System Architecture

It's an application that runs in your web browser for managing lists of feeds, sharing them with other users (both in and outside of FeedLand), and reading and sharing news.

Let's move on to discuss another topic that isn't necessarily new, but is recently making a stir in the programming world.

A deep technical dive into all things Redis. Covering various Redis topologies, data persistence and process forking.

The practice of requiring copyright assignments for contributions to free-software projects has been in decline for years; the GNU Binutils project may be the latest domino to fall in that regard. The Linux kernel project, unlike some others, has always allowed contributors to retain their copyrights, resulting in a code base that has widely distributed ownership. In such a project, who owns the copyright to a given piece of code is not always obvious. Some developers (or their employers) are insistent about the placement of copyright notices in the code to document their ownership of parts of the kernel. A series of recent discussions within the Btrfs subsystem, though, has made it clear that there is no project-wide policy on when these notices are warranted — or even acceptable.

Summary A Pattern Language is the second in a series of books which describe an entirely new attitude to architecture and planning. The books are intended to provide a complete working alternative to our present ideas about architecture, building, and planning – an alternative which will, we hope, gradually replace current ideas and practices Key […]

I am working on version 2.0 of the content API I am using as part of my work across Postman Open Technologies. It is a little meta, but I have an API for managing the content I produce and then distribute across the blog posts, videos, and books I am producing. I am using the API to help standardize and power the storytelling across my own work, but continue leveraging to do the same across my team. I’ve been using a half-baked version 1.0 of my API to guide my work for the rest of the year, but I am looking to continue adopting our internal approach to API-first at Postman as part of how I work externally as my team’s operational, demo, workshop, and community APIs. To kick off this effort I am sitting down with Bruno Pedro (@bpedro), the product manager helping lead API-first within Postman, as well as our public API strategy, and beginning to walk through his API playbook.

While progressive web apps (PWAs) are still in their early stages of development, they have the potential to revolutionize the way we use the web.

Consolidating identity and access management (IAM) tech is one of the few ways to simplify and secure against threats at the same time.

The world of decentralized web applications is an exciting place that has exploded in recent years, with technologies such as IPFS and…

Kubecon has kicked off, both virtual and in-person in Detroit, Michigan, including a Cloud Native Wasm (WebAssmbly) Day hosted by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). The tooling for WasmEdge has moved forward with the introduction of Docker integration. “Developers can build, run, and manage WasmEdge applications the same way they manage containers in the Docker […]

Session tokens and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are the two most popular ways to manage user sessions and maintain a user’s authentication state.

This graphic-based story provides an image-driven overview of 10BASE-T1L Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE), which helps facilitate the use of predictive maintenance, Industrial IoT (IIoT), and the gathering

This article describes some of the caching mechanisms inherent in CLIPS and the Rete Algorithm.

Machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and heterogeneous computing libraries such as OpenCL can use GPUs as computing devices in addition or as an alternative to CPU cores. With a new klib implementing a GPU driver, you can run a Nanos unikernel in a VM instance equipped with a GPU and execute your compute-intensive workloads on the GPU.

The Flux Web 3.0 decentralized compute network is adding storage services based on IPFS, the Inter-Planetary File System.

I should write up a larger technical document on this, but in the meanwhile is this short (-ish) blogpost. Everything you know about RISC is...
