Technical Reads, Threads, and Other Curiosities

dot-net dependency-injection postgresql mysql tls os deep-learning electronics threads curiosities

Dependency Injection in .NET

  • Dependency Injection in ASP NET Core (Microsoft, 2025)1 Microsoft’s official guide: covers configuring Scoped, Transient, and Singleton lifetimes and provides practical examples for controllers and services.

  • Beyond Singleton, Scoped and Transient Lifetimes (Lock, n.d.)2 Andrew Lock explores extensions to the native lifetimes and demonstrates advanced patterns for microservices and hybrid scenarios.

Databases and Connections

  • Hacking PostgreSQL (PDF) (PostgreSQL Europe, 2018)3 Internal PostgreSQL techniques to optimize queries and extend functionality beyond default configurations.

  • How to Manage Connections Efficiently in Postgres, or Any Database (Brandur, n.d.)4 Pooling strategies, timeouts, and load balancing to keep your application scalable under high concurrency.

  • Overloaded Connection Pool with Bad MySQL Driver Implementation (Alxolr, n.d.)5 Real-world case: diagnosing and resolving bottlenecks caused by a faulty MySQL driver.

Systems & Architecture

  • Tutorial: Building an Operating System from Scratch (Fenollosa, n.d.)6 Hands-on guide to building a minimal kernel, covering bootstrapping, memory management, and scheduling.

  • Every Byte of a TLS Connection Explained and Reproduced (Hacker News, 2017)7 Step-by-step breakdown of a TLS handshake—ideal for demystifying the transport security layer.

  • K-map, the Weird Cousin of K-anonymity (Desfontaines, 2017)8 Alternative anonymization methods and re-identification risks, with clear examples.

Machine Learning

  • Geometric Understanding of Deep Learning (Bronstein et al., 2018)9 Connects tensors with differential geometry; essential if you’re after the mathematical foundations of neural networks.

  • Colorizing and Restoring Old Images with Deep Learning (Jantic, 2019)10 Open-source project using GANs to colorize and enhance historical photos—an excellent practical case study.

Hardware & Electronics

  • The Potentiometer Handbook (Bourns, 1975)11 Classic manual on potentiometer design and applications, from basic principles to advanced instrumentation.

I like to rely on sources that dive deep into concepts, offer varied examples, and provide an enrich understanding.
