#502 – December 12, 2022 Abstraction is Expensive As you build a computer system, little things start to show up: maybe that database query is awkward for the feature you are building, or you find your server getting bogged down transferring gigabytes of data in hexadecimal ASCII, or your app translates itself to Japanese on the fly for hundreds of thousands of separate users. Use it with popular frameworks like RSpec, Pytest, Jest, Minitest, JUnit, Elixir, and more. (BACK TO TOP)

It predates HTTP version 1. A brief comparison of SOCKS5 and CONNECT proxies is included later in the post.0.0. (BACK TO TOP)
Universal adoption of agile practices has accelerated the software development lifecycle across the industry. A development project following the waterfall paradigm would put testing right before the production release phase.

I first learned Vim in university and, since then, it has been a welcome companion for the majority of my software engineering career. Working with Python and Go programs felt natural with Vim and I was always felt productive. Yet Java was always a different beast.

Created by Stable Diffusion The 70s were a time of excess and rebellion, a carefree era where people embraced their wildest impulses and let their hair down. But as the years went by, people realized that the true freedom lies not in the absence of rules, but in the discipline to follow them. And so, they put away their acid-washed jeans and neon-colored hair, and embraced a more structured, disciplined way of life. This led to inconsistencies and confusion.

As teams and applications experience growth, it’s critical to adopt architectures that optimize for clear code ownership, build isolation, and provide efficient delivery of code.

Today we are happy to announce that Crunchy Bridge has integrated with Tailscale to provide easy access to your database from any of your devices, wherever they are running.

Users sometimes ask us, “How can I trust Tailscale?” From the beginning, we’ve tried to make it so you don’t have to, by architecting our infrastructure with security and privacy in mind. When you use Tailscale, your data is end-to-end encrypted. Tailscale doesn’t have the private key, so we can’t see your traffic. Which brings us to one glaring issue that has remained with our architecture: You have still needed to trust our coordination server. With tailnet lock enabled, we add an extra step. (BACK TO TOP)
We made significant improvements to the throughput of wireguard-go , which is the userspace WireGuard ® implementation that Tailscale uses. What this means for you: improved performance of the Tailscale client on Linux. We intend to upstream these changes to WireGuard as well.

Introduction In episode 2, Bill designed a database for his dependency manager to enable Go developers to have reproducible,durable and secure builds. This database will house the hash value for each of the dependencies stored. During runtime, these hash values are compared with the dependencies a user has locally. Bill’s tool makes this comparison to make sure the user has the right version of the dependency. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction In episode 3, Bill needed to figure out how to share ownership of his dependency manager’s database in a secure and efficient manner. Bill is the only stakeholder with full access to his dependency manager’s database. That is, he is the only person with the ability to mutate the database. This is problematic because he can freely edit the database which will make it harder for other users to confidently perform audits. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction In episode 1, Bill finished by describing the dependency management conundrum Go faced in its early days. Prior to the Go team providing the module system, developers were on their own to find a solution. Engineers in the Go community did propose different solutions, but there was no general consensus on which tool to use for dependency management. In this video, Bill will begin to architect a solution to the reproducible build problem. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction In this video, Bill will introduce the concepts of what a blockchain is, the benefits of a blockchain, and the network environment it operates in.

Wracam do inflacji, im więcej czytam na ten temat tym bardziej wierzę w swoją predykcję, że przejdziemy z dwucyfrowej inflacji w tym roku do deflacji w drugiej połowie przyszłego roku. To co może zaskoczyć to ceny energii i żywności, ciężko to przewidywać. Jeśli będzie umiarkowana pogoda latem, dobre zbiory, wojna na Ukrainie jakoś się skończy i capy na ropę zaczną działać, to może być naprawdę tanio. Oczywiście, to działa też w drugą stronę.

Czytając którąś z książek Nassima Taleba natknąłem się na teorię efektu Lindy (Lindy effect). Teoria skupia się na przewidywaniu długości istnienia elementów kultury lub technologii. Efekt Lindy mówi, że każdy fenomen kulturowy i technologiczny będzie istniał proporcjonalnie długo do tego ile czasu już istnieje. Jeśli książka jest druku od 10 lat, to z dużym prawdopodobieństwem będzie w druku przez kolejne 10 lat. Ilekroć myślę o krypto to myślę o Lindy. Krypto jest w kryzysie. (BACK TO TOP)

Ma silnik Chrome, więc wszystko po prostu działa, łącznie z Extensions, Arc ma inny layout, zamiast tabów u góry, ma je po lewej.
