I wasn't happy with existing solutions for clean shutdown of Azure Spot VMs so I put together this tiny service application that does basically what all those scripts do, but with way less resources and without continuously launching s

An observation and a rant. Many will not even notice that icons got more blurry with Windows 10 and then worse, but I needed to get this off my chest, and perhaps I'll find likeminded minds in this regard through this.

It's a little more complicated if you are to be using themes, GDI and common controls. Some time ago I put together this example: https://github.com/tringi/win32-dpi The high DPI support in Windows went through

There's this issue with Win32 synchronization API, discussed and documented in many blogs, videos and tutorials over the years, that comes up again and again, that one thread can only wait for 64 (MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS) kernel objects a

As awesome as these algorithms are, I can never imagine use case. Any time I need to turn something into uppercase or lowercase, it's user's input or something Unicode. Which can be in any random language, so all the crazy Unicode

The Hub Event (working title) is similar to the standard Win32 Event Object, but multiple consumers (clients) of the event can reliably wait on them, while being set/reset by the producer. When the software requires to signal/rele

Some time ago I did some test, 256 threads competing on a small number of cache lines, and found out that all, CreateMutex, CRITICAL_SECTION and SRWLOCK, were quite fair. The most successful thread was only 25%, 15% and 9% ahead of the leas

I'm always fascinated when engineers who make my year's salary in a week come up with something as dumb as this.

A simple tool that I've created to solve a somewhat self-inflicted problem. In some projects I want or need small differences in DLL .def exports, differences by architecture or release/debug. And I don't want to manually mai

Algorithm intended as a replacement for basic fast Ctrl+F search inside C++ sources. Ignores insignificant whitespace, diacritics and is case insensitive. Can ignore comments/strings or search explicitly inside them. Matches camelCase
