A Patterns Approach to Designing Distributed Systems and Solving Common Implementation Problems More and more enterprises today are dependent on cloud services from providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. They also use products, such as Kafka and Kubernetes, or databases, such as YugabyteDB, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4j, that are distributed by nature. Because these distributed systems are inherently stateful systems, enterprise architects and developers need to be prepared for all the things that can and will go wrong when data is stored on multiple servers--from process crashes to network delays and unsynchronized clocks. Patterns of Distributed Systems describes a set of patterns that have been observed in mainstream open-source distributed systems. Studying the common problems and the solutions that are embodied by the patterns in this guide will give you a better understanding of how these systems work, as well as a solid foundation in distributed system design principles. Featuring real-world code examples from systems like Kafka and Kubernetes, these patterns and solutions will prepare you to confidently traverse open-source codebases and understand implementations you encounter in the wild. Review the building blocks of consensus algorithms, like Paxos and Raft, for ensuring replica consistency in distributed systems Understand the use of logical timestamps in databases, a fundamental concept for data versioning Explore commonly used partitioning schemes, with an in-depth look at intricacies of two-phase-commit protocol Analyze mechanisms used in implementing cluster coordination tasks, such as group membership, failure detection, and enabling robust cluster coordination Learn techniques for establishing effective network communication between cluster nodes. Along with enterprise architects and data architects, software developers working with cloud services such as Amazon S3, Amazon EKS, and Azure CosmosDB or GCP Cloud Spanner will find this set of patterns to be indispensable.

This practical resource introduces readers to the design of field programmable gate array systems (FPGAs). Techniques and principles that can be applied by the engineer to understand challenges before starting a project are presented. The book provides a framework from which to work and approach development of embedded systems that will give readers a better understanding of the issues at hand and can develop solution which presents lower technical and programmatic risk and a faster time to market. Programmatic and system considerations are introduced, providing an overview of the engineering life cycle when developing an electronic solution from concept to completion. Hardware design architecture is discussed to help develop an architecture to meet the requirements placed upon it, and the trade-offs required to achieve the budget. The FPGA development lifecycle and the inputs and outputs from each stage, including design, test benches, synthesis, mapping, place and route and power estimation, are also presented. Finally, the importance of reliability, why it needs to be considered, the current standards that exist, and the impact of not considering this is explained. Written by experts in the field, this is the first book by engineers in the trenches that presents FPGA design on a practical level.

Přestože Adolf Hitler patří k nejlépe prostudovaným postavám historie, v tom nejdůležitějším, co si myslíme, že o něm víme, se mýlíme. Jak vysvětluje Brendan Simms, Hitler se navzdory všeobecně rozšířenému přesvědčení neobával ani tolik bolševismu, jako hrozby mezinárodního kapitalismu a moci angloamerického světa. Z těchto obav pak pramenil jeho antisemitismus i odhodlání zabezpečit Němcům životní prostor nezbytný pro přežití ve světě ovládaném Britským impériem a Spojenými státy. Brendan Simms nám s odkazem na nové prameny předkládá, jak se po 1. světové válce formovala Hitlerova ideologie. V jejím pojetí měly být nové Německé říši vzorem Spojené státy a Britské impérium, velmoci, které taktéž získaly svůj vliv pomocí rasismu, násilí a přisvojování si cizí půdy. Hitlerovým cílem bylo zajistit podobnou globální budoucnost i Německu, protože jinak se zdálo odsouzené nejen k bezvýznamnosti, ale kvůli emigraci a zahraničním vlivům i k vymření. Nová kniha Brendana Simmse jako první dopodrobna vysvětluje Hitlerovy názory a ukazuje, že i to nejvražednější chování má, tak jako vždy, svůj prapůvod v ideách.

I have him bitched, balloxed and bewildered, for there s a system and a science in taking the piss out of a screw and I m a well-trained man at it. So writes Brendan Behan, poet, writer and literary legend, of the episode that coloured his life. Arrested in Liverpool as an agitator for the IRA, he was tried and sent to reform school. He was sixteen years old. The world he entered was brutal and coldly indifferent. Conditions were primitive, and violence simmered just below the surface. Yet Brendan Behan found something more positive than hate in Borstal: friendship, solidarity and healing flashes of kindness. Extraordinarily vivid, fluent, and moving, this is a superb and unforgettable piece of writing. Borstal Boy was adapted into a film in 2000.

Master cartoonist Charles Burns has never hidden his passion for comic books and pop culture from the 1950 and 1960s. Inspired by the romance, horror, and sci-fi comics of his youth, as well as the 1960s American underground, the author of Black Hole (Fantagraphics, 2017) has created a collection of 80 original comic book covers that, through his own inimitable aesthetic, present an alternate universe of stories that never were, but that you will wish existed. The covers - some with otherworldly titles in alien letterforms, and others that riff on classic genres (Throbbing Hearts, Unwholesome Love) and eras (Drug Buddy, Huss) - each inspire a multitude of interpretations, build entire worlds, and suggest entire narratives that lie within their non-existent guts. This is Burns at his most playful, imaginative, and suggestive, using the format of the comic book to continue to explore many of the themes that run through all his longer-form work - adolescence, metamorphosis, nightmares, and sexuality - and provide a pretext for the creation of some of the most mysterious and bewitching imagery of Burns s incredible career. Kommix is like discovering an entire box of comic books you never knew existed.

