Deep dive into Go Memory Management. This post gives an overview of Physical memory, Virtual memory, how Operating System interacts with hardware to run applications.

castero is a command line podcast client. It's designed to be easy to use and targeted at users who want lightweight command line applications instead of bloated GUI-based alternatives.

I originally wrote this paper in 1981 for a course in writing research papers at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. It was written on a DEC PDP-11/70 computer using the RUNOFF text formatting program, and having it on line from the beginning made it easy to save an electronic copy for future use. The instructor, Dr. Peter Parshall (of "Peter Parshall picked apart my perfect paper" fame), awarded the grade of A- to my work.

There are a lot of resources out there that talk about salary negotiation but many tend to skew a bit theoretical. In my experience, one of the hardest things about negotiating your salary is knowing what to say in tough, ambiguous situations with a power balance that's not in your favor. What's OK?

Without question, Linux was created by brilliant programmers who employed good computer science knowledge.

Let the Linux programmers whose names you know share the books that got them started and the technology references they recommend for today's developers. How many of them have you read?

An in-depth look into how two leading time-series databases stack up against another.

The purpose of this month's article is to bring once more to the public consciousness some work of Sir Roger Penrose, namely "On the Cohomology of Impossible Figures," which appeared in Structural Topology 17 (1961) pp. 11-16 and was reprinted in Leonardo 25, Nos 3/4 (1992) and then as Chapter 4 of The Visual Mind, Michele Emmer, ed., MIT Press, 1993.

By now, you have likely heard words like "bitcoin" and "blockchain," perhaps even "Ethereum," and wondered what they all mean.

Do they refer to something useful, and if so, how would you go about using it?

This article is intended to put meaning behind these words and others, by highlighting one instance of the technology behind the concepts.

Osquery is an open source Operating System monitoring, query, and analytics software. Created by Facebook, it exposes an operating system as a high-performance relational database that can be queried using SQL-based queries.

Osquery is a multi-platform software, can be installed on Linux, Windows, MacOS, and FreeBSD. Osquery allows us to explore the operating system profile, performance, security and many more metrics by using SQL-based queries.

The alt is a command line tool that helps you to switch between different versions of commands in Unix-like systems. It is a simple, free, open source tool written in Rust programming language.
