest library by far in terms of community buy-in and feature set.
