GPU-accelerated Computing with Nanos Unikernels
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.

Accessing QEMU storage features without a VM
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).

In this post, I’ll show you why 99% of Javascript code are less readable than they should be thanks to developers refusing to communicate their intention.
const the world Before ES6, there was no way to declare constants so people used to do this:
var PI = 3.14; Now when you get fired, your successor will read this code and figure out that PI should never be reassigned.
But as from ES6, everthing is a constant:
