Welcome to my corner of the internet. This website is a personal blog which I use as a platform to document my learning journey and showcase it for the world to see.
Why Hardware Transactional Memory Failed to Go Mainstream
Hardware transactional memory promised easy lock‑free programming, but a mix of hardware complexity, unpredictable performance, high silicon cost, and insufficient language and library support kept it from widespread adoption.
Why Speculative Execution Needs Branch Prediction to Succeed
A deep dive into how branch prediction enables effective speculative execution, boosting performance while introducing new security challenges.
Encoding State Transitions with Phantom Types for Safety
A deep dive into using phantom types to model state machines in Rust, showing how compile‑time checks eliminate invalid transitions.
Why Short-Lived Objects Die Young in Modern GCs
Modern GCs favor short-lived objects, reclaiming them within milliseconds. This post explains the underlying algorithms, runtime optimizations, and practical coding tips.
Where Stream Processing Systems Draw the Line for Late Data
A deep dive into how stream engines decide what counts as late data, the mechanisms they expose, and best‑practice patterns for robust pipelines.