Designing Terry Pratchett s Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby. It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life - from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces - and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape. Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry s ever-fertile imagination right into our world.Designing Terry Pratchett s Discworld also outlines the images that we never got to see - the early covers of the great unwritten novels, taken from the world before their time. This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.

Systems Ultra explores how we experience complex systems: the mesh of things, people, and ideas interacting to produce their own patterns and behaviours.What does it mean when a car which runs on code drives dangerously? What does massmarket graphics software tell us about the workplace politics of architects? And, in these human-made systems, which phenomena are designed, and which are emergent? In a world of networked technologies, global supply chains, and supranational regulations, there are growing calls for a new kind of literacy around systems and their ramifications. At the same time, we are often told these systems are impossible to fully comprehend and are far beyond our control.Drawing on field research and artistic practice around the industrial settings of ports, air traffic control, architectural software, payment platforms in adult entertainment, and car crash testing, Georgina Voss argues that complex systems can be approached as sites of revelation around scale, time, materiality, deviance, and breakages. With humour and guile, she tells the story of what ‘systems’ have come to mean, how they have been sold to us, and the real-world consequences of the power that flows through them.Systems Ultra goes beyond narratives of technological exceptionalism to explore how we experience the complex systems which influence our lives, how to understand them more clearly, and, perhaps, how to change them.

As its name implies, the aim of Systems Design and Engineering: Facilitating Multidisciplinary Development Projects is to help systems engineers develop the skills and thought processes needed to successfully develop and implement engineered systems. Such expertise typically does not come through study but from action, hard work, and cooperation. To that end, the authors have chosen a hands-on approach for presenting material rather than concentrating on theory, as so often is the case in a classroom setting.This attractive and accessible text is a mix of theory and practical approach, illustrated with examples that have enough richness and variability to hold your attention. Models are presented for controlling the design, change, and engineering processes. Various aspects of systems engineering and methods providing the big picture at system level are discussed. In some ways, you can think of the book as a compact starterâ ™s kit for systems engineers.Although the authors are recognized experts in academic settings, they attribute much of their success in systems engineering to their own hands-on experiences and want to show you how to achieve that same level of expertise. Simply reading this book or any other book will not suffice for the learning process to become a systems engineer - no book will do that. However, by following the principles laid out in this book, you can develop the necessary skills and expertise to help you start an interesting, challenging, and rewarding career as a systems engineer.

David Stroh has produced an elegant and cogent guide to what works. Research with early learners is showing that children are natural systems thinkers. This book will help to resuscitate these intuitive capabilities and strengthen them in the fire of facing our toughest problems. ⠔Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline Concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning⠔for everyone!Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results.Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert.Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts on complex problems like:ending homelessnessimproving public healthstrengthening educationdesigning a system for early childhood developmentprotecting child welfaredeveloping rural economiesfacilitating the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into societyresolving identity-based conflictsand more!  The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

WINNER OF THE LAKELAND BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2022 For those who know about provincial newspapers, this will be a classic and a gem. Those who don t know will envy what they have missed MELVYN BRAGG Brisk and entertaining. A very readable love letter to a disappearing world, told with verve and tenderness STUART MACONIE, author of Pies and Prejudice Gut-bustingly funny, poignant and packed with astonishing insider information M. W. CRAVEN, author of the award-winning The Puppet Show Local journalism has never seemed more exotic than in this part-memoir, part-ode to that disappearing art, which is as funny as it is endearing . . . Told with a tender fondness, the bonkers, baffling but vital world of local press is paraded with the style that it deserves JONATHAN WHITELAW, Sun Refreshingly honest, engagingly self-deprecating, tremendously funny and more than a little heartbreaking. By far my favourite read of the year so far MIKE WARD, TV critic, Daily Express/Daily Star Local publishers . . . need to hold on to thoughtful, dedicated writers such as Roger Lytollis, or his book will be an epitaph to a centuries-old industry IAN BURRELL, i paper Anyone who has ever worked at a local newspaper, or wondered what it is like, should read this book. Equally hilarious and heartbreaking DOMINIC PONSFORD, media editor at New Statesman Media Group/editor-in-chief at Press Gazette [Lytollis] writes with clarity, comically self-effacing honesty and surprising poignancy . . . [this is] the story of what it is like to love what you do, and be great at it, and to watch it collapse around you in slow motion ROBYN VINTER, Guardian For anyone wondering where their local press went, this is as clear an account of how it was pickpocketed, drained of blood, and left to die as you ll find ED NEEDHAM, Strong Words magazine Panic as Man Burns Crumpets gives a powerful, if not to say dismaying, overview of an industry in terminal decline NAT SEGNIT, Times Literary Supplement The best book I ve read this year, by some margin. Brilliantly written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, but also reflective, candid, poignant and passionate about the importance of journalism. Superb CHRIS MASON, BBC political correspondent/presenter of Radio 4 s Any Questions Many books written by journalists have come across my desk over the course of my time as publisher of Hold the Front Page, but I would say without any hesitation that this one is the best. Not only is it the funniest, and the best-written, it is also the most honest in terms of what it reveals about its author, and more importantly about our craft PAUL LINFORD, Hold the Front PageYou dreamed of being a journalist and the dream has come true. You love working for your local paper . . . although not everything is as you imagined.You embarrass yourself with a range of celebrities, from John Hurt to Jordan. Your best story is The Man With the Pigeon Tattoo .A former colleague interviews President Trump. You urinate in the president of the Mothers Union s garden. Your appearance as a hard-hitting columnist on a BBC talk show does not go well. And being photographed naked is only the second most humiliating thing to happen one infamous afternoon. There are serious stories, such as a mass shooting, a devastating flood, and the search for Madeleine McCann.Meanwhile local papers are dying. Your building is crumbling and your readership is dwindling. Your carefully crafted features are read by fewer people than a story about fancy dress for dogs. Panic as Man Burns Crumpets is the inside story of local newspapers during the past twenty-five years, told in a way that s funny, poignant and revealing.

