A well-planned multi cloud strategy can seriously upgrade your business’s tech game, making you more agile. They can also bolster uptime and limit latency issues or potential downtimes. Thinking about going multi-cloud? And then there’s the big decision of where to host your workloads—public clouds, private clouds, or a mix.

Apple Corporate is at fault, not Open Source engineers or the line managers who support them. Consistent improvement is the name of the game, and it can still have positive impacts, particularly as users lean on the system more heavily over time. Audio Worklets are a fundamental enabler for rich media and games on the web.

From the papers overview: Hive is a formalisation, extension and optimization of what is typically known as a ‘bucket array’ or ‘object pool’ container in game programming circles. This does not stop it being used in many open-source projects due to this feature and its splice operations.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

It was a battle of not only proprietary vs open source but also static vs dynamic. You could create and update blog posts, all content was straight HTML — open-source WYSIWYG editors weren’t available at the time, and Markdown didn’t come about until 2004. We can see all the bones of modern Jamstack CMSs here.

Integrated browsers present a model that, if allowed to flourish, pose a threat to the fundamentals of Apple and Google's whale-based, dopamine fueled, "casual" gaming monetisation rackets. Platforms played these user-and-developer hostile games in mobile's early days to dig a moat of OS-exclusive apps.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

Rendering text is important (think login screens), but there's no product without low-latency, adaptive codecs, networking, and camera/microphone access. This is playing out now with video conferencing, screen-sharing , and streamed gaming (e.g. You're usually better off tackling latency with aggressive performance budgeting. ??.

This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. It may appear that the game is not worth the candle. But who would prefer community-driven open-source products to the one owned by a corporate monster?

A learning organization, disaster recovery testing, game days, and chaos engineering tools are all important components of a continuously resilient system. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better.
