Ampere Arm64 CPUs: Configurable Memory Page Sizes One of the ways that Arm64 is different from x86 is the ability to configure the size of memory pages in the Memory Management Unit of the CPU. Learn what memory page size is, how to configure page size on Linux systems, and when it might make sense to use a different page size in your applications. |

Why do we "call" functions? Although there's no confirmed cause for how the phrase "calling a function" came to be, Arthur digs some historical notes and a chain of events that possibly contributed to its modern usage. Dive in for fun history tidbits, which eventually led to Algol describing a call as "execution of a subroutine" in 1961. |

Artificial intelligence is a commodity, but understanding is a superpower AI can generate code, but developers who understand intention, context, and system integration remain irreplaceable. The ability to comprehend both the "how" and "why" of software development will continue to become more valuable as AI handles routine coding tasks. |

How I build software quickly Evan, a seasoned engineer with experience at Signal and Airtable, shares hard-won lessons from years of shipping code under tight deadlines. His key insights: deliver solid "8 out of 10" code on schedule rather than pursuing perfection, and remember that sometimes the best code is the code you don't write at all by skipping unnecessary features. |

Designing scroll behavior: When to save a user’s place While saving scroll position usually improves UX, there are important exceptions designers should know. Reset scroll position when content updates frequently (like live sports) or when too much time has passed (30-60 minutes). Understanding user intent and context helps determine the right scroll behavior for your specific use case. |
