Bucharest Tech Week Conference - Monoliths in a Microservices World

Last week I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present at the Software Architecture Summit as part of the Bucharest Tech Week conference. My presentation, Monoliths in a Microservice World, was all new content that, by chance, worked well bringing together a number of points made by other speakers. The presentation aimed at the challenges of adopting Microservices and whether…

What about bird girls? Oh and robot girls? Android girls??

all deserve all the birdseed, voltage and bloat-free micro-kernels they can get their hands on in my humble opinion

[utopicwork]

Learning about Redox as a jumping off point for working on my own Rust based micro kernel because I have a very specific idea about utilizing WASM and finding some other very interesting projects like

[brandwhorestarscream]

Idea for Amnesiac!Shockwave: he was a warframe who didn’t want to serve his designated function and instead wanted to become a scientist, so he used his size-changing powers to appear as an altmode that was deemed “appropriate” to have such a job and ended up interning at the Autobot Ministry of Science. However, upon finding out the Ministry of Science’s more unethical projects, he was horrified and attempted to share the horrors of what they had done to the rest of Cybertron, only for both his plans and true altmode to found out by the Autobot High Command, who subjected him to empurata as punishment for his “treason”, spreading of “malicious slander”, and refusing to serve his function, alongside shadowplay so that he would be incapable of telling anybot what he had discovered.

Amnesiac!Shockwave is a huge dork, very emotional and socially awkward but very earnest and passionate about both equality between frametypes and his line of work (Basically, you know Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire? That’s him full stop.), at least assuming that the shadowplay isn’t in effect here. If it is, however, he still displays that persona but as a form of masking to try his best to retain a sense of normalcy and hide the fact that something is “wrong” with him. (To potentially make it even more angsty, given how Animated!Shockwave has been shown to be kind of sassy with a dark sense of humor, perhaps the shadowplay was botched and left him incapable of feeling positive emotions/genuine happiness that isn’t derived from another’s misfortune or just unable to feel love and empathy.)

He also ends up forging a close bond with Bumblebee and acts as an older brother to him, similar to his dynamic with him in his Longarm disguise except 100% genuine. Whether Bee feels the same or is deeply uncomfortable by it depends on what point in the series he loses his memories and whether or not Bee knows the truth about Longarm yet.

(Oh, and he’s still devoted to Megatron, just in more of a ‘squealing fanboy’ sense. The dude’s super upset he can’t find his copy of Towards Peace anywhere because if he did he would be BEGGING on his servos and knees for Megs to sign it.)

We have almost exactly the same ideas about amnesiac Shockwave XD I originally didn't include him cuz he's not part of the earth cast, but I can delve into it real quick

Amnesiac Shockwave in TFA is reverted back to a young, idealistic, and incredibly passionate mech. Shockwave is the most curious person you've ever met, always humming and hawing and investigating anything he can get his hands on. He's overflowing with energy 24/7, a whirlwind of emotions, constantly bouncing from one topic to another at the drop of a hat. He always has like a minimum of three projects going on at once, and the fastest way to get his attention is to offer a kernel of knowledge he doesn't yet have access to

He's so eager and overly friendly he's honestly A Lot to deal with. He talks a mile a minute (not super speed enhanced speech like Blurr, but rather a sort of autistic/ADHD rambling infodump) and will follow around anyone that will listen. As a born war frame and stuck on the southern half of the planet he didn't naturally have access to higher education or even of-quality information a lot of the time, so when he was young he may or may not have spent time teaching himself how to hack and manuever around firewalls on the internet just so he could read and learn.

Big agree on him using his ability to shapeshift to infiltrate the north and go to school--he wanted nothing more than to learn. Science is his greatest love and he always pushes for more, more, more!

