Containerization (Apple)
Containerization is a Swift package for running Linux containers
This repository provides educational material and sample code that demystify how containerization works and how container components fit together in practice. It walks through the responsibilities of an image format, registry, and runtime, and shows how a minimal runtime can assemble an isolated process with the right filesystem view, environment, and entrypoint. The samples highlight security hardening considerations—such as process isolation, filesystem scoping, and least-privilege execution—so that containers are not just portable, but safer by default. Developers get a blueprint for taking standard container images and running them in a way that respects platform conventions, tooling, and policies. The emphasis is on clarity and standards alignment rather than building a production-grade engine, which makes the code ideal for learning and experimentation. -

Hacker Laws
Laws, theories, principles and patterns useful to developers
Laws, Theories, Principles and Patterns that developers will find useful. There are lots of laws which people discuss when talking about development. This repository is a reference and overview of some of the most common ones. Principles and laws to follow such as: If a program is made up of two parts, part A, which must be executed by a single processor, and part B, which can be parallelised, then we see that adding multiple processors to the system executing the program can only have a limited benefit. It can potentially greatly improve the speed of part B - but the speed of part A will remain unchanged. Also, theories like The Broken Windows Theory, which suggests that visible signs of crime (or lack of care of an environment) lead to further and more serious crimes (or further deterioration of the environment). Conway's Law suggests that the technical boundaries of a system will reflect the structure of the organisation. These among others, are featured in this project. -
