Internet throttling is when your ISP intentionally slows down your internet speed. Providers temporarily do this to regulate network traffic. Throttling usually results in longer response times, slower download speeds, and buffering. The term throttling originated in the context of engines. Throttling an engine means controlling the amount of gasoline flowing into it. More
Edge computing is a cloud computing paradigm where applications are hosted on many servers across multiple geographic locations so that computation can occur at a location that is close to the specific user to improve response times. More
Server Clustering is the configuration of multiple computer servers into a cluster, which is a group of servers that acts like a single system. A server cluster is usually connected to the network through a device called a Load Balancer, which is a single point of access to the cluster. The Load Balancer receives requests from the network and distributes the […] More
DevOps is a cultural shift in software organizations where the software Dev-elopment team and Op-erations (infrastructure) team are merged to form a single DevOps team. Traditionally, the development and operations teams worked in silos. The purpose of this combined team is to streamline the process of software development, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance to make the […] More
To summarize, bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time. Internet bandwidth is currently measured in units of Mbps, or million bits per second.
To firm up your understanding of bandwidth, imagine that on your home network your family streams video on multiple devices at the same time. As you can imagine, each stream of video requires a lot of data per second to keep the videos playing smoothly. If your streaming on more devices than your allotted bandwidth can support, you will start to hit your limit on how much data can be transferred and per second, and some of the devices will start buffering.
Simply put, process control deals with the science of maintaining the output of a specific industrial process within a desired quality range in an automated way.
A process control system typically involves some sort of feedback loop. The outputs of a process are actively monitored and if they are not within the desired quality range, components of the process, like ingredients, the temperature of materials, or the pressure under which materials are held, are then automatically and appropriately adjusted to get more optimal outputs that are within range.
In software engineering, performance profilers are software development tools designed to analyze the performance of your applications and improve poorly performing sections of code. Profiling is a form of dynamic program analysis that measures performance, including things like: Memory usage Execution time Frequency and duration of function calls Most commonly, profiling is used for program […] More
A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. It specifies how bits are used to encode (or represent) information.
Just like the Roman alphabet (a, b, c, d…) is used differently based on the language (English, French, Spanish, German…), so too are bits (0 and 1) used differently to represent different information based on the file format.
So the byte 10110110 in the file format JPG may represent a color whereas the same byte, 10110110, in a TXT file may represent a letter in a word.
In order for a program to be able to open a file, it must have file format programming in place to convert the bits in the file into information it knows how to use.
I’m fascinated by computers because they are these highly complex machines with millions of transistors that can now fit in that palm of your hand and transfer information all the way across the globe in a matter of seconds. More

Interesting article on how imaginary numbers are relevant in the real world.
Force is an external push or pull on an object that causes it to change speed, direction, or shape. But how is force created? Force is produced by the transfer of energy from one object to another. When a force is applied to an object, energy is transferred to that object, which results in a […] More
Before I walk you through my process of writing technical documents, let me start by saying in general there are three aspects to all written communication: Structure: the way the content is laid out Style: the way it is written, or the language used Content: what you are writing about The following is an outline […] More
