No More Blue Fridays: It used to be that reliability
was achieved by moving code out of kernel mode and into user mode. eBPF suggests an alternative: allow code to run in kernel
mode, but in a sandbox.
rr aspires to be your primary C/C++ debugging tool for Linux, replacing — well, enhancing — gdb. You record a failure once, then debug the recording, deterministically, as many times as you want. The same execution is replayed every time.
One of the exciting new features in Bazel 7.2 is support for the Bazel Output Service which allows Bazel to lazily materialize outputs when you access them with normal filesystem operations. This allows you to maintain visibility to the entire output tree while still saving network bandwidth.
Maestro is a general-purpose, horizontally scalable workflow orchestrator designed to manage large-scale workflows such as data pipelines and machine learning model training pipelines. It oversees the entire lifecycle of a workflow, from start to finish, including retries, queuing, task distribution to compute engines, etc.
Monocultures are inherently fragile and an high-value attack target. This applies whether you’re talking about Windows running 95%+ of desktops, CrowdStrike running 50%+ of Fortune 500 computers, or all Cavendish bananas being genetic clones of each other – an attack on one can easily become an attack on all. Sometimes it pays to not make the same choice as everyone else. Think security through diversity.
All automatic software deployment processes must always use progressive deployment with metric-based success gates and a straightforward, regularly-tested rollback process. If you can’t meet these requirements, you don’t deserve the ability to deploy your software automatically.
