Engineers find a way to protect microbes from extreme conditions
Microbes that are used for health, agricultural, or other applications need to be able to withstand extreme conditions, and ideally the manufacturing processes used to make tablets for long-term storage.

代碼精讀 LevelDB 布隆濾波器
簡介–布隆濾波器 BloomFilter 是一種常用的「使用少量字節數判斷鍵值存在性」的手段。其大致原理爲：使用多個哈希函數，對同一個鍵值做哈希運行，並將其哈希值取模設置比特數值。當給定一個鍵值時，如果計算上述多個哈希函數，存在一個哈希值對應的比特位爲零，則說明該鍵值不存在。從上可以發現，BloomFilter 常用於判斷鍵的不存在性。由於哈希碰撞的原因，可能存在假陽性 (False Posit ⌘ Read more
圖解支付賬務系統核心設計（進階版）
在前一篇的《圖解支付賬務系統入門》中，講解了賬務相關的一些基礎概念和關鍵模塊的設計要點。今天繼續深入講解支付賬務系統的設計，部分內容和入門篇有重複。進入正題前，先講個小故事。在入門篇中有說到，老闆把賬務系統也劃到我這裏管理，我只得被迫學習賬務知識。某日的下午，窗外驕陽如烈火，我端着一杯咖啡正襟危坐，正式開始學習賬務相關知識。首先映入眼簾的是賬戶、科目、會計分錄，翻了幾遍，還是雲裏霧裏，於是去找做賬 ⌘ Read more

Desert-loving fungi and lichens pose deadly threat to 5,000-year-old rock art
The Negev desert of southern Israel is renowned for its unique rock art. Since at least the third millennium BCE, the hunters, shepherds, and merchants who roamed the Negev have left thousands of carvings (petroglyphs) on the rocks. These figures are mostly cut into desert varnish: a thin black coating on limestone rock, which forms naturally. Many represent animals such as ibexes, goats, horses, donkeys, and domestic camel … ⌘ Read more

There’s something special about writing your own programs for OS/2 in C and finally getting it to work after sifting through lots of ancient docs. ✨

Some sanity for C and C++ development on Windows
The article’s from 2021, but I think it’s still worth discussing. A hard reality of C and C++ software development on Windows is that there has never been a good, native C or C++ standard library implementation for the platform. A standard library should abstract over the underlying host facilities in order to ease portable software development. On Windows, C and C++ is so poorly hooked up to operating system interfaces that most portab … ⌘ Read more
