    Hacker Laws

    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.

    Public Image Mirror

    Public Image Mirror

    Many images are hosted overseas, such as GCR

    The DaoCloud Public Image Mirror project provides a stable and efficient container image acceleration service designed to improve download speeds in regions where access to global registries is slow, such as China. Many popular registries like Docker Hub, GCR, and GHCR are located overseas, often causing significant delays when pulling images. This project solves the problem by offering mirrored registries with consistent image hashes and real-time synchronization. It uses a lazy-loading mechanism, caching image layers in third-party object storage, ensuring that frequently used images are delivered faster. The system is simple to use, requiring only a prefix replacement to pull images from the mirror instead of the original registry. By reducing latency and improving reliability, the service supports developers in accelerating Kubernetes, Docker, Containerd, and AI model image downloads in production environments.

    AWS CodeBuild curated Docker images

    AWS CodeBuild curated Docker images

    AWS CodeBuild repository for managed Docker images

    When you call AWS CodeBuild to run a build, you must provide information about the build environment. A build environment represents a combination of operating system, programming language runtime, and tools that CodeBuild uses to run a build. The master branch will sometimes have changes that are still in the process of being released in AWS CodeBuild. When you provide information to CodeBuild about the build environment, you specify the identifier of a Docker image in a supported repository type. These include the CodeBuild Docker image repository, publicly available images in Docker Hub, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repositories that your AWS account has permission to access. We recommend that you use Docker images stored in the CodeBuild Docker image repository, because they are optimized for use with the service.

    Bash Infinity

    Bash Infinity

    A modern standard library / framework / boilerplate for Bash

    Bash Infinity is a standard library and a boilerplate framework for writing tools using bash. It's modular and lightweight while managing to implement some concepts from C#, Java or JavaScript into bash. The Infinity Framework is also plug & play: include it at the beginning of your existing script to import any of the individual features such as error handling, and start using other features gradually. The aim of Bash Infinity is to maximize the readability of bash scripts, minimize the amount of code repeat and create a central repository for a well-written, and a well-tested standard library for bash. Bash Infinity transforms the often obfuscated "bash syntax" to a cleaner, more modern syntax. Some components are more sturdy than others, and as-it-stands the framework lacks good test coverage (we need your help!).

    Bocker

    Bocker

    Docker implemented in around 100 lines of bash

    Bocker is a minimal, educational reimplementation of core container (Docker-like) functionality, done in about a hundred lines of Bash script. Its purpose is not to replace Docker’s full feature set, but to illustrate container primitives—namespaces, cgroups, layering, filesystem manipulation, network namespaces, etc.—in a transparent, minimal form. With bocker you can perform basic operations such as pulling an image, running a container, exec into a container, listing containers, and removing them. Because it's written in shell, it is easy to read, reason about, and adapt for experiments or instructional use. It is not intended for production use due to performance, security, and missing features, but it is a useful tool for learning how containers work under the hood. Many learners and educators reference it when teaching container internals or when debugging container behavior in a minimal environment.

    CPU Features

    CPU Features

    A cross platform C99 library to get cpu features at runtime

    cpu_features is a cross-platform C library developed by Google that provides a simple and efficient way to detect available CPU features at runtime across a wide range of architectures and operating systems. It enables applications to determine which instruction sets (such as SSE, AVX, or NEON) are supported on the host machine, allowing developers to optimize performance dynamically. The library supports numerous architectures—including x86, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, POWER, RISCV, LoongArch, and s390x—and works on major operating systems like Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, Android, and iOS. Implemented in portable C99, it is thread-safe, has no memory allocations, and raises no exceptions, making it suitable even for use in low-level system libraries. The design emphasizes portability, extensibility, and compatibility with sandboxed or restricted environments where direct CPU access may be limited.

    Certificate Transparency Go

    Certificate Transparency Go

    Auditing for TLS certificates (Go code)

    certificate-transparency-go is a Go codebase for building and interacting with Certificate Transparency (CT) systems, from low-level parsing to full log operation. It includes forked ASN.1 and X.509 packages tailored to accept and analyze real-world certificates, including pre-certificates that stricter libraries would reject, supporting CT’s role as an ecosystem observatory. A TLS parsing library, CT data types, and multiple client libraries enable access to CT logs over HTTP and DNS, along with scanners for traversing entire logs. The repository also provides command-line tools for verifying signed certificate timestamps, inspecting certificates and CRLs, and querying logs. For operators, a “CT personality” integrates with Trillian so you can run a CT log backed by a verifiable transparency log. The project is structured for contributors, with generators, mocks, linting, and presubmit tooling to keep changes consistent and reliable.

    A lightweight library to simplify and generalize writing unit tests

    Cmockery is a lightweight unit testing framework for the C programming language, designed to make writing and executing C tests simple and portable. It allows developers to test the logic of C modules in isolation by replacing external dependencies with mock functions. Cmockery focuses on testing functionality rather than environment-specific behavior, making it ideal for projects where code must run on diverse or constrained systems. Unlike many modern frameworks, Cmockery is compatible with older compilers and avoids dependencies on newer C language features, making it suitable for legacy codebases or embedded development.

    I3D models trained on Kinetics

    I3D models trained on Kinetics

    Convolutional neural network model for video classification

    Kinetics-I3D, developed by Google DeepMind, provides trained models and implementation code for the Inflated 3D ConvNet (I3D) architecture introduced in the paper “Quo Vadis, Action Recognition? A New Model and the Kinetics Dataset” (CVPR 2017). The I3D model extends the 2D convolutional structure of Inception-v1 into 3D, allowing it to capture spatial and temporal information from videos for action recognition. This repository includes pretrained I3D models on the Kinetics dataset, with both RGB and optical flow input streams. The models have achieved state-of-the-art results on benchmark datasets such as UCF101 and HMDB51, and also won first place in the CVPR 2017 Charades Challenge. The project provides TensorFlow and Sonnet-based implementations, pretrained checkpoints, and example scripts for evaluating or fine-tuning models. It also offers sample data, including preprocessed video frames and optical flow arrays, to demonstrate how to run inference and visualize outputs.
