Folia, a fork of Minecraft server software Paper, has implemented a regionalized multithreading system as a solution to player capacity limitations faced by traditional servers. The system allows for better CPU resource utilization and improved performance. A test was conducted to analyze Folia’s performance under various conditions on regular hardware and configurations without using absurdly […]
In this article, we dive into the practical implementation of containerization using Docker, Linux namespaces, cgroups, and chroot. While Docker offers many features like container orchestration, networking, and extensive tooling, this article focuses on building a basic container environment from scratch to gain a deeper understanding of how containerization works. We start by setting up […]
Red Hat’s recent decision to put the source code for their Enterprise Linux distribution behind a paywall has caused controversy in the open-source community. The move seems to be aimed at choking out downstream distros like Rocky, Alma, and Oracle Linux, hoping to force users to sign up for a Red Hat subscription. Many CentOS […]
Clang-uml is an automatic C++ to UML class, sequence, package and include diagram generator based on Clang and driven by YAML configuration files. The project was created to easily maintain up-to-date diagrams within a code base, or document legacy code. The configuration file or files define the types and contents of each diagram, can be […]
Physicists have discovered that the mechanism driving iron selenide towards a nematic transition, in which materials shift their structure to unlock new superconducting behaviour, occurs through a collective shift in their orbital energy rather than a coordinated shift in spins. The discovery of superconductivity has the potential to revolutionise the real world in many ways, […]

In this post, the author discusses the relationship between factorials and bases. They note that for every integer n, there is some base b such that n! = bn. Interestingly, b is almost a linear function of n. Using Stirling’s approximation, the author shows that b(n) = (2n/e)^(n+1/2)√π. This observation leads to Gauss’s multiplication formula, […]
This web content humorously summarizes the history of programming languages and their inventors. It pokes fun at the development of languages such as COBOL, FORTRAN, LISP, C++, and Java, among others. Controversial information is not present, but surprising and clever content include the use of punch cards to weave a tapestry in 1801 and the […]
