A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander, Murray Silverstein, and Sara Ishikawa – The Rabbit Hole
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.
Serverside WebAssembly hyped at Kubecon North America: tooling for Docker and Dapr integration introduced • DEVCLASS
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 […]
Wondering what is a service mesh? Get all of your service mesh questions answered with this short and sweet primer. We take a look at how the two crucial parts of a service mesh, the control plane and the data plane, work together to handle interservice communication.
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
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.
Eradicate data – don't destroy unwanted drives – Blocks and Files
Verity ES is a company that permanently deletes data from storage devices so they can be recycled instead of being destroyed, with three-pass overwrite deletion of an 8TB disk drive estimated to take three days. Existing data sanitization and IT asset disposition supplier Revert has set up Verity ES – ES stands for Eradication Software […]
The QEMU emulator has a sizable set of
storage features, including disk-image file formats like qcow2, snapshots,
incremental backup, and storage migration, which are available to virtual
machines. This software-defined storage functionality that is available
inside QEMU has not
been easily
accessible outside of it, however. Kevin Wolf and Stefano Garzarella
presented at
KVM Forum
2022 on the new qemu-storage-daemon program and the libblkio
library that make QEMU's storage functionality available even when the goal
is not
to run a virtual machine (VM).
