We are introducing a new metric – real-time server fleet utilization effectiveness —- as part of the RETINAS initiative to help reduce
emissions and achieve net zero emissions across our value chain in 2030. This new metric allows us to measure server resource usage
(e.g., compute, storage) and efficiency in our large-scale data center server fleet in near real-time.
Privacy Aware Infrastructure (PAI) offers efficient and reliable first-class privacy constructs embedded in Meta infrastructure to
address complex privacy issues. For example, we built Policy Zones that apply across our infrastructure to address restrictions on
data, such as using it only for allowed purposes, providing strong guarantees for limiting the purposes of its processing.
From your perspective as a user, an “encrypted messenger” ensures that each time you start a conversation, your messages will only be readable by the folks you intend to speak with… Telegram clearly fails to meet this stronger definition for a simple reason: it does not end-to-end encrypt conversations by default. If you want to use end-to-end encryption in Telegram, you must manually activate an optional end-to-end encryption feature called “Secret Chats” for every single private conversation you want to have.
While the much celebrated ideal of a “full stack engineer” is valuable, in deep and complex systems it’s often even more valuable to create cohorts of experts who can collaborate and get really creative across the entire stack and all their individual areas of depth.
Fitness functions are a powerful automated governance technique we’ve applied to data products within the context of a Data Mesh. Since data products serve as the foundational building blocks (architectural quanta) of a data mesh, ensuring robust governance around them significantly increases the chances of a successful data mesh transformation.
In conclusion, prototyping new schedulers in user-space using Rust and then re-implementing them in BPF can be an effective workflow for designing new specialized schedulers.
A discussion of the evolution of the database industry over the last half century, and why the relational database concepts introduced by E. F. Codd have proven so resilient over several decades.
More than 100K sites impacted by Polyfill supply chain attack – An important way to protect your supply chain is to lock your dependency to a specific version + hash (e.g. SHA256). This way the dependency can’t be backdoored without you detecting it.