But, enough backstory. With him stranded on earth with no memories, he's just an overly-excited neurodivergent science student that is over the moon to be on an organic planet. Think of all the things to study! Carbon based life forms, evolution on micro and macro levels, a functioning water cycle, weather patterns, polar vertices, planetary rotations, everything you could imagine! He's never been so excited! Starry eyed and full of joy, it's tangible even tho he doesn't have a face anymore

Since TFA Shockwave is considerably more expressive and sassy than, say, his Aligned iteration, I hc him to either have not been shadowplayed, or having a very minor case. So his mental state is still pretty stable, but the changes to his body... they definitely come as a shock. The usefulness of his hands has been severely cut down, only 3 barely-dexterous claws instead of fully articulated fingers and a thumb is a huge blow. Not to mention his face--he doesn't even look like a person anymore, and it's the cause of much despair. Yeah, he can shapeshift, but it's not the same. This could also open the door to the earth team being introduced to what empurata is, another horror of the autobots' past that has been erased for the sake of making them look good. State-funded mutilation of citizens isn't exactly a good look, after all

[cute-the-niini]

I have yet another iteration of Kate :')

While I was trying the screen out i found the old case to be a bit too big for my comfort (it was a bit bigger than the PSP), so im now trying something in the direction of the DS (as in, a flip-console, not a real dual screen one... although i am toying with having two screens, we'll see...)

Here's what it looks like open:

And here's what it looks like closed. The neat thing about the DS format is that it has a smooth top side, which in turn lets me indulge in: cute illustrations on the cover!

(Also I've decided to just expose some of the connectors from the Raspberry Pi directly rather than trying to have everything going through a single USB-C connector. It's a bit more complex-looking but it also means you don't need a separate docker for doing basic things with it. I haven't written the kernel driver for the micro-SD expansion yet so we'll see if that survives after my first attempts :'>)

I'm hoping to have a few prototypes 3d printed over the next couple of months. I'll report back once I manage to fit every component neatly inside the case and figure out how hinges are supposed to work :'>

Oh! The thumb stick on the left is also new. No support for it in the OS yet, but at least that part isn't hard (getting analog input through the pi with my baby electronics knowledge OTOH...). Haven't decided if I'll settle for just one thumb stick yet, but also I want to avoid moving too far away from the DS/PSP-era in terms of input capabilities...

CHAPTER 2 of SAW THESE STARS CRASHING - “JUST YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH”

Lucy has become a master at reading Tim’s emotions even after only 7 months, she can read all the tells he lets her see. When he’s stressed, worried, angry, frustrated, afraid - these she knows.

She sees a few of those flicker across his face- grateful for that random college elective in micro-expressions - which led to a 3-day-weekend binge, watching every episode of “Lie to Me” and a documentary on the science behind the show.

But now there are two or three new emotions, new tics to her TO that she instinctively knows. Attraction, lust, and longing or is that last one pining? Attraction and lust, those aren’t surprising. Lucy knows she looks delectable in this dress. But longing? That can’t be right. So she dismisses herself and doubts what she sees. The kernel of disbelief that Tim - her mcsteamy yet hardscrabble TO - could ever want her, much less long for her, is born.

Refocusing on the man in front of her, Lucy smiles and leans forward. “please tell me what your major concerns are about tonight and if I can mitigate the majority of them will you consider staying on this date with me?”

Tim, who has been internally trying to determine the exact color of her eyes, is pulled from his reverie and nods in response to her question.

“Yes, I will stay if you can mitigate my concerns:

1) I am afraid of being seen by someone we know - not because I am embarrassed to be seen with you, but because if a work colleague sees us they might get the wrong idea about us which could impact your career more than mine.

2). I don’t want things between us to get blurry. I am your TO, not your friend or confidant. I know I can turn you into a potentially fantastic cop, so I don’t want you falling for me and making our long days uncomfortable. (Tim smirks playfully at Lucy). But I don’t know how to do “be on a date with you” without blurring the lines of our relationship. We aren’t friends, but I am your boss, it’s not appropriate for me to have non-professional feelings or attitudes towards you.

3) While I definitely want to win this bet, I also do want to practice dating. I haven't been on a date in over 10 years, with someone I am not yet in love with, I do need practice. Maybe dating has changed?

Lucy smiles at Tim, and says, “so you are worried about optics, familiarity, and skills development? Got it. Let’s see what I can do.”

iz's guide to new users of *nix systems

I am sure you have probably heard of this thing called "not windows", after all, why would you be reading this document?

Some of the most popular "not windows"…okay joke is done…free software systems are based on this little thing called "Linux", and for the particularly deranged, one of the BSD projects.

But isn't that for nerds? (ewwww bleaugh, i *hate* nerds)

Not necessarily so. These systems have made grand strides over the years. I personally believe they can make a great alternative desktop for those bent on trying something new.

