Grep from First Principles, in Golang

In this article we'll build a toy version of a string searching program solely for the purposes of education. The intention is not to fully replicate the grep tool (and this post actually explains a different algorithm to the one grep uses). What we'll build will almost certainly be slow and incomplete (but fun!).

Designing a fast Hash Table

This article describes the many design decisions that go into creating a fast, general-purpose hash table. It culminates with a benchmark between my own emilib::HashSet and C++11's std::unordered_set. If you are interested in hash tables and designing one yourself (no matter which language you are programming in), this article might be for you.

Let's create a floating label input with HTML and CSS only

Floating label input is an element that visually combines an input label and the input itself into a single element. Label switches from placeholder mode to label when input is focused or has content in it. This concept has been first introduced by Matt D. Smith in 2013 and it has become a widespread pattern since then, even becoming a standard element in Google's Material Design.
