The eccentric inventor is known for dabbling with electricity, but his Tesla valve is impressing scientists anew.

The T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.5 was released with 18 pre- and cross-compiled architectures. "The 21.5 release received updates across the board, while a major point of work was the GCC 11 update as well as re-basing and fixing upstream regressions for the Sony PS3 support as well as various small improvements, including an up to 15 seconds faster system shutdown when using sysvinit."

This video from Veritasium is a nice explanation of the mathematician David Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel, which illustrates that a hotel with an infinite number of rooms can still accommodate new guests even wh

In this article we are going to show you the worst Linux distributions you can start with as a beginner, and our suggestion for first distro.

That means U.S. forces could easily strike targets in Russia and China during a conflict.

My personal exposure with TDD over the years.

Imagine you could work more and be wildly productive. And you wouldn’t need to force yourself to work.

Kubernetes operations (kOps) is one of the official Kubernetes (K8s) projects. The kOps project allows for the rapid deployment of production-grade K8s clusters on multiple cloud platforms. By leveraging YAML manifests, kOps delivers a familiar experience to users who have worked with kubectl. Similar to K8s clusters in popular cloud platforms, kOps helps set up…

Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) continues to remain a notoriously complex process for many, if not most, DevOps teams, despite a number of platform proponents promising the contrary. When organizations deploy on two or more cloud environment vendors, which is 81% of the time, according to Gartner Research, it adds an additional layer of complexity for…

I see you. In the back there, behind JavaScript and React and PHP and all those “real” programming languages, I see you. And I appreciate you.

The reasons for the ongoing global chip shortage, which is set to last into 2022 and possibly 2023, are complex and multifaceted.

Career earnings growth in the U.S. more than doubled between 1960 and 2017, and the age of peak earnings increased from the late 30s to the mid-50s. I show that a substantial share of this shift is explained by increased employment in decision-intensive occupations, which have longer and more gradual periods of earnings growth…Experience takes […]

These platforms offer great potential, but capabilities vary widely. Take time to study the options.

Getting from one place to another over a computer network can be a tricky thing. Aside from knowing the right address and opening the right ports, there's the question of security. For Linux, SSH is a popular default, and while there's a lot you can do with SSH it's still "just" a secure shell (that's what SSH stands for, in fact.) A broader protocol for encrypted traffic is VPN, which creates a unique, virtual private network between two points.

In a Twitter discussion last week on ransomware attacks, KrebsOnSecurity noted that virtually all ransomware strains have a built-in failsafe designed to cover the backsides of the malware purveyors: They simply will not install on a Microsoft Windows computer that…

There are a lot of opinions out there about how to improve and scale sites “beyond the Jamstack” by adding in features that use a Node server in addition to the pre-built pages. One of those features is called Incremental Static Regeneration. Some people call it “hybrid web development” (or “hybrid serverless + static”) but let’s talk a bit more about what that means.

Managing a team takes a lot more than just developing software

One of the benefits of containers over virtual machines is that you get some measure of isolation without the performance overhead or distortion of virtualization. Docker images therefore seem like a good way to get a reproducible environment for measuring CPU performance of your code. There are, however, complications. Sometimes, running under Docker can actually slow down your code and distort your performance measurements. On macOS and Windows, for example, standard Linux-based Docker containers aren’t actually running directly on the OS, since the OS isn’t Linux. And the image filesystem from the container itself is typically mounted with some sort of overlay filesystem, which can slow things down, so for anything I/O bound you want to use a bind-mounted volume. But even on Linux, with seeminly CPU-only workloads, Docker can distort runtime performance. Let’s see why, and some workarounds.
