Many will claim that instruction-sets are irrelevant. But instruction-sets matter. They put limits on what kind of optimizations you can easily add to a microprocessor. I have
Lawyers Automate This, So Why Don't Airlines? My working title for this blog post was “Why I’ll Never Fly With easyJet Again”, but that was far too clickbaity. Also it’s probably worth prefixing this post with two things. The first being the caveat that whether or not i ever fly with easyJet again is immaterial
New Attack Lets Hackers Decrypt VoLTE Encryption to Spy on Phone Calls A team of academic researchers—who previously made the headlines earlier this year for uncovering severe security issues in the 4G LTE and 5G networks—today presented a new attack called ‘ReVoLTE,’ that could let remote attackers break the encryption used by VoLTE voice calls and spy on targeted phone
Cloud Spanner: TrueTime and external consistency TrueTime’s benefits for Cloud Spanner TrueTime is a highly available, distributed clock that is provided to applications on all Google servers1. TrueTime enables applications to generate monotonically increasing timestamps: an application can compute a timestamp T that is guaranteed to be greater than any timestamp T’ if T’ finished
Overview of Data Replication in Google Cloud Spanner This will be part 1 of the series where we cover Google’s Spanner system. This is the system responsible for maintaining everything Google handles, from Gmail, to data, you name it. Petabytes of data are handled, replicated, and efficiently delivered to billions of users daily. This page describes how
