DCCP: The socket type you probably never heard of · Anmol Sarma
TL;DR: DCCP is a relatively newer transport layer protocol which draws from both TCP and UDP. Jump straight to the example C code. Background Historically, the majority of the traffic on the Internet has been over TCP which provides a reliable connection-oriented stream between two hosts. UDP has been mainly used by applications whose brief transfers would be unacceptably slowed by TCP’s connection establishment overhead or those for which timeliness is more important than reliability.
A Visual and Interactive Guide to the Basics of Neural Networks – J Alammar – Explorations in touchable pixels and intelligent androids
Discussions: Hacker News (63 points, 8 comments), Reddit r/programming (312 points, 37 comments) Translations: French, Spanish Update: Part 2 is now live: A Visual And Interactive Look at Basic Neural Network Math Motivation I’m not a machine learning expert. I’m a software engineer by training and I’ve had little interaction with AI. I had always wanted to delve deeper into machine learning, but never really found my “in”. That’s why when Google open sourced TensorFlow in November 2015, I got super excited and knew it was time to jump in and start the learning journey. Not to sound dramatic, but to me, it actually felt kind of like Prometheus handing down fire to mankind from the Mount Olympus of machine learning. In the back of my head was the idea that the entire field of Big Data and technologies like Hadoop were vastly accelerated when Google researchers released their Map Reduce paper. This time it’s not a paper – it’s the actual software they use internally after years and years of evolution. So I started learning what I can about the basics of the topic, and saw the need for gentler resources for people with no experience in the field. This is my attempt at that.
HTTP/2 Server Push and Service Workers: The Perfect Partnership ◆ 24 ways
Dean Hume pops on his gown and slippers and opens up his Christmas stocking to discover the high performance gifts of Server Push and Service Workers. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
If you need to be perfect, it's hard to press the 'ship it' button. Difficult to hire someone who makes things happen (because you'll be responsible for what happens). Frighteni…
Kevin Kelly: How AI can bring on a second Industrial Revolution | TED Talk | TED.com
"The actual path of a raindrop as it goes down the valley is unpredictable, but the general direction is inevitable," says digital visionary Kevin Kelly -- and technology is much the same, driven by patterns that are surprising but inevitable. Over the next 20 years, he says, our penchant for making things smarter and smarter will have a profound impact on nearly everything we do. Kelly explores three trends in AI we need to understand in order to embrace it and steer its development. "The most popular AI product 20 years from now that everyone uses has not been invented yet," Kelly says. "That means that you're not late."
Collaborating with a number of different people from all over the place, filmmaker Oscar Boyson went out into the world and came back with this excellent 18-minute video on the future of cities. Among the cities profil
HTTP/2 promises better performance -- but with security caveats | CSO Online
The new internet communication protocol, HTTP/2, is now being used by 11 percent of websites -- up from just 2.3 percent a year ago. And while there have been no security problems found in the HTTP/2 protocol itself, there are vulnerabilities in some implementations and the possibility of lower visibility into internet traffic, so it's worth waiting for everything to shake out.
Why Native Docker Orchestration is the Best Orchestration | Linux.com | The source for Linux information
Why is this going to be an interesting talk and why should you care? asks Mike Goelzer of Docker in his LinuxCon North America presentation. The answer is that simple, robust, integrated container orchestration is key to successful containers management, and Goelzer believes that the native Docker orchestration, called Swarm, is the best orchestration. Goelzer […]
People have been talking about a post about package management dependency resolution by Russ Cox that opens "Dependency hell is NP-complete. But maybe we can climb out." It does a pretty good formal analysis of the problem of traditional dependency resolution (and its equivalence to the well-known SAT
