How To Test If We’re Living In A Computer Simulation
Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, planets and ultimately life to develop? The expansive force of the universe, dark energy, for example, is much weaker than theory suggests …
Faster Jetpack Compose View Interop With App Startup And Baseline Profile
Jetpack Compose is designed to be interoperable with an existing View-based app. This enables you to take an incremental approach to migrating your existing app’s UI to Compose.

Nonprogrammers Are Building More Of The World’s Software – A Computer Scientist Explains ‘No-Code’
Traditional computer programming has a steep learning curve that requires learning a programming language, for example C/C++, Java or Python, just to build a simple application such as a calculator or Tic-tac-toe game. Programming also requires substantial debugging skills, which easily frustrates new learners. The study time, effort and experience needed often stop nonprogrammers from …
Cybercrime Insurance Is Making The Ransomware Problem Worse
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was another outbreak in cyberspace: a digital epidemic driven by ransomware. Several organisations worldwide fell victim to cyber-extortionists who stole data either to sell to other criminals or held it as a ransom for a profit. The sheer number of attacks indicates that cyber security and anti-ransomware defences did not …
How To Validate Kubernetes YAML Files
Kubernetes has taken center stage in how we now manage our containerized applications. As a result, many conventions to define our Kubernetes apps exist, including structures such as YAML, JSON, INI, and more. This leaves us to consider what is the best strategy to follow for our applications. Additionally, we must then also ask how …
Build Limitless Workloads On BigQuery: New Features Beyond SQL
Our mission at Google Cloud is to help our customers fuel data driven transformations. As a step towards this, BigQuery is removing its limit as a SQL-only interface and providing new developer extensions for workloads that require programming beyond SQL. These flexible programming extensions are all offered without the limitations of running virtual servers.In the …
Murre – The Lightweight K8s Metrics Monitoring Tool
Meet Murre. Murre is an on-demand, scaleable source of container resource metrics for Kubernetes. Murre fetches CPU & memory resource metrics directly from the kubelet on each K8s Node and enriches the resources with the relevant K8s requests and limits from each PodSpec. Minimalism. Yeah, big word I know, but bear with me here. Basically, …
How To Monitor Kubernetes K3s Using Telegraf And InfluxDB Cloud
Lightweight Kubernetes, known as K3s, is an installation of Kubernetes half the size in terms of memory footprint. Do you need to monitor your nodes running K3s to know the status of your cluster? Do you also need to know how your pods perform, the resources they consume, as well as network traffic? In this article, …
