When you only know how to write brute force algorithms.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ProgrammerHumor

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • STM32-Bootloader

    STM32 bootloader example that can jump to 2 apps. (by viktorvano)

  • You're writing the first stage of a bootloader for a chip your company makes, and your SDK will provide the users with this code. EG this file from ST's CubeMX picked out of the first project containing it I found on GitHub.

  • BLAKE3

    the official Rust and C implementations of the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function

  • You're manually vectorizing something and using SIMD intrinsics instead of straight assembly. EG Blake3's AVX2 vectorization using intrinsics in Rust.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • libsodium

    A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library.

  • Very, very occasionally, it's actually possible to optimize something better than the compiler does. EG libsodium's elliptic curve scalar multiplication routines for Sandy Bridge.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
