Just how fast is 'real time' anyways?

The cognitive load theory can help us learn more effectively our codebases, and make them easier to understand.

I have been trying to write a simple console application or PowerShell script to extract the text from a large number of PDF documents. There are several libraries and CLI tools that offer to do th...

With so many options and form factors, which SSD is best for your computer? See who comes out on top when it comes to SATA vs NVMe.

Offloading work from the application server to the database through the effective use of advanced SQL features can greatly improve application performance.

The big O notation is a way to understand and model complexity in algorithms. Let's first explain time complexity. Time complexity Time complexity shows how much time a task will take depending on some parameters. Let's take an example : def func(array): half = len(array)//2 return array[half] This

Docker has transformed the way many people develop and deploy software. It wasn't the first implementation of containers on Linux, but Docker's ideas about how containers should be structured and managed were different from its predecessors. Those ideas matured into industry standards, and an ecosystem of software has grown around them. Docker continues to be a major player in the ecosystem, but it is no longer the only whale in the sea — Red Hat has also done a lot of work on container tools, and alternative implementations are now available for many of Docker's offerings.

In this blog post I'll share my journey deep into the Linux networking stack, trying to understand the memory and window management of the receiving side of a TCP connection

Performance and tooling are frequently debated in the State of PostgreSQL survey, and this year was no exception. With psql remaining the number one tool for querying and admin among PostgreSQL users, we decided to compile a list of tools— that aren’t psql—to broaden your options.

We are very excited to announce Grafbase, an edge-native data platform for developers.

You want to measure software delivery performance, but don't know how?. Do you want to know if your team is performing well? Don't you know what to do to remain competitive? The answers to these and many more questions will be answered in this post.

DevOps is guilty of moving so quickly that security gets left behind. Lock down your toolchain or risk an attack.

Learn how to use Python to get time-series data from the OpenWeatherMap API and convert it to a Pandas DataFrame, then write that data to InfluxDB.

The free RapidAPI Studio offering makes it easier for developers to build, consume, manage and monetize APIs.

If you are an HPC center in Europe, and particularly one that is funded by public funds, you are thinking about Arm-based CPUs in your supercomputers. And

XDP is a networking utility available in the Linux kernel and is used to solve many networking issues. Find out how it works.

Should devs build native applications for each platform, or take advantage of cross-platform development frameworks such as Flutter or React?

A few months ago, Equinix replaced the time-consuming and repetitive manual process for updating operating systems with an automated CI pipeline.

How do products become ‘sticky’? How do ad campaigns go ‘viral’? What differentiates genuinely successful businesses from those that fail?

Don’t just copy persuasive design. It will backfire. Here’s how to successfully build persuasive design into your larger strategy. Persuasive design elements like points, badges, reputation, and scarcity warnings are meaningless as stand-alone systems, but can be helpful in supporting a larger strategy as a use experience unfolds over time. For Persuasive design elements to …

While GUADEC, the GNOME community's annual conference, has always been held in Europe (or online-only) since it began in 2000, this year's edition was held in North America, specifically in Guadalajara, México, July 20-25. Rob McQueen gave a talk on the first day of the conference about providing solutions that bring some level of digital safety and autonomy to users—and how GNOME can help make that happen. McQueen is the CEO of the Endless OS Foundation, which is an organization geared toward those goals; he was also recently reelected as the president of the GNOME Foundation board of directors.

Forty years in, a protocol that's over the hill and under the gun, at least for the majors

A proof-of-concept docker image definition that can be natively built with the Docker CLI

Dockerfiles are a constant source of frustration in the container ecosystem. First, they are difficult to write (well). They can't express all types of build graphs – only linear graphs are easily expressible, limiting the amount of parallelism one can do (i.e., how fast your builds can be). Finally, they

A five-person team is responsible for steering the development of Python, but improvements are rarely straightforward.

Spend any time in complex systems and you know the first line of defense against tough-to-debug bugs is a reproducible process. You'd think that most software we write is reproducible – but there are many places where it isn't. Files get overwritten. Different machines have slightly different configuration. One step of

Every sufficiently advanced configuration language is the wrong tool for the job. For basic configuration, YAML or JSON is usually good enough. It falls apart when you try to do more: * Template it with a templating engine * Use esoteric language features to reuse code (anchors and aliases) * Patch or modify
