Let’s say you need to write a client that talks to a third party API, like the AWS API, or the Twilio API. Go gives you a lot of tools that can help you write a really good client, but you have to know how to take advantage of them!

Dave Täht has been working to save the Internet for the last six years (at least). Recently, his focus has been on improving the performance of networking over WiFi — performance that has been disappointing for as long as anybody can remember. The good news, as related in his 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference talk, is that WiFi can be fixed, and the fixes aren't even all that hard to do. Users with the right hardware and a willingness to run experimental software can have fast WiFi now, and it should be available for the rest of us before too long.

MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS, Vt. (AP) — Rhonda "Honey" Phillips keeps her own cows and garden at her small, hillside homestead, and now is pushing self-sufficiency in a more high-tech direction. This year, she installed new solar panels just downhill from her modest house and hung a Tesla Powerwall backup battery on her basement wall, to charge up when it's sunny and draw down when it isn't. "My grandfather used to say, 'Whatever you can see is what you should be taking care of,'" said Phillips, 57, whose family has been in Vermont since the 1700s. With shorter winters and hotter temperatures in the summer, Phillips is convinced she's seeing climate change. In her renewable energy project, Phillips got help from the Vermont solar company SunCommon and Vermont's major electric company, Green Mountain Power.

VMware built the foundation of its business on making workload portability viable. But in the last few years, the concept of “workload” has been refined. The part of a virtual machine that behaves as though it were a machine, introduces too much overhead. Without it, a workload may be easier to maintain — assuming we…

I am tired of the classic left/right perspective on society, policy, and politics. I realize that markets are an incredible tool to allocate resources efficiently. And I also realize that markets are subject to failure and we need to protect our society from these market failures. I am not a purist on either side of […]
