- May 16, 2026 Evaluation Order, Sequencing Points, and Unspecified Behaviour Why C leaves the order of operand evaluation open, which operators impose sequencing, and how a language that fixes left-to-right evaluation pays for the guarantee. programming languages
- Sep 24, 2025 State Encoding and Next-State Logic in a Finite-State Machine How the choice between binary, one-hot, and Gray encoding moves cost between flip-flops and decode logic, and why unused encodings are a reliability problem. hardware engineering
- Jul 12, 2025 Monadic Sequencing and the Encoding of Effects Why an effectful program is a value describing actions, how bind sequences those descriptions, and what the monad laws do and do not guarantee. programming languages
- Oct 13, 2023 Instruction Encoding on the Harvard Mark I Paper Tape How a 24-channel tape carries three eight-bit fields per instruction, what the index numbers address, and why a one-way sequence unit made program loops physical. computing history
- Feb 22, 2023 Sequencing Work by Cost of Delay Under Precedence Constraints Why the weight-over-duration ratio is the exact ordering rule for one machine, what changes when dependencies and deadlines enter the model, and where the ratio becomes numerically fragile. software engineering
