A technical notebook of focused notes on systems programming, protocols, open-source software, Python, Haskell, and NixOS.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-30 issue.

For: Systems programmers and open-source practitioners
Worth noticing: An endianness explainer contrasts 01 02 and 02 01 for the same two-byte integer.

Field notes

Archive entries are grouped under seven subjects, including Protocols (8), Python and Haskell (5), Nix and Unix (4), and Self-hosting (4). The homepage also supplies reading paths for Cap’n Proto, Python, and NixOS, plus a compact endianness example showing 0x0102 as 01 02 or 02 01 depending on byte order. RSS is offered; the site’s description says its guides use tested examples and primary references.
