Advantages and disadvantages of a monorepoIanDavidson56
A monorepo is a single repository that contains all code for a company, team, or product rather than having separate repositories. Key advantages of a monorepo include consistency across language versions, dependencies, and code style which makes upgrades and refactors easier. However, a monorepo also has disadvantages such as a more complex build process, inability to version internal libraries, and difficulty searching and managing the large codebase. While a monorepo provides benefits like easy code reuse and setup, the tradeoff is less flexibility and potential slowdowns from the large size.
A talk describing our experiences building monorepo at Pinterest.
This talk was presented at Mobile Summit'18 held at CapitalOne in SF on May 22, 2018.
This document discusses monorepos, which are repositories that contain the code for multiple projects. Some benefits of monorepos include simplified dependency management, easier code sharing between projects, and having a single place to manage issues. Potential downsides include that the codebase can appear more intimidating and larger repositories may face performance issues. Several monorepo solutions are mentioned, including Buck, Bazel, Pants, and Lerna, each suited for different languages and project sizes. Lerna terminology and an introductory example are also covered.

Introductory session at the 2013 OpenZFS Developer Summit, November 18 2013
http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit
This document discusses extending the capabilities of the web by exposing low-level application programming interfaces (APIs). It argues that browser vendors should lead this effort by first implementing proof-of-concepts based on low-level APIs, then creating specifications based on feedback. This would allow web developers to build on these foundations and extend the web in new ways. As an example, the document discusses how the author implemented the Fetch API across Node.js and browsers to allow truly isomorphic code. It presents a vision of compounding these efforts to eventually implement higher-level APIs like XMLHttpRequest on top of lower-level APIs, extending the capabilities of the web platform.
This document discusses how exposing low-level capabilities of the web platform can allow developers to extend it forward. It argues that technologies like ServiceWorker, Fetch, Cache, and others provide low-level APIs that explain existing features like HTML and CSS. This allows authors to understand and replicate them. It provides examples of how these low-level APIs can be used for offline applications and beyond. The document advocates wrapping these APIs in new libraries and frameworks to build the next generation of the web.

Chrome OS is an operating system developed by Google that is based on the Linux kernel. It is designed to be lightweight and run web applications from the cloud. Some key points:
- Chrome OS focuses on web-based applications and stores all data in the cloud rather than locally. This allows it to boot very quickly and be secure since losing the physical device does not mean losing data.
- The interface is web-based and integrates with Google services. Applications can be accessed through the Google Chrome Web Store.
- It is open source and designed to be low cost to run on low-powered hardware like netbooks given its lightweight and cloud-focused nature. Regular updates also keep it secure.
Google Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system built on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for web applications and web browsing. It is based on the Google Chrome browser and aims to provide a fast, simple, and secure computing experience. Key features include booting in seconds, requiring only a Google login, automatic updates, and storing all data in the cloud to avoid data loss. Applications are web-based and run in a sandbox for security. While hardware-dependent currently, Chrome OS is open source and Google is working with OEMs to make Chrome OS machines available later this year.
Introduction to google chromebooks and chromeboxes presentation tech-talkRoel Palmaers
Chromebooks are designed as internet appliances that focus on running the Chrome web browser. They have limited local storage and processing capabilities compared to traditional computers, but updates are handled automatically to keep the system secure and stable. Chromebooks can be easily shared between users since data is stored in the cloud and the systems cannot be easily reconfigured. However, putting a Chromebook in developer mode allows more advanced users to utilize the underlying Linux system and add additional software.
Chrome OS is an operating system developed by Google that uses the Google Chrome browser as its primary interface. It is built on the Linux kernel and primarily supports web applications. Chrome OS is designed to be fast, secure, and simple to use. It boots quickly, resumes from sleep instantly, and runs all web pages and apps in isolated sandboxes for security. As a browser-based OS, Chrome OS provides speed, automatic updates, and easy access to files and apps stored online through the cloud. However, it is currently hardware dependent and does not support applications like Microsoft Office without web versions.
This is the story of the glory and struggle of bringing a high quality YouTube experience to the mobile web. Once upon a time there was a web developer who wanted to play videos on the web. So he filmed a cat and wrote a Flash and a HTML5 player. He spent many hours making it work on his favorite desktop browsers and even the one his grandfather still used. People could watch his cat video, he smiled, and the world was good. Then one day someone put a browser in a phone and soon there were many phones with many different browsers. This new set of environments were even harder to develop for and had a slew of new terrifying bugs. The web developer was miserable knowing people couldn’t watch his cat video. With much time and effort he figured out many of the secrets needed to combat the evils of the different mobile platforms. Once again people could watch his cat video, he smiled, and the world was good. The end.
Strategies for developing and deploying your embedded applications and imagesMender.io

