Analytical Methods for Dynamic Simulation of Non-penetrating Rigid Bodies
A method for analytically calculating the forces between systems of rigid bodies in resting (non-colliding) contact is presented.
The systems of bodies may either be in motion or static equilibrium and adjacent bodies may touch at multiple points.
The analytic formulation of the forces between bodies in non-colliding contact can be modified to deal with colliding bodies.
Accordingly, an impro ... ⌘ Read more

Easy to use Performance Modeling
When designing distributed systems or analyzing cryptography protocols, reasoning about the probability and the performance are critical. The current tools for performance modeling like PRISM are too complicated to use, most people end up simulations in Python.

With FizzBee, it has an almost Python’ish language for formal specification and modeling. The system will analyze and compute the latency distributions, steady state probabilities and so on. It can be used to model things like ... ⌘ Read more

Book recommendation for new programmers
I know someone who is currently learning to program: they are nearing the end of a short college course. For their birthday, they requested Robert Martin’s “Clean Code” or the Gang of Four’s “Design Patterns”. I really dislike both of those books, so I bought them something else from their birthday list instead.

However, it made me wonder what a good alternative would have been. If someone just asked for a book for a beginning programmer, what would you recomme ... ⌘ Read more

How to write "hookable" software?**
Does anybody have any resources/references/design patterns/guides/blog posts/etc for building software that is designed to be extensible by users? I have a Kubernetes controller that I’d like to build in some user extension points for, and I’m not really sure the best way to go about this.

My rough requirements are

1. Users should be able to write in whatever language they want (or, at the_very_ least, they shouldn’t have to recompile the controller binary)
