Universities worldwide currently face a pivotal choice: should they contribute to building a global infrastructure for exchange, science, and discourse, free from the control of oligarchs, to promote democracy, human rights, and digital participation? Or should they continue advertising on private networks, hoping for clicks and marginally increased student enrollment?

Recent analyses of Meta and Alibaba’s production microservices architectures identified patterns of heavy-tail and power law distributions. These patterns manifest in service scale, and request patterns, providing a glimpse into the inherent characteristics of large-scale distributed systems. For details review of Meta and Alibaba’s microservices ecosystem please see here and here.

Alibaba has built a complex system of microservices to support its large user base and manage its diverse business operations. This article explores key learning from Alibaba’s microservices architecture, presenting critical observations from its design, scalability, performance optimisation, and resource allocation model.

En enero iniciaremos el curso intersemestral de Filosofía e Historia de la Biología semestre 2025-3 de la carrera de Biología en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM, es un curso intensivo que durará tres semanas del 6 de enero al 24 del siguiente año (2025). Al parecer será un grupo pequeño, lo que nos permitirá interactuar más y hacer un curso mas personalizado, Generalmente este curso es más abierto y versátil porque la mayoría de los

The rise of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices architecture has led to a major shift in software development, enabling the creation of complex, distributed systems composed of independent, loosely coupled services. These architectures offer numerous benefits, including scalability, flexibility, and resilience.

The Baader–Meinhof phenomenon (aka the frequency illusion) is the name for that thing that happens when you buy a new car, and suddenly you notice that same model car everywhere you drive.

“Content drift” is an important concept for digital preservation and web archiving. Scholarly readers expect to find immutable (“persisted”) content at the resolution endpoint of a DOI. It is a matter of research integrity that research articles should remain the same at the endpoint, as citations can refer to specific textual formulations.

I’ve been wanting to expand on the previous post ever since I wrote it, which is over a month ago now. It has been a busy end to the semester. Plus, there’s a lot to say – nothing that hasn’t been said before, somewhere, somehow, yet still a lot to cobble together into a coherent story – if that’s even possible. This will be a long post, and there will be more after to narrate the story of our big paper in the ApJ.
