System Architecture

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

The brushless motor is more precise than a regular electric motor and it's also a great deal more efficient. Learn all about brushless motors and how the invention of transistors led to their development.

In this tutorial we will learn how brushless motor and ESC work. A BLDC motor consist of two main parts, a stator and a rotor. The rotor is...

Important new study from Apple

RHEL 10 becomes the first major enterprise Linux distro to discard traditional packaging and embrace immutable. See how we got here.

Naming things properly, completely, and clearly is a huge part of writing good code. And if you avoid these traps, it’s easy.

Less latency and high scalability are great, but does your enterprise have the skills to handle the increased complexity?

It started out with me just trying to find a cute word to put with a11y, the numeronym for accessibility. Because you have to buy a cute domain name for every side project idea, of course. And as much as I try to say “a-eleven-y” of course my brain always
