This is Part Three of a three-part series on Inclusion Done Right. Part One talked about the experience of employees, from engineers to CEOs, of working at a company where inclusion is part of the culture. Part Two discussed the specific actions the companies take to create a feeling of inclusion. This part will discuss the hiring process, and how to hire not just for diversity, but for inclusion.
Aubrey Blanche, Atlassian global head of diversity and inclusion at Atlassian defines the distinction between the two. “Diversity is getting an invite to the party, inclusion is being glad to be there.”
On the eve of Computex, Taiwan’s big showpiece event where PC makers roll out the latest and best implementations of Intel CPUs, mobile rival ARM is announcing its own big news with the unveiling of a new generation of ARM CPUs and GPUs. Official today, the ARM Cortex-A75 is the new flagship-tier mobile processor design, with a claimed 22 percent improvement in performance over the incumbent A73. It’s joined by the new Cortex-A55, which has the highest power efficiency of any mid-range CPU ARM’s ever designed, and the Mali-G72 graphics processor, which also comes with a 25 percent improvement in efficiency relative to its predecessor G71.
The efficiency improvements are evolutionary and predictable, but the revolutionary aspects of this new lineup relate to artificial intelligence: this is the first set of processing components designed specifically to tackle the challenges of onboard AI and machine learning. Plus, last year’s updates to improve performance in the power-hugry tasks of augmented and virtual reality are being extended and elaborated.

This article series previews the new Containers Fundamentals training course from The Linux Foundation, which is designed for those who are new to container technologies. In previous excerpts, we talked about what containers are and what they’re not and explained a little of their history. In this last post of the series, we will look at the building blocks for containers, specifically, namespaces, control groups, and UnionFS.
Namespace is a feature of the Linux kernel, which isolates and virtualizes system resources for a process, so that each process gets its own resource, like its own IP address, hostname, etc. System resources that can be virtualized are: mount [mnt], process ID [PID], network [net], Interprocess Communication [IPC], hostnames [UTS], and users [User IDs].
Using the namespace feature of the Linux kernel, we can isolate one process from another. The container is nothing but a process for the kernel, so we isolate each container using different namespaces.
Another important feature that enables containerization is control groups. With control groups, we can limit, account, and isolate the resource users like CPU, memory, disk, network, etc. And, with UnionFS, we can transparently overlay two or more directories and implement a layered approach for containers.
You can get more details in the sample course video below, presented by Neependra Khare (@neependra), Founder and Principal Consultant at CloudYuga, Docker Captain, and author of the Docker Cookbook.
Atomic Rules has been providing Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design services and interconnection network solutions since 2008. In April, they joined The Linux Foundation to further their commitment to open source and to support and participate in the DPDK project, which provides a programming framework that enables faster development of high-speed data packet networking applications.
Additionally, Atomic Rules recently released Arkville, a DPDK-aware tool that provides a high-throughput connection, or conduit, between FPGA hardware and GPP (general purpose processor) software. According to the company, Arkville was designed with the specific goal of accelerating and empowering DPDK.
In this interview, Shep Siegel, founder of Atomic Rules, provides more information about the company’s products and services.
Linux.com: What does Atomic Rules do?
Shep Siegel: Atomic Rules have been providing FPGA design services since 2008. We’re experts in reconfigurable computing with FPGAs and provide our clients with effective solutions to problems involving interconnection networks and reconfigurable computing. Our practice employs scalable, rule-based methods to tackle complex concurrency among heterogeneous processors.
Shep Siegel, Founder of Atomic Rules
In 2014, we began augmenting services with IP Core products. Our first product was a UDP Offload Engine operating at 10, 25, 40, 50, 100 or 400 GbE. Today, we are launching a new product named Arkville, which is a DPDK-aware FPGA/GPP data mover that helps offload server cycles to FPGA gates. It is this new product that made it important for us to be part of the Linux Foundation.
How and why do you use Linux and open source?
Siegel: Linux and open source democratize the development process through API, ABI, and Interface standardization. We love the idea of common, open interfaces where everyone can then compete on quality of implementation.
Why did you join The Linux Foundation and the DPDK project?
Siegel:The Linux Foundation amplifies the openness and legitimacy of over a decade of DPDK development. By becoming a Linux Foundation member, our contributions will help the community flourish.
What interesting or innovative trends in your industry are you witnessing and what role do Linux and open source play in them?
Siegel: Linux and open source have catalyzed architectural innovation in the form of heterogeneous compute and communication. The frontiers once dividing the main families of processing devices available to systems architects (FPGA, DSP, GPP, etc.) are getting easier to cross, thanks to an expanding ecosystem of communication bridges allowing data movement from one type of processor to another more easily, at faster line rate, and with less latency.
How is your company participating in that innovation?
