The Seahorses (Hippocampus) are a type of underwater fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae. They breathe through gills and swish in the waters with their dorsal fins and by adjusting the air volume in their swim bladders. Seahorses are commonly found in the tropical and temperate waters where their diet consists of mainly small crustacea.
Feeling uninspired lately, I picked up this book from the library nearby. It is a pretty well written book that details the Seven Principles of Innovation, inspired by Steve Job. This post will be a summary of the 7 principles listed in the book, peppered with some of my own views.
Here are the 7 principles:
Hello, this is a simple post on getting started with CLion and CMake. I am taking a module in school which uses these tools. I thought i would share some findings i discovered along the way as i tried to set up my PC.
CLion is an IDE for cross-platform development in C++ language. We can think of Clion to be similar to intellij in Java or Webstorm for Javascript programming.
If your computer is on Windows, then you need to perform an additional configuration step on CLion to set up the environment: Cygwin, MinGW, WSL or Microsoft Visual C++…

Big Overview of ReactJS

The topics covered include:
Data Fragmentation: How to partition the data and decide which database shard should contain which part of the data?
Data Storage: How does databases perform reads and writes? What is the underlying data structure used to store data?
Data Concurrency: Each server might receive more than one transaction concurrently. How do we know what order to perform them? How do we ensure this ordering of transactions is maintained across different replica sites and executed in isolation of one another?
Data Reliability: This section deals…
This article is meant to be a summary post of the original Raft paper published as seen below. However, it will not include the sections on managing cluster membership and log compaction for now (Perhaps future edits to this article will include it).
Some figures below are also taken from my school’s lecture notes.
Felt an urge to write this post so that i can look back and read this post.
CS4225 Summary (Hadoop Related Tools)
It is a framework that manages big data storage in a distributed way and processes it parallely.
Components of Hadoop:
HDFS is specially designed for storing huge datasets on commodity machines…