The purpose of this blog entry is to informally introduce you to some potential options for incoming users. I will give a brief overview of the options presented. and Ultimately, let you decide what you use in the end of the day. That is, if you are willing to put up with my antics.

But why?

Well, this is a sort of loaded question. There are a plethora of reasons one may try out an alternative operating system. I'll try to highlight the big ones:

You may just dislike what you ran before.

You are just curious and your friend won't shut up till you try it. heh, don't knock it if you hadn't tried it, eh?

Your hardware has gotten old. You were considering throwing it in the bin, but damn that keyboard was nice and throwing it out would be disrespectful.

You dislike what you ran before for ethics reasons. Maybe you dislike windows by their controversial decisions regarding whatever the hell Micro$hat's doing nowadays.

Your system was getting slow and you wanted to breathe new life into it. You might have heard these systems are lighter and run more smoothly.

So where should you start?

Honestly, it depends. I'll start by giving an overview of popular options and their derivatives and let you decide.

There are two big "Groups" of systems I will discuss here. Those being the many Linux distributions, and the *BSD projects.

Linux? Please don't lecture me now…

Linux is by far, a very popular base for alternative desktops. But what even is it?

Linux is an operating system kernel started by finnish programmer, Linus Torvalds. What is a kernel? For your purposes, it doesn't really matter. But think of it as the heart of your system. Its the core clock that keeps your system clicking.

But why Linux?

Linux has a very "freedom" focused development model. All users can see, edit, and modify the source code if they wish. But you certainly aren't a developer, so what gives? Well, I'll tell ya:

Linux's culture ensures transparency. Everyone can see the code. You can see what the hell is running on your system if you really wanted to.

This transparency also brings the concept of "many eyes". By the amount of eyes on the project, in theory, its more likely that security patches are implemented more quickly and bad actors are constantly under scrutiny.

Do you trust microsoft and their arguably small team of developers to catch everything? Likely no, and you can't trust Linux developers either. But, you can be more confident in that the project has a much wider set of eyes on it.

This system is by users, for users.

You are interested in Linux, what are the options?

There are three major branches of distribution of Linux.

Remember how I said that Linux is a "kernel"? Yeah, that's not the full system. This is where "distributions" come in. Distributions provide a neatly packaged and pre-configured set of software that runs on top of the Linux kernel. This makes for a simpler set up instead of doing everything manually.

The three biggies I'll discuss here are as follows:

Debian & Debian-based

Arch & Arch-based

RPM-based

Debian & Debian-based

This branch is nicknamed the "granddaddy of all distributions". Its the oldest and most adapted base of Linux Distribution.

Debian strives on keeping things rock hard and stable. This comes at a cost of slightly older software, but damn it will work. and it will work very damn well.

It also is by far the most popular for incoming users.

Of course, you can install Debian itself if you want. Its pretty nice. but there are options based on it that are popular as well.

If going this route, https://debian.org

Popular Linux distributions based on Debian:

Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com)

Peppermint OS (https://peppermintos.com/)

Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com)

Pop!_OS (https://pop.system76.com/)

Arch & Arch-based

Arch is probably the one you heard about the most. Its users love telling you about the fact that they use it.

Arch is considerably more difficult to set up, so fair warning. It can be done, and it makes a very solid system when set up.

Its "Killer Feature" is the "AUR", or "Arch User Repository". This provides a online inventory of user-contributed software that isn't otherwise available. This gives much more flexibility in how you want to use the system, but this software can be of dubious quality, so tread lightly.

Arch is also "Bleeding edge". This means that you get the latest greatest software. This can lead to potentially breaking changes, and sometimes even instability.

If you wanna try out arch "as is" and go through the install manually, you can, https://archlinux.org

Some Popular Arch Based Distributions:

EndeavorOS (https://endeavoros.org)

CachyOS (https://cachyos.org)

RPM-based

RPM stands for "redhat package manager". Redhat has a complex history. It became something called "Fedora Workstation". Lots of history why, but all you really need to know is that the most "vanilla" consumer Linux distribution based on Redhat is Fedora. There is also somthing called Redhat Enterprise Linux, but this is more geared towards corporate use, and frankly it's beyond the scope of this blog entry.

