Over the past few years, the Arm architecture has made steady gains, particularly among the hyperscalers and cloud builders. But in the HPC community, Arm remains under-represented. But perhaps not for long. The “Fugaku” system at RIKEN Lab in Japan is without a doubt the largest and best known Arm supercomputer, and blazed the technological

What is Flutter? This article explores how the mobile UI framework works, its key features, and the skills needed to use it.

As containerisation of applications becomes more popular, could we build a modern mainframe with new hardware features?

What started as lighthearted iconoclasm, poking at the bear of SOLID, has developed into something more concrete and tangible. If I do not think the SOLID principles are useful these days, then what would I replace them with? Can any set of principles hold for all software? What do we even mean by principles?

Microprocessor-scale transistors detect and respond to biological states and the environment. Your phone may have more than 15 billion tiny transistors packed into its microprocessor chips. The transistors are made of silicon, metals like gold and copper, and insulators that together take an elec

MirageOS is a programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems.

Below is an excerpt from Street Coder, where Sedat Kapanoglu talks about opacity in software.

A new way of understanding climate change and other phenomena.

Nebulon has developed a DPU specifically for edge servers, enabling their CPUs to fully focus on running applications.

This document specifies the "SVCB" ("Service Binding") and "HTTPS" DNS resource record (RR) types to facilitate the lookup of information needed to make connections to network services, such as for HTTP origins. SVCB records allow a service to be provided from multiple alternative endpoints, each with associated parameters (such as transport protocol configuration), and are extensible to support future uses (such as keys for encrypting the TLS ClientHello). They also enable aliasing of apex domains, which is not possible with CNAME. The HTTPS RR is a variation of SVCB for use with HTTP (see RFC 9110, "HTTP Semantics"). By providing more information to the client before it attempts to establish a connection, these records offer potential benefits to both performance and privacy.

This note describes additional optional resource records for use with the Domain Name System (DNS). These optional resource records are for use with the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP). This document is a product of the IRTF Routing Research Group. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

TLDR: A demo speaks louder than a thousand words. You can connect to an isolated browser created by me and my team via browserling.com/browse. We run isolated browsers on our servers and stream just the browser window to you. ## Isolated Browser – What Is It? An isolated browser, also known as browser isolation is a...

A professor of semantic data processing channels Harry Potter to explain the role of advanced vector databases for better AI/ML performance.

Decentralized applications, where the identity and application data are both controlled by the person using the app provide the means of disintermediting companies who leverage their privileged position to work for their own interests and against ours.

The Linux kernel supports a wide variety of filesystems, many of which are no longer in heavy use — or, perhaps, any use at all. The kernel code implementing the less-popular filesystems tends to be relatively unpopular as well, receiving little in the way of maintenance. Keeping old filesystems alive does place a burden on kernel developers, though, so it is not surprising that there is pressure to remove the least popular ones. At the 2023 Kernel Maintainers Summit, the developers talked about these filesystems and what can be done about them.
