System Architecture

Suppose you want to build a predictive text engine. Given a few letters, you want to predict the end of a word. Suppose we have the string

Scott reverse-engineered the encrypted protocol GoodWe smart meters and solar inverters use to send metrics to the cloud. The result of my lucky dip was a GoodWe DNS G3 Inverter and a GoodWe HomeKi…

Tigris is a globally distributed S3-compatible object storage service that provides low latency anywhere in the world, enabling developers to store and access any amount of data for a wide range of use cases.

Back in 2015, when we were launching The Next Platform, a lot of stuff was going on all at the same time, which is part of the zeitgeist that we were

With push protection now enabled by default, GitHub helps open source developers safeguard their secrets, and their reputations.

Conditionals attract bugs

In the Introduction To Database Indexing Article, We discussed database indexes, Their type, representations, and use cases.

Researchers disclosed multiple potential vulnerabilities that may impact some AMD processors, including Zen-based product lines across multiple generations.

This post discusses how to create containers that are smaller and more secure by including Wolfi as the base image when creating containers using Cloud Native Buildpacks.

DoorDash builds an in-house search engine on top of Lucene to support growing search needs.

The columnar storage file format is designed for IoT’s unique needs, including reduced network transmission and cloud computing resources.

In the previous part we've talked about message brokers in general and I hope you got a brief understanding of how they work and why you'd need them. In this article, we're going to dive deeper and explore one of them - **RabbitMQ**.

Three years before making Minority Report, director Steven Spielberg assembled a supergroup of deep thinkers who conceptualized many of the movie's most enduring visions of the future. A virtual roundtable takes you back to that momentous event in the history of sci-fi filmmaking.

Part of the genius of Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report is the way the movie hides its dystopia beneath the comforting skin of the familiar.

Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

It’s been a couple years of working full-time on Luro and we’ve travelled through at least three (or four?) different distinct architectures. If that sounds like a lot, I’d agree. It’s been educational to say the least.

Efficient Monitoring and Management Solutions for Container Environments

Learn the concepts of reliability, and how to define a reliable data system

Comparing two software technologies you've probably never heard of

Picat is a research language intended to combine logic programming, imperative programming, and constraint solving. I originally learned it to help with vacation scheduling but soon discovered its planner module, which is one of the most fascinating programming models I’ve ever seen. First, a brief explanation of logic programming (LP). In imperative and functional programming, we take inputs and write algorithms that produce outputs. In LP and constraint solving, we instead provide a set of equations and find assignments that satisfy those relationships.

Overview I’ve decided to start a series of blog posts to cover some details about scx_rustland , my little Linux scheduler written in Rust ...

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations face constant attacks from a multitude of sophisticated cyber threats and as traditional perimeter-based security models are becoming less effective against modern attacks, a paradigm shift towards a Zero Trust security strategy has gained significant momentum.

Media over QUIC is a new live media protocol in development by the IETF.

Vector databases are specialized systems to store, manage, and query data in the form of vector embeddings. They are optimized for similarity search, which involves finding the most similar items to a given query vector.
