  Create namespace in JavaScript

A namespace (sometimes also called a name scope) is an abstract container or environment created to hold a logical grouping of unique identifiers or symbols (i.e., names). An identifier defined in a namespace is associated only with that namespace. The same identifier can be independently defined in multiple namespaces. That is, the meaning associated with an identifier defined in one namespace may or may not have the same meaning as the same identifier defined in another namespace. Languag...

  Linux Kernel is replacing HTTP link with HTTPS

Linux kernel is in the process of replacing the HTTP links in its source code with HTTPS links. HTTPS is considered more secure than HTTP and can prevent lots of attacks like Man-In-The-Middle attack.  Currently there are more than 150 patches submitted by Linux Kernel developers to replace these HTTP links.  One thing to be noted is this replacement process is not a manual search and replace process. Indeed, some scripts are created to find out these links and try to find whethe...

  Understanding PGO in GoLang 1.20

Background The Go 1.20 version was officially released in February 2023, it introduced the PGO(Profile Guided Optimization) mechanism. The basic principle of PGO can be divided into the following two steps: First, profiling is performed on the program to collect data about the program's runtime and generate a profiling file. When compiling the program, enable the PGO option, and the compiler will optimize the program's performance based on the content in the .pgo file. When compiling a program...

  Guide on recovering data in MySQL

In our daily work, there might be mistakes made which got some data or even databases deleted in MySQL. If this happens on production, it would be a nightmare. In case this happens, normally DBA would jump in to save the world. And they would try to recover the data from the backup if there is any. But if there is no backup, then the show stops. Hence database backup is necessary on production environments to avoid such awkward situation. Also normally in MySQL, binlog should be enabled as well ...

It is Christmas over here, and it is time of giving. So I decided to give something back to the community. I guess this is as old as web programming itself. Trying to create C++ web framework. If you search on the web, you can find dozen of guys that had exactly the same idea. I am not different. For one of the previous projects(discontinued now) I created simple web framework in C++. If you like to hack in C++, here it is. Code is provided as-is, as part of larger application. You can ex...

  New Linux kernel fixes power-saving issues

Greg Kroah-Hartman has released long-term kernel 3.0.20 and stable kernel 3.2.5. Both contain just a single bug fix that allows PCIe power-saving technology ASPM (Active State Power Management) to be used on systems with a BIOS that activates ASPM on some components, but states in the FADT (Fixed ACPI Description Table) consulted by Linux that ASPM is not supported. According to Matthew Garrett, who developed the patch, the change can reduce the power consumption of a Thinkpad X220 by 5&nbs...

  Why localStorage only allows to store string values

localStorage allows data to be stored in browsers across sessions, the data will be there even though the session is expired. It is frequently used to store static data so that they can be loaded when needed. But as per spec, it says that the keys and the values are always strings (note that, as with objects, integer keys will be automatically converted to strings). Why cannot store the object as it is? Take a look at an example: var str = "test"; localStorage.setItem("str", str); cons...

Not to mention that many manufacturers take their time when it comes to downloading the latest security patches. A news blog Android Authority ranked the fastest manufacturers in downloading system updates. Here are the results: LG - 78 days Motorola - 88 days HTC - 95 days S...
