Layered software architectures adhere to the Dependency Rule: Source code in a lower-level layer can make use of code in higher-level layers, but never vice versa. Control flow, however, goes in both directions. How is this possible, given that higher-level code must not know any...
So you have built a robotic arm? Great, let's write some Go to make it serve your five o'clock tea. Sounds simple enough. Or is it?
Artificial Neural Networks have gained attention during the recent years, driven by advances in deep learning. But what is an Artificial Neural Network and what is it made of? Meet the perceptron.
This is the second (and, for the time being, the last) article about messaging and Mangos. After doing first steps with the Pair protocol, we now look into a slightly more complex protocol, the Publisher-Subscriber (or PubSub) protocol.
The next problem in “The Little Book of Semaphores” is called “the senate bus problem” and reads as follows: Riders come to a bus stop and wait for a bus. When the bus arrives, all the waiting riders invoke boardBus, but anyone who arrives while the bus i...
Consider two processes that need to exchange commands and data. You want to connect them in a way that is straightforward, efficient, and reliable. How would you do that? Enter Message Queues.
The author of “The Little Book of Semaphores” wrote this week’s problem inspired by real life events at Colby College. The problem’s statement is the following: The following synchronization constraints apply to students and the Dean of Students: Any num...
