A Periodic Table of System Design Principles

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-23 21:44:58

Towards a Periodic Table of System Design Principles System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary “periodic table” of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal i

Russian airline Aeroflot grounds dozens of flights after cyberattack

Aeroflot, Russia's flag carrier, has suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the cancellation of more than 60 flights and severe delays on additional flights. Although official sources from Russia, like the General Prosecutor's Office, did not attribute the attack to specific threat groups or even origin, responsibility was taken by Ukrainian and Belarusian hacktivist collectives 'Silent Crow' and 'Cyberpartisans BY.' The latter are known for previous attacks on the Belarusian Railway, the cou

Debian plots fix for Y2K38 bug by upgrading to 64-bit timekeeping

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-12-26 15:13:00

The big picture: On January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC, certain Unix-based computer systems will encounter a critical timekeeping failure. Due to a software flaw known as the "Y2K38 bug," 32-bit Unix-like operating systems will reset their internal clocks to the start of the Unix epoch – January 1, 1970 – and begin counting time from there again. While the consequences could be widespread, developers are already working on fixes to ensure systems continue to track time correctly. The Year 2038 p

13 tech trends to watch now, according to McKinsey (and no, it's not all AI)

But technology is a much more expansive phenomenon, encompassing not only all the various tools and gadgets we can clearly see, but also a vast and mostly invisible digital infrastructure of software and code upon which our modern world is based.
