I certificati SSL dureranno sempre meno. E secondo me è una buona cosa
I certificati SSL sono una di quelle cose a cui nessuno pensa finché non scadono. Ora la loro durata si sta riducendo parecchio. Può sembrare una scocciatura, ma il messaggio secondo me è quello giusto: automatizza o prima o poi avrai un problema.
The Cloud is still someone else’s computer
We talk about “the cloud” as if our data somehow floats above us. In reality, it lives on physical machines, inside real data centres, consuming power, needing cooling and occasionally failing like every other computer.
Why latency matters more than speed
We usually talk about internet connections in terms of speed, but speed is only part of the story. Latency is what often decides whether technology feels instant, responsive and smooth — or strangely slow despite a fast connection.
The quiet genius of caching
Caching is everywhere, yet most people never notice it. It makes websites, apps and systems feel faster by avoiding unnecessary repeated work — a simple idea that quietly powers much of the performance we take for granted.
The internet is much more fragile than it looks
I think we take the internet for granted because, most of the time, it just works. You type a website into a browser and a second later you’re there. Behind that very simple action, though, quite a few completely separate systems have already had to do their job properly.
The cloud still depends on electricity
Cloud infrastructure often feels almost abstract. We deploy applications to regions, create redundant services and talk about availability zones as if the physical machines underneath them have somehow disappeared.
