System Architecture

Acra’s features enable swift implementation of application-level encryption in modern cloud applications, saving development costs.

Build deep learning models in minutes.

The Linux random-number generator (RNG) seems to attract an outsized amount of attention (and work) for what is, or seemingly should be, a fairly small component of the kernel. In part that is because random numbers, and their quality, are extremely important to a number of security protections, from unpredictable IP-packet sequence numbers to cryptographic keys. A recent post of version 43 of the Linux Random Number Generator (LRNG) by Stephan Müller is not likely to go any further than its predecessors, but the discussion around it may lead to support for a feature that some distributions need.

Kubernetes 1.23 is released -- here are the features you will be interested in.

Alan Shimel explores the heart of DevOps: CI/CD and its roots in open source, starting with Jenkins and revolutionizing the industry.

Every failure is a learning opportunity and wise engineers learn from other people's mistakes, benefitting from otherwise bad situations.

Get better at detecting and preventing bugs by focusing on the boundaries in and around your program.

Flamegraphs are a great way to visualize performance and memory bottlenecks, but with a little tweaking, you can make them even more useful.

Reference counts are a commonly used mechanism for tracking the life cycle of objects in a computing system. As long as every user of an object correctly maintains its references by incrementing and decrementing the reference count, that object will persist for as long as it is needed and will be properly destroyed once the last user is done. The "correctly" in that sentence is important, though; things do not work as well in the presence of reference-counting errors. Networking developer Eric Dumazet is working on a reference-count tracking system that could prove useful for finding these errors in the networking subsystem and, someday, throughout the kernel.

This is about credit where due, and unwanted by the credited. In this case I speak of Kim Cameron, who passed last week and I remembered fondly in the last post. What I want to celebrate now is how…

Write interactive and collaborative code notebooks in Elixir.

Livebook recently dropped and I was curious to see what the hype was all about. I had dabbled with ipython notebook (Jupyter) long ago, so I was curious to see what an Elixir version would offer.

Meta has promised us a metaverse, but let's hope it's less like the mobile internet and more like the Web: interoperable and owned by nobody.

The cloud makes old ways of securing systems and their data obsolete. Here's how to adopt a Zero Trust strategy to keep your distributed system safe.