Siegel:By introducing Arkville, Atomic Rules is enabling Linux DPDK applications that seek acceleration in a software-first fashion to offload server cycles to FPGA gates. This allows project managers to bring their product to market faster and focus on differentiating their product by not having to re-invent a GPP/FPGA packet mover.
How has participating in the Linux and open source communities changed your company?
Siegel: It has reinforced one of our guiding aphorisms, “Interface before Implementation”!
Is there anything else important or upcoming that you’d like to share?
Siegel: Our Arkville launch brings five man-years of DPDK-first, software-first passion to market. If Linux kernel bypass matters to you, and if you are looking for a solution to offload server cycles to FPGA gates, please give it a look and tell us what you think!
The industry has had more than two decades to sort out interoperability problems between most on-premise systems. But that is, unfortunately, not the case for cloud-based systems.
Yet, a solution exists for IAM’s identity crisis: SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management), an open standard and REST API that defines schema and protocol so that enterprises can now manage identities in a consistent and uniform way. Despite this, widespread adoption of SCIM by SaaS and IAM vendors has yet to occur, with many preferring to stick with the familiar and build their custom APIs — forcing the average enterprise to manage identities in their cloud applications with time-consuming custom coding.
In this article, I’ll discuss why the industry needs to discard the DIY mindset, embrace open standards, and the importance of interoperability and collaboration in the digital economy.
A dev team’s branch management strategy can have a significant impact on the rate at which it can release high-quality software. In this article we’ll explore the pros and cons of several different approaches for enabling multiple concurrent streams of dev work in the same codebase. We’ll see that two major factors—the cost of merge conflicts and the ability to release streams of work independently—are often in tension, but that Feature Flags provide a way to resolve that tension.
Merge Conflicts
New products start off as a small codebase, usually only being worked on by a handful of developers. This situation doesn’t call for much formal process. However, even when a team consists of just two devs, it’s still preferable to avoid working on the same files at the same time to avoid merge conflicts.
As the Tech industry is suffering from a huge lack of talent, and, according to US CTO Megan Smith, heading toward 1 million unfilled IT jobs in the next decade. We need to inspire more youth toward a career in Software Engineering. That’s why we at Holberton decided to launch a 3-week Summer Coding Camp for 15 to 18 years old. Students will not attend class but will be building their first website, following our progressive education methodology focusing on learning by doing.
Tech companies will tour their offices to students, in addition to collaborating with current Holberton students and mentors. Among our mentors is Lamia Himdach, also ChickTech’s San Francisco Bay Area Co-Director, a non-profit organizing fun and hands-on tech events that encourage girls to join the Tech industry.
“I see a lot of Silicon Valley youth, having ironically no clue what Software is. Their friends and family not working in the industry coupled to the absence of computer science classes at their school makes it impossible for them to even think about doing Software for a living.”
GRAMMY award-winning artist NE-YO is also part of the mentor team, he recently joined the school’s Board of Trustees to help attract underrepresented groups to software engineering. NE-YO will be reviewing students progress personally. Following Holberton’s mission to make high quality education accessible to the most, the 3-week camp is totally free and can even accommodate for those who cannot afford transportation and food.
The coding camp will cover the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript. All exercises will be done on Ubuntu and their code will be hosted on Github, home of many open source initiatives. Students will learn to build their first website and personalize it to their taste. Mentors from Silicon Valley Tech companies will come to the school to coach them and give feedback on their performance during the demo day.
We are looking forward to the kid’s reaction to the open source world, that is so powerful yet free. We will share their feelings and experiences and more in a later camp wrap-up article.
The camp starts on June 26th and applications are now open!
Kotlin is a statically typed programming language from JetBrains. It is fully ‘inter-operable’ with Java (meaning you can use Java frameworks and even mix commands from both in your code) and comes with no limitations. Android developers have actually been using Kotlin for some time already via a plugin and some popular apps on the Play Store (like Basecamp) were reportedly built solely using Kotlin. Now though, as of the forthcoming Android Studio 3.0, it will be bundled-in and supported out-of-the-box.
Kotlin allows us to remove significant amounts of boilerplate
So why would you choose to use Kotlin rather than Java? Well the main reason is that it can make your life a little easier in a number of instances. Kotlin eliminates null references for example and it doesn’t have checked exceptions
The UNIX/Linux server security is challenging because these servers are at a risk of getting compromised at any point of time by the attackers. In today’s enterprise environment, the UNIX and Linux servers are growing popular. With their increased popularity, these servers have become the primary target of the attackers for security breaches. There have been numerous cases of harmful external security threats where the attackers have gained access to these servers; UNIX and Linux, through the Internet. The largest security threat to UNIX/Linux server is internal, not external. Therefore, it is must for the enterprises to improve their UNIX/Linux server security, so that comprising server becomes complicated for the hackers.
