Caching is an Abstraction, not an Optimization

Cachingdoes more than rev up performance; it cuts through the chaos of software design, making it tidier and more modular. Sure,LRUandLFUsound like they should open for a prog rock band, but their trusty old formulas stand strong against those wild swings in data access...

Insights from paper — Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data

Bigtableisn't just another footnote in Google's lineup. It dominates the data landscape, wrangling petabytes like a charm. Built for atomic row operations and sly tablet splits. Plus, it’s backed by Chubby’s fault-tolerance magic. Picture it as a NoSQL and relational database crossbreed with the fle..

Why Kubernetes Throttled My Idle Pods

70% CPU throttlingbaffled me in Kubernetes—minimal CPU usage, yet throttling? Alexandru Lazarev nailed it: ditch the CPU limits. Instant fix. Prometheus paints the spikes, while Grafana smooths them into a bore. Maybe those burstable CPU limits will swoop in to save us soon...

Switching to eBPF One Step at a Time with Calico DNS Inline Policy

Calico Enterprise 3.21rolls out eBPF-driven DNS policies toiptables, slicing latency without needing an eBPF overhaul. EnterDNS inline mode: it outpaces competing DNS policies, kills retransmits, and zips up connections.Nftables?Still lagging in eBPF chops, but xtables—which they’ve put out to pastu..

The Max Planck Institute for Human Development is dedicated to the study of human development, education, and human-machine interaction. Researchers of various disciplines; including psychology, education, sociology, medicine, history, economics, computer science, and mathematics; work together on interdisciplinary projects at the Berlin Institute.

The research questions they examine include how people make effective decisions even under time pressure and information overload, how the school as an institution affects students; development and learning processes, how the interaction between behaviour and brain function changes over a persons lifespan, how human emotions change in a historical context and how they have affected the course of history itself, as well as what social innovations and challenges digitalization brings with it.