This document discusses Stashaway, a tool for organizing digital media by moving files to remote cloud storage. It aims to address issues with local storage becoming expensive and cloud storage becoming popular, requiring data to move from local to remote locations. The document outlines Stashaway's features like uploading files to cloud storage, listing and streaming files remotely, and planned features like tagging and duplicate detection. It provides a development timeline starting with research, an initial coding phase, then beta testing and iterations. The current phase involves choosing a programming language (leaning toward C) and addressing technical challenges like encryption and distribution.
This document discusses post-mortem debugging in embedded Linux systems. Post-mortem debugging involves analyzing system state data collected after a crash to investigate the cause. Key data includes RAM regions, CPU states, and peripheral states. Challenges include retrieving this data without modifying critical state information and analyzing it using tools that understand the OS and CPU architecture. Example tools discussed are Lauterbach TRACE32 and Red Hat Crash, which can analyze kernel crashes, IPC issues, deadlocks, and watchdog errors.
This presentation by Anton Bondarenko (Senior Software Engineer/Architect, Bosch Sensortec, Sweden) was delivered at GlobalLogic Kharkiv Embedded Conference 2019 on July 7, 2019.
Live debugging in Linux is a good method during development but it’s not always possible. Alternative is post mortem debugging. Post mortem analyze includes investigations performed using system snapshot. There are different tools supporting this approach. ‘Crash’ tool is one of them and we will review it in details during Anton’s speech. The talk provided information about different aspects of post mortem analyze like collection, processing and comparison to other methods.

Android As a Server- Building Android for the Cloud (AnDevCon SF 2013)Ron Munitz
My session in AnDevcon, November 2011, Burlingame, CA.
In the cloud era, most software projects have shifted from asking "What hardware architecture should be chosen for my back-end?" to "Which cloud configuration should be used for my back-end?" Bringing up a cloud server has become an obvious choice for any Linux or Windows-based deployment. As Android emerges as the new Embedded Linux for a growing number of industries, it only makes sense to consider its cloud application as a server.
In this class, we will discuss why and how Android can be brought on the cloud system, and on any cloud infrastructure, using AWS (Amazon Web Services) as an example.

This document provides an overview of Android ROM cooking and embedded build systems. It defines key terms like ROM, cross-compilation, and host/target systems. It discusses Android's partition layout and build system. It also provides a brief history of Android from 2002-2015 and statistics on platform versions and screen sizes/densities from Android developer dashboards.
This document discusses security issues with custom Android ROMs. It begins by introducing custom ROMs and why they warrant security reviews. It then analyzes several practices in custom ROMs that could compromise security, such as enabling USB debugging, running ADB in root mode, loose permissions on the system partition, and allowing installation from unknown sources. The document demonstrates a proof-of-concept data theft tool and recommends users be wary of development processes and ask questions when using custom ROMs. It concludes with contact information for the author.
This paper attempts to look behind the wheels of android and keeping special focus on custom rom’s and basically check for security misconfiguration’s which could yield to device compromise, which may result in malware infection or data theft.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
Semantic Cultivators : The Critical Future Role to Enable AIartmondano

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
