In defence of swap: common misconceptions (2018)

In defence of swap: common misconceptions This post is also available in Japanese, Chinese, and Russian. tl;dr: Having swap is a reasonably important part of a well functioning system. Without it, sane memory management becomes harder to achieve. Swap is not generally about getting emergency memory, it's about making memory reclamation egalitarian and efficient. In fact, using it as "emergency memory" is generally actively harmful. Disabling swap does not prevent disk I/O from becoming a prob

Would You Use a Mouse With a Fake ‘Click?’

Logitech’s race to offer an esports mouse with the fastest response time has led us to a mouse that’s completely different than any I’ve used before. Mice have relied on the same type of microswitches for their button clicks for so long, it’s hard to imagine what would be next. So I didn’t know what to think when I sat down in front of the $180 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse that doesn’t “click” in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses haptics to offer a facsimile of the classic click sen

Waymo will start driving autonomously there in the "coming months," it said in a blog post, before opening to the public next year. Riders will hail self-driving vehicles through the Waymo app (formerly Waymo One) and will eventually have the op

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A

The Value of Bringing a Telephoto Lens
