Hello 👋, In this short article we’ll talk about packing integers into binary data in JavaScript using the Buffer, ArrayBuffer and DataView classes. Sometimes in JavaScript, it may be necessary to pack the elements of an array into a byte buffer and then create a new numeric array from the buffer’s contents.

Picking up Rust is not that easy for me since everything I write is web services or Java programs that don’t have “low-level” logic. ...

Hello 👋, In this short article I want to talk about parallel processing in Python. Introduction Sometimes you will need to process certain things in parallel. If you’re using Python you may know about the global interpreter lock abbreviated GIL for short.
