System Architecture

If you want to buy a car, there are plenty of choices. If you want to buy a jetliner, there are fewer choices. If you want to use the Large Hadron Collider, you have a choice of exactly one. The ha…

The most important, overlooked, and predictable regression model.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has created a crisis in computing and a significant need for more hardware that is both energy-efficient and scalable. A key step in both AI and ML is making decisions based on incomplete data, the best approach for which is to output a probability for each possible answer. Current classical computers are not able to do that in an energy-efficient way, a limitation that has led to a search for novel approaches to computing. Quantum computers, which operate on qubits, may help meet these challenges, but they are extremely sensitive to their surroundings, must be kept at extremely low temperatures and are still in the early stages of development.

Auto generate OpenAPI specifications in an language/framework agnostic manner via eBPF

Last year, I wrote about managing focus in the shadow DOM, and in particular about modal dialogs. Since the dialog element has now shipped in all browsers, and the inert attribute is starti…

Describes the design principles and implementation details of Theseus, a companion to its source-level docs.

“Dumb” networks are the smart choice for innovation and freedom.

What is software architecture? Is it a system design with which I define certain rules in a system or design clear modules? Or even concrete classes and functions that I define? If we look at software architecture from the perspective of agile software development, we quickly come to the conclusion that it is hardly possible […]

This document presents new Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) formats for use in modern applications and databases.

Redis is one of the super-cool pieces of software that I've always admired. Recently, I got curious about the algorithm behind expiring keys in Redis. I've used the TTL feature in Redis, quite a lot but never digged deeper to understand the concept behind it.

In a distributed environment with a central (or leader) server, if the central server dies, the system must quickly find a substitute…

Welcome from Hacker News! I have 10+ years experience in software engineering at a variety of companies from “Big N" to startups. I write a weekly blog post discussing various topics about working as a software engineer, running a company, and ideas on tech.

Automated, live patching is one solution as it removes the need to patch manually – and eliminates time-consuming restarts and the associated downtime

SqlAlchemy 1.4 now supports asyncio

Which one data format do you pick for your next Big Data project: CSV, JSON, Parquet and Avro?

Keyless Git commit signing with Sigstore!

In order to gain visibility into their operations, some engineering teams are doubling down on data aggregation and analysis.

After fighting with the divide between implicit and explicit synchronization with Vulkan on Linux for over seven years, we may finally have some closure.

ARM-based computers continue to make inroads across both personal computing as well as cloud server spaces, from the ARM-based MacBooks you can use during development to the AWS Graviton2-based instances that provide better price-performance than similar Intel x86-based instances. But Amazon isn’t the only cloud provider with ARM-based instances. Oracle Cloud offers the Ampere Altra […]
