Уважаемые читатели. Как вы заметили, это канал о технологиях, интернете, бизнесе, цифровой экономике и обществе. Политика здесь появляется только в контексте технологий. Но в связи с эскалацией агрессии России против Украины считаю нужным обозначить свою…

CatOps exists for almost five years already as a non-profit hobby project. Yes, at some point we were advertising some technical events here, but we never took money for that.

In my opinion, keeping it independent of ad money is what makes all the fun. I'll be honest with you, from time to time I get ideas of starting a Patreon or something similar, but each time it turns out to be too complicated.

However, there is a way to support CatOps financially! Even though this is an indirect support!

Consider subscribing to the Patreon page of the "Come Back Alive" Foundation or you can, of course, donate directly. They have all the details on their website. Unfortunately, not all the information on the website is translated to English, but the main things are there.

This Foundation supports Ukrainian army as well as establish re-integration programs for the veterans.

By supporting people, who take care of us, you empower us in doing our day-to-day jobs and providing some platform engineering content here.

With love ??

This is a rare good example of rewriting something in Rust that seems to be justifiable https://pngquant.org/rust.html

Recently I've got a few interns to look after and mentor, so one of them asked for some advice on improving their system design skills.
So I gave a long monolog on digging through the layers of abstractions and being curious and genuinely understanding how things work. After it, I suggested them to read a "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" book and also prepared a shortlist of talks that can work as conversation starter or places from where you can start digging deeper.
Here is the list:

I have a great article for you about the challenges and problems of writing software for real-time audio generation.
https://glowcoil.com/posts/basedrop/

That's where we cannot do without low-level programming languages ​​with absolute control over what exactly will happen at any moment. Because you can't allow any unpredictable (non-constant) operations in the thread that generates the audio, it turns out that you can't do I/O, allocate or free memory, use mutexes or blocking queues to synchronize threads, etc.
With such restrictions, even the use of Rust looks too high-level because its RAII can play a bad joke on you and start to free some buffers when they lose their owner. So it turns out that even with Rust, you may, in special cases, have a memory leak or OOM.

It seems that for such software Zig with its explicit use of allocators and explicit defer, would be a little more convenient, but also not without difficulties.
