inkelinks S02E25

Happy Friday to you all! Yes, once again I failed to deliver you a new episode last week, but did I really failed or am I just slowly moving towards a biweekly pace? Who knows.

Links

  • Exploring Clang/LLVM optimization on programming horror [8m]
    Fascinating deep dive into how a compiler optimises the wrong way to calculate if a number is even. It definitely feels like magic.
  • Alan Kay’s answer to How does one get as close as possible to mastering software engineering? [3m]
    Interesting read. I always struggle calling myself a software engineer, and this answer doesn’t really helps.
  • Encryption in groups of unknown order [5m]
    I find public key encryption methods fascinating, and this way to explain how RSA works is fantastic:

    […] RSA encryption takes place in a group where everybody knows how to multiply but not everyone knows how to divide.

Video of the week
