What's a better way to fill an empty evening if not by reading about how to extend Python with Assembly? I bet you don't even know where to start to answer this question :P. But if you're curious to know how you can use another language to extend Python, and if you happen to like Assembly programming, you might end up actually enjoying this post (I hope!).

❱ Android Development from the Command Line
Do you like your development tools to be as simple as a text editor to write the code and a bunch of CLI application to build your projects? Do you feel like you are in a cage when you use an IDE? Or perhaps your PC or laptop is a bit dated and all the cores spin like crazy when you fire up Android Studio? Then read on to learn how you can develop Android application with just the text editor of your choice and the standard Android SDK CLI tools.
❱ Prime Numbers, Algorithms and Computer Architectures
What does the principle of locality of reference have to do with prime numbers? This is what we will discover in this post. We will use the segmented version of the Sieve of Eratosthenes to see how hardware specifications can (read should) be used to fix design parameters for our routines.
❱ Getting Started with x86-64 Assembly on Linux
You have experience of x86 assembly and you wonder what the fundamental architectural differences with the 64 bit Intel architecture are? Then this post might be what you are looking for. Here we'll see how to use the Netwide Assembler (NASM) to write a simple Hello World application in x86_64 assembly. Along the way, we will also have the chance to see how to use some standard tools to optimise the final executable by stripping out unnecessary debug symbols.
