There’s a quiet elegance in well-written loops. Like a path through a garden, they should guide the reader naturally from beginning to end, each step clear and purposeful. The most beautiful code often starts with the most basic tools. A simple for loop tells a complete story: names = [‘Alice’, ‘Bob’, ‘Charlie’] for name in…

When a container(process) is terminated due to an Out Of Memory (OOM) manager condition, Kubernetes marks it as OOMKilled. In this case , the Linux kernel’s OOM Killer terminates the process and the container exits with exit code 137. This exit code is an important troubleshooting signal in Kubernetes. Why OOMKill Happens Linux uses an…

Unlike timeline-based animations, which tell stories across a sequence of events, or interaction animations that are triggered when someone touches something, ambient animations are the kind of passive movements you might not notice at first. But, they make a design look alive in subtle ways. In an ambient animation, elements might subtly transition between colours,…

Creating incremented auto-generated integer IDs on a database level was a default approach for a long time. It was (is?) very popular for a reason. Advantages of generated IDs includes: No need to manage IDs manually in code + database guarantees uniqueness; Integers perform fast DB-level for joins, comparisons, indexing, and take less storage size;…

Java has a vast ecosystem of APIs, not all of which are effective or easy to learn. Developing a good API is not trivial: misdesigning key elements, defining simple abstractions, and threading models are among the themes that must be addressed. The official Elasticsearch Java SDK is a project with a design effort that has…
