  • Enforce code consistency with clang-format | Red Hat Developer

    Imposing a common coding style can improve the readability and maintainability of your code in shared projects. Code consistency is particularly important in open source projects, where contributors often revise code written by others. Code styling can also be especially challenging in open source projects because different contributors have their own style preferences. This article introduces clang-format, an uncomplicated tool that you can use to set a common code style for your team projects written C, C++, and Objective C.

    As an example for our discussion, I'll use xsimd, a project I contribute to, which enables the manipulation of batches of numbers with the same arithmetic operators used for single values. I will show you how to choose a code style, convert an existing codebase to that new style, and enforce the code style on future commits.

    Note that clang-format is part of the LLVM project.

  • What is the Red Hat Accelerators program and why might you want to join? | Enable Sysadmin

    Since 2019, I've been a member of the Red Hat Accelerators program, a global community of IT professionals who wish to share and exchange their knowledge and passion for Red Hat products and open source projects. As a member, I'm able to exchange ideas with Red Hat customers, partners, and IT experts from a wide range of industries, as well as Red Hat employees and leaders.

    The Accelerators program offers many benefits for members, which I will describe below. Before I begin: This article reflects my opinions on the Red Hat Accelerators program and may or may not be the same as Red Hat's view.

  • IT skills: Should you build or buy?

    In the staffing industry, it’s often said that employers are hunting for a “purple squirrel” – an ideal candidate with an impossible-to-find mix of skills, experience, or other credentials. Employers hunting purple squirrels are no doubt well-intentioned, but such overly restrictive hiring practices lead to unfilled positions, overworked teams, and lost productivity.

    These consequences are severe enough for companies under normal circumstances, but in today’s climate of sky-high resignation rates, tepid labor force participation, and rapid technological change, they can become existential threats. To avoid this, leaders should reevaluate the skills they recruit for in the market – that is, the skills they “buy” – and identify the skills they can train internally – or “build” – in their existing workforce.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech

The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. Read more

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
