A 20 minute Kafka outage brought down our entire Erlang cluster for hours. How could this happen? Follow this fascinating investigation!

If you want to buy a car, there are plenty of choices. If you want to buy a jetliner, there are fewer choices. If you want to use the Large Hadron Collider, you have a choice of exactly one. The ha…

The most important, overlooked, and predictable regression model.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has created a crisis in computing and a significant need for more hardware that is both energy-efficient and scalable. A key step in both AI and ML is making decisions based on incomplete data, the best approach for which is to output a probability for each possible answer. Current classical computers are not able to do that in an energy-efficient way, a limitation that has led to a search for novel approaches to computing. Quantum computers, which operate on qubits, may help meet these challenges, but they are extremely sensitive to their surroundings, must be kept at extremely low temperatures and are still in the early stages of development.

“Dumb” networks are the smart choice for innovation and freedom.

What is software architecture? Is it a system design with which I define certain rules in a system or design clear modules? Or even concrete classes and functions that I define? If we look at software architecture from the perspective of agile software development, we quickly come to the conclusion that it is hardly possible […]

This document presents new Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) formats for use in modern applications and databases.

Software engineering and technologies that set the world in motion

Redis is one of the super-cool pieces of software that I've always admired. Recently, I got curious about the algorithm behind expiring keys in Redis. I've used the TTL feature in Redis, quite a lot but never digged deeper to understand the concept behind it.

In a distributed environment with a central (or leader) server, if the central server dies, the system must quickly find a substitute…
