System Architecture

Hazel is a live functional programming environment featuring typed holes.

Distributed Data Management Architecture (DDM) is IBM's open, published software architecture for creating, managing and accessing data on a remote computer. DDM was initially designed to support record-oriented files; it was extended to support hierarchical directories, stream-oriented files, queues, and system command processing; it was further extended to be the base of IBM's Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA); and finally, it was extended to support data description and conversion. Defined in the period from 1980 to 1993, DDM specifies necessary components, messages, and protocols, all based on the principles of object-orientation. DDM is not, in itself, a piece of software; the implementation of DDM takes the form of client and server products. As an open architecture, products can implement subsets of DDM architecture and products can extend DDM to meet additional requirements. Taken together, DDM products implement a distributed file system.

Here’s a tour of the pre-alpha demo release of GNOME Online Desktop included in Fedora 8. Learn more about what it does and how you can get involved in the project.

There’s some talk on desktop-devel-list about exactly what “online desktop” means, and in private mail I got a good suggestion to focus it such that end users would understand. &#…

Let's understand how Walmart successfully managed the traffic surges during the Black Friday event with their Clojure system.

It’s beautiful to see the industry finally adopt a superior technique for API versioning: rolling versions. Last week, Sequence adopted rolling versions as the versioning scheme for their API. Ten years ago, this scheme was unheard of, but fast-forward to this day, and it is fast becoming ubiquitous thanks to Stripe for inventing and popularising this technique with their article — APIs as infrastructure: future-proofing Stripe with versioning.

Submerging computers in a synthetic nonconductive oil may prove far better at cooling them than other strategies

Preface This article is an introduction the Odin Programming Language. It is aimed at people who know a bit of programming, but have never touched Odin. It is not a reference guide, rather I try to keep things informal and talk about what I think are important aspects of the language. There will be some notes on differences to C/C++, as Odin in many ways tries to be better C. If you enjoy this article and want to support me, then you can do so by becoming a patron.
