This book is the tale of the oldest active hacking group in the USA. Joseph Menn explores the Cult of the Dead Cow from its origins back in the 80s, and looks at its oddball characters—activists, artists, and musicians—some of whom went on to advise presidents, cabinet members, and CEOs, and who now walk the corridors of power in Washington and Silicon Valley. Featuring a new afterword with updates on the collective, Cult of the Dead Cow describes how, at a time when governments, corporations, and criminals hold immense power, a small band of tech iconoclasts is on our side fighting back.

This book looks at latency from first principles to production-ready code, and shows how to make your software faster at every layer of the stack. Pekka Enberg explains what latency really is, how it differs from bandwidth, and why it matters for user experience.  Using practical examples, later chapters show how to apply Little’s Law, design lock-free algorithms, and design caching systems that scale. Enberg explains how code runs differently on distributed systems, databases, and operating systems, and how to understand the common latency-causing issues in each situation.