Fedora is known to incorporate newer standards, and be the flaming sword forward in the Linux ecosystem. Their changes can be radical but the ripple effect is well felt.

If you want a vanilla experience: https://tryfedora.org

Some popular RPM-based systems:

OpenSUSE (https://opensuse.org)

Nobara Linux (https://nobaraproject.org)

Mageia (https://mageia.org)

BSD, what's that?

First off, BSD isn't like Linux. Its a very historic operating codebase dating all the way back to the AT&T UNIX in the 1970s. Each of the BSD projects are derivatives of the original "BSD", and are also independently developed from one another. This means that just because something works on one of the BSD projects doesn't necessarily mean it will work the same way, or at all on another.

Each BSD is a fully complete working system out of the box. They aren't just distributed bits of software on top of the kernel, and as such they are more "Homgenous" in nature. This means that the main developer team can work on the core function of the system, and let users add on top what they want with something called the "ports" system.

Like Linux, all of the BSD Projects are fully open source. You can see, edit, and modify the code as you wish. Same benefits apply.

What the hell is ports? Okay, so you as a user may want to have some bit of software that isn't otherwise included in the base system out of the box. This is where ports come in. They let the user easily incorporate software on top of the base utilities and system. There are lots of software all ready made, set up, and waiting for you to install.

I keep saying "BSD projects", what "BSD Projects" are there?

There are three major BSD projects, each with different uses and goals: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, & NetBSD.

The BSDs tend to be a bit more involved to set up for new users, comparable to Arch Linux, but can be really solid systems cos of their incredible stability and sheer simplistic nature.

FreeBSD & FreeBSD-based systems

FreeBSD is the most popular of the three BSD projects. It boasts the fastest speed of the three, and makes for a solid server or even desktop system.

It tends to get the biggest changes made in how things work. Of the BSD's it is comparable to Fedora Workstation in terms of use-case and goals

If you wanted to try FreeBSD, know its more involved to set up than these derivatives (similar to Arch Linux), but here: https://freebsd.org

Some popular noob-friendly FreeBSD-based systems:

GhostBSD (https://ghostbsd.org)

NomadBSD (https://nomadbsd.org)

OpenBSD & OpenBSD-based systems

OpenBSD is very popular among security nuts. It boasts some of the tightest security on a system, albeit with a slight hit in performance. I personally use it and really love it. But its incredibly minimal out of the box, and isn't super beginner friendly.

If you want to "LARP" (live action role play) as me, here: https://openbsd.org

I also wrote this starter guide to OpenBSD with resources I have found over the 2 years I've daily drove it. (link)

I also wrote up my personal reasons I prefer OpenBSD over something like linux.

If new to OpenBSD, there aren't as many big derivatives for new users, but I personally recommend FuguIta, which is a live OpenBSD system that can be ran from a USB drive. It has a nice deskop setup script that walks you through everything. Its a great experience, but it may still be a little scary for new users. Nonetheless, here: https://fuguita.org

NetBSD

NetBSD is the old curmudgeon of the three BSDs. It has incredible support for random hardware that nothing supports anymore. If a piece of hardware can boot an operating system, it can likely run NetBSD. It is the "Doom" of the free software world. So much so, that their motto is: "Of course it runs NetBSD".

NetBSD unfortunately isn't the most popular of the three BSD projects, and as a result, there really isn't a great "user friendly" derivative of it. Here's the website if still interested: https://netbsd.org

Takeways:

So, you read the article, and decided on a system? good.

My tip is simple:

Choose what seems the most enticing to you, and force yourself to use it for a week on a spare machine. Try to make the system work for you.

So:

don't dual boot

don't virtualize it.

Force yourself to use it as much as possible.

You don't want a crutch to fall back on. You won't learn anything that way.

Cheers!