This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns s reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic Auld Lang Syne, the romantic A Red, Red Rose, and the patriotic Scots What Hae. As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous range - from comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie s Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.

BRENDAN LEONARD NEZNÁŠA BEH. Neznáša ho tak oduševnene, že sa mu razpodarilo zabehnúť 52 maratónových behov za 52 týždňov. Teraz sa s vami podelí ovšetko, čo o tomto športe vie, aby ste ho mohli neznášať spolu s ním.Knižka Neznášam behanie, pridáte sa? je plná múdrostí, humoru, osobitého štýlu, tipov,citátov a obsahuje tiež viac než šesťdesiat názorných diagramov. Mentor, v ktorom sasčasti nájde každý, v nej čitateľovi odovzdá dôležité posolstvo o motivácii.Leonard pri opise búrlivého vzťahu, aký väčšina bežcov s týmto športom má, trafil klinecpo hlavičke. Veľmi dobre vie, aké náročné je vyteperiť sa z gauča; učí nás, ako byť vpohode aj s nepohodlím, a odobrí vám i striedanie behu s chôdzou. Je ochotný sa podeliťo všetko, čo sa naučil. Opakuje si pri tom mantru: „Jednoducho, ľahko, elegantne arýchlo,“ a nezabúda podotknúť, že každé bežiace telo je telo bežca.Leonard navyše ovláda i bežeckú prax – od tréningových metód až po rady pri nezdarochalebo zraneniach. Prináša odpoveď dokonca i na veľkú otázku, ktorú si občas kladúmnohí: Prečo behám? Je to jednoduché. Beh nám pomáha porozumieť záväzku,vybudovať si trpezlivosť, objaviť sebadisciplínu, nájsť psychickú odolnosť a dokázať sebesamým, že zvládneme aj niečo náročné. V neposlednom rade tiež pomôže aj spáliť toschrúmané extra veľké balenie čipsov.

Bonnie a Clyde v uneseném letadle. Willie Roger Holder a Catherine Marie Kerkowová donutili posádku přeletět Atlantik a přistát i s výkupným v Alžírsku, aby později byli oslavováni francouzskými intelektuály v čele s Jean-Paul Sartrem. Čin frustrovaného veterána z vietnamské války a jeho krásné přítelkyně nebyl ojedinělý, mezi lety 1961 a 1973 bychom ve Spojených státech napočítali více než sto padesát únosů. Reportér Brendan I. Koerner poskládal mozaiku těch nejtypičtějších i nejbizarnějších. Nezůstává ale jen u mistrných popisů různých motivací únosců a jejich proměnlivé úspěšnosti. Sleduje také to, jak zásadně se proměnila letecká doprava. Nastoupit do letadla dnes automaticky znamená řadu bezpečnostních kontrol, přísná pravidla pro příruční zavazadla a zdlouhavé čekání. Nic z toho v šedesátých letech nebylo běžné. Zejména na americké půdě, kde jsou vzdálenosti velké, to byl rychlý - i když drahý - dopravní prostředek, kde bylo možné si koupit letenku na poslední chvíli a přiběhnout na letiště půl hodiny před odletem. Letecké společnosti nechtěly ohrozit své zákazníky ani posádku a vyhověly únoscům ve všem - od výše výkupného po dopravu do zvolené destinace. I tady Koerner zdařile popisuje, jak se střetly ekonomické a bezpečnostní zájmy. Agenti FBI měli na celou věc jiný názor než aerolinky, ale trvalo dlouho, než s nimi kapitáni letadel začali spolupracovat. Kniha Nebe patří nám je v neposlední řadě průvodcem po tehdejší geopolitické situaci i náladách v americké společnosti šedesátých a sedmdesátých let: Kam unesená letadla mířila? Proč Francie nechtěla vydat Holdera a Kerkowovou? A jaká byla motivace únosců?
