Recently, I decided to give Vim ano...

Optimization Tricks used by the Lockless Memory Allocator
With the releasing of the Lockless Memory Allocator under the GPL version 3.0 license, we can now discuss more of the optimization tricks used inside it. Many of these are things you wouldn't want to use in normal code. However, when speed is the ultimate goal, sometimes we need to break a few rules and use code that is a little sneaky.The SlabA slab is a well-known technique for allocating fixed size objects.

Breakdown Kubernetes Container Runtime
Keeping on learning Kubernetes piece by piece and having a deeper understanding of its advantages, I am no longer shocked at its rapid development and popularity. Though backed by big companies like Google is undoubtedly the push, its design, features, and convenience are the biggest attraction. Most of all, it disintegrates the monolithic Internet system governance and lifecycle and offers a new management method.

How I Learned to Program
Programming is, without a doubt, the most mentally rewarding thing I've ever done. Programming taught me that life should be fun, filled with creativity, and lived to the fullest.
