Mixed-precision arithmetic can give big code speedups. But mixed precision runs risk of wrong answers. Careful analysis and use of tools and libraries can help.
WASI Preview 2: What WebAssembly Can and Can't Do Yet
The new WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) standard is a step in the right direction, potentially paving the way for WebAssembly to fulfill its hype and promise.
A common problem in kernel development is controlling when a
specific task should be done. Kernel code often executes in contexts where
some actions (sleeping, for example, or calling into filesystems) are not
possible. Other actions, while possible, may prevent the kernel from
taking care of a more important task in a timely manner. The kernel
community has developed a number of deferred-execution mechanisms designed
to ensure that every task is handled at the right time. One of those
mechanisms, tasklets, has been eyed for removal for years; that removal
might just happen in the near future.

A Software Architect’s Blueprint: Selecting the Feature Flags Platform - Andrej Gajdos
Unlock the secrets to selecting the best feature flags platform. Get expert insights and strategies tailored for software architects and developers alike.
Feature flags solutions are pretty established by now, but I feel like there are some key features missing that would make me switch vendors. I mainly have two problems with current solutions: It can
This specification defines how MiniApps are located, which is called MiniApp Addressing, including the specifications for specific MiniApp URI syntax components based on the URI specification and the process to dereference the MiniApp URI. Implementing this specification enables the user agent to locate MiniApp resources.
RFC 9532: HTTP Proxy-Status Parameter for Next-Hop Aliases
This document defines the next-hop-aliases HTTP
Proxy-Status Parameter. This parameter carries the list of aliases and
canonical names an intermediary received during DNS resolution as part of
establishing a connection to the next hop.
Understanding Architectures for Multi-Region Data Residency
This article focuses on implementing data residency strategies for a positive stakeholder experience. It underscores the need to diversify data locations, driven by motivations like disaster recovery and geo-redundancy. The core principle is data distribution, ensuring specific sets reside in distinct regions without overlap - a practice termed data residency.
CNCF CloudEvents: A Li'l Message Envelope That Travels Far
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation has anointed CloudEvents as a graduated project, but Microsoft and others are already using the technology in large event-driven architectures.
Recently, I’ve thinking about where I want to focus my angel investing in 2024, and decided to document my thinking about value accumulation in artificial intelligence because it explains the shape of my interest–or lack thereof–in investing in artificial intelligence tooling. I’ll describe my understanding of the current state, how I think it’ll evolve over the next 1-3 years, and then end with how that shapes what I’m investing in.
RFC 9527: DHCPv6 Options for the Homenet Naming Authority
This document defines DHCPv6 options so that a Homenet Naming Authority (HNA) can automatically set the appropriate configuration and outsource the authoritative naming service for the home network.
In most cases, the outsourcing mechanism is transparent for the end user.
RFC 9526: Simple Provisioning of Public Names for Residential Networks
Home network owners may have devices or services hosted on their home network that they wish to access from the Internet (i.e., from a network outside of the home network). Home networks are increasingly numbered using IPv6 addresses, which in principle makes this access simpler, but accessing home networks from the Internet requires the names and IP addresses of these devices and services to be made available in the public DNS.
This document describes how a Home Naming Authority (NHA) instructs the outsourced infrastructure to publish these pieces of information in the public DNS.
The names and IP addresses of the home network are set in the Public Homenet Zone by the Homenet Naming Authority (HNA), which in turn instructs an outsourced infrastructure to publish the zone on behalf of the home network owner.
