Some of the USENIX Association ATC 2020 papers look amazing! Personal favorites (going by the title + researchers): - Fine-Grained Isolation for Scalable, Dynamic, Multi-tenant Edge Clouds - Peregreen — modular database for efficient storage of historical time series in cloud environments

I wrote a post about a grouping of concurrent algorithms into performance "levels". I use this mental model to more quickly map out the design space and dismiss alternatives that aren't likely to provide a performance boost. travisdowns.github.io/blog/2020/07/0… Feedback warmly welcomed.

I had a look today at 🍃Spring Boot 2.4 and the new actuator endpoint "startup" - that makes it easier to analyze which beans contribute the most to application startup time.

If you've ever wondered how fibers work, you should probably watch Fabio's incredible Scala World talk. If you don't want to watch a video though, I wrote a very long-winded explanation from both practical and conceptual viewpoints: gist.github.com/djspiewak/d993…

✨New educational materials!✨ Today I'm announcing two new, free resources I've written: an 8-lecture course on fundamentals of distributed systems, and a 30-page tutorial on elliptic curve cryptography. martin.kleppmann.com/2020/11/18/dis…

Why is the Apple M1 so fast? - More specialized system on a chip components - Unified memory - Fast integrated SSD - Faster out of order instruction processing with more decoders & bigger buffer, made possible by simpler fixed length RISC instructions debugger.medium.com/why-is-apples-…

An indescribable feeling for an indestructible team. No matter what hardships came our way we made it through. Everyone played fearlessly and it was truly a treat to watch. A game to remember forever. BCCI
