SD Times Open-Source Project of the Week: KataOS

Google announced that it open-sourced several components for its secure operating system called KataOS as part of an effort to build verifiably secure systems for embedded hardware. 

Google Research aims to solve this problem by providing a secure platform optimized for embedded devices running ML applications. 

SeL4 is the microkernel for the project because it prioritizes security and the seL4 CAmkES framework provides statically-defined and analyzable system components.

With KataOS, it’s impossible for applications to breach the kernel’s hardware security protections and the system components are verifiably secure. 

The GitHub release includes many of the KataOS core pieces such as the frameworks used for Rust, an alternate rootserver, and kernel modifications to seL4 that can reclaim memory used by the rootserver. 

Google stated that currently KataOS can’t run applications built outside of the CAmkES framework, but that it is working on incorporating it in the near future. Also, Google is building a reference implementation for KataOS called Sparrow that combines KataOS with a secured hardware platform. 

Google also partnered with Antmicro, a software-driven tech company providing development services, platforms, know-how and guidance to customers, on their Renode simulator and related frameworks.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
