Now we have made it to the kernel. Let's assume you have a chip, any chip, from the suppliers we've just discussed. You might choose to manually load a kernel onto that chip, using a GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) to load (or strap) the kernel, and pass all permissions over to it. It is the animus in the machine. There are many different kernels, but they share one interesting characteristic to security: they run with the highest level of access, mediating interactions between user applications and the physical chips. A good kernel will handle low-level tasks like CPU scheduling, memory allocation, device input/output, and system calls. It is the bridge between software and hardware: if the kernel fails to load or crashes, the entire system will halt. To make this level of access a bit safer, the kernel is designed to be always resident in memory, and execute in a protected mode that is isolated from applications. This prevents damage to core system data...

An introduction to philosophy for software engineers and architects that will help them understand their design process. This book helps to answer the question “Why are we like this?”.

The book covers all the key skills needed for preparing, exploring, and analysing longitudinal data. To facilitate understanding and help readers learn these skills, it interweaves statistical modelling with computer code and visualizations. It does this using real-world data, code, and outputs that readers can replicate.

Logic is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks. This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 40 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!