[ad_1] Microwaves are infamous havens for meals splatters and different residue, however it seems they will additionally harbor a slew of micro organism which can be proof against warmth, too.  That’s the conclusion of a stunning new analysis revealed within the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. For the research, researchers swabbed 30 microwaves in households, places of work, and microbiology laboratories, and cultured the outcomes to see what occurred. From there, they analyzed the DNA of the microbes they discovered.  General, the researchers discovered 747 sorts of micro organism, though the categories different by the place the microwaves had been positioned. Residence microwaves contained micro organism like Staphylococcus, which might trigger a variety of infections in folks. The kitchen microwaves additionally had extra microbes than the others, though the microwaves in labs had a extra various vary of micro organism.  Microwave-resistant micro organism in shut contact along with your meals appears like a recipe for catastrophe, however microbiologists say it’s not as scary because it appears at first look. Right here’s what they need you to know.  How can micro organism survive within the microwave? First, it’s vital to go over how microwaves work. These home equipment warmth issues up by vibrating water molecules inside meals, says Donald Schaffner, Ph.D., a microbial danger evaluation and cross contamination skilled at Rutgers College. This produces warmth and usually will kill micro organism that could be lurking inside. However, after all, nothing is ideal.  Residence microwaves warmth gadgets inconsistently, which signifies that some places in meals will obtain larger warmth than others, explains Ahmed Yousef, Ph.D., professor of meals microbiology at The Ohio State College. In consequence, if one thing splatters out of the container you’re heating meals or liquid in, it might comprise micro organism.  The water content material within the meals issues, too. “The drier the meals, the much less more likely to be heated by microwave power,” Yousef says. “Even popcorn has some water contained in the kernels. With out that water, it will not pop within the microwave oven.” Microorganisms that wind up within the microwave often get there from meals you place inside, and will come off with splashes and splatters because the meals cooks, Yousef says. “Many of the splashing will land on the partitions, corners, and even the ceiling of the unit,” he continues. “These places usually are not designed to obtain the microwave power; the middle is the place a lot of the power goes. Due to this fact, microorganisms in these off places would survive for a while.” Sadly, the drier these particles get with time, the more durable it's to kill any micro organism inside, even once they’re repeatedly nuked by a microwave, Yousef says.  Can microwave micro organism contaminate your meals? That’s up for debate. “Definitely, if a microorganism is sitting contained in the oven cavity of a microwave, it’s most unlikely to have the ability to leap from there to get into meals,” Schaffner says. Which means, if the meals you’re heating up is inside a glass container or on a plate, you’re possible OK. However in the event you warmth meals up by putting them immediately onto your microwave’s turntable, this may very well be a possible difficulty.  What can occur in the event you ingest microwave-friendly micro organism? It depends upon the kind of micro organism, which tends to be linked to the kind of meals you’re heating up, Yousef says. “I might fear about spilled milk, soup, or stew, as a result of these nutritious meals are additionally good for rising microorganisms,” he says.  However even when microorganisms find yourself in your meals, Schaffner says you’ll possible be OK. “Each genera of potential foodborne pathogens — Bacillus and Staphylococcus — want excessive ranges of the microorganism to be current earlier than any vital danger to human well being,” he explains.

So, whereas there's a particular ick issue, the small quantity of both micro organism that could be lurking on the partitions of your microwave or on the turntable might be not going to make you sick.  “I’m actually not nervous about getting my meals contaminated from something that may be inside a microwave,” Schaffner provides.  Methods to reduce microwave micro organism in your meals There are some things you are able to do to decrease the danger you’ll have heat-resistant micro organism lurking in your microwave. One is to do your greatest to reduce splatters and spills. “Cowl meals — vent holes could also be wanted — however cowl so the meals doesn’t explode out of the container,” says Janet L. Buffer, M.P.H., R.D., senior institute supervisor on the Institute for Meals Security and Vitamin Safety at The George Washington College. “Protecting meals may also scale back the potential for contamination.”  It’s admittedly a ache, however doing all of your greatest to wash your microwave repeatedly can be vital, Buffer says. “Spills and explosions needs to be cleaned up instantly utilizing heat soapy water and rinsed with clear water,” she says. “An antibacterial cleaner is an additional advantage, however usually, the antimicrobial cleaner have to be utilized after the tools is washed after which rinsed.” Yousef additionally stresses the significance of being on prime of your microwave hygiene. “If we clear spills as quickly as they occur, and do each day cleansing or checking to verify no meals residues are accumulating within the microwave, I see no hurt,” he says.

Quote of the Week

... opaque number sequences (\<GitHub> "issue numbers") are not very informative about what is behind that pointer, and pretending they are is harmful. People could provide, instead, actual reasons for things, which do not require dereferencing random pointers, which thrashes cache.

– Jubilee on rust-internals
