Building an OS from scratch is a different kind of challenge.

I'd like to share BoringOS, an independent x86_64 desktop operating system written primarily in C. This is not a Linux distribution or a customized existing OS. The project is developing its own kernel, userspace, filesystem functionality, USB/xHCI and HID support, process/task architecture, and a native desktop environment called BoringWM. For developers interested in OSDev and low-level systems programming, it's an interesting project to explore and follow. I'm particularly interested in hearing from developers with experience in kernel or systems programming: Which subsystem would you be most interested in contributing to or seeing developed further—kernel architecture, filesystems, USB support, process management, or the desktop environment? 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/dennishilk/boringos OSDev #CProgramming #KernelDevelopment #SystemsProgramming #OpenSource #LowLevelProgramming

Your AG Secondaries Aren't Load Balancing Because You Skipped One Step

A client paged me at 6am because their reporting dashboards were timing out. Nothing was down. The primary replica in their Always On AG was just getting hammered by every single read query in the environment, while two perfectly healthy secondary replicas sat there doing nothing but redo. They had

Material Design 4 in Android: UX Patterns That Convert

The current Material generation — dynamic color, tonal palettes, expressive shapes — is a conversion tool, not just a skin. Here is how I use it in production Android apps, step by step.
