Distributed Systems

Learn How to Better Understand Distributed System Design and Solve Common Problems Enterprises today rely on a range of distributed software handling data storage, messaging, system management, and compute capability. Distributed system designs need to be implemented in some programming language, and there are common problems that these implementations need to solve. These problems have common recurring solutions. A patterns approach is very suitable to describe these implementation aspects. Patterns by nature are generic enough to cover a broad range of products from cloud services like Amazon S3 to message brokers like Apache Kafka to infrastructure frameworks like Kubernetes to databases like MongoDB or Actor frameworks like Akka. At the same time the pattern structure is specific enough to be able to show real code. The beauty of this approach is that even if the code structure is shown in one programming language (Java in this case), the structure applies to many other programming

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the ‘NSL’) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and to support the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”.From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hong Kong

The Buddhist Maritime Silk Road recounts the magnificent history of the world of Maritime Buddhism from a diverse range of aspects―the various Buddhist traditions, pilgrims and monks, causes and conditions, norms and rituals, cross-cultural relations between East and West, as well as the intricacies of navigation technology, and migrations of the Austronesian peoples―all remarkable and crucial elements of the transmission of Buddhism brought to new heights of importance.In this book, Dr. Lewis R. Lancaster innovatively shifts the focus to documenting the dynamic networks and systems of interchange in Eurasia, instead of the common approach of historical, event-structured analysis. The fascinating history of the spread of Buddhism begins in the early years of the Common Era, when animal caravans began treading across the inland routes between India and China, evolving as sea routes flourished over centuries. It emerges that Buddhism flowed and thrived along with the beating pulse of the

★ 首本以華人視角探討IFS的心理學專書 ★風行歐美的革命性心理療法！ 「我們都有缺陷，也都值得被愛； 我們都會犯錯，同時也在成長。」―留佩萱 為何你有時溫和、有時憤怒？感到快樂、卻也在痛苦裡打轉？ 這些都是你，同時有許多內在人格存在於心裡。 各種看似傷害的負面情緒與身心問題，都只是為了保護自己， IFS讓你有機會進到內心去認識他們，理解並擁抱他們， 找回自己是誰，讓不完美但完整的自己，繼續成長與前行！ 人，真的很複雜。 你可能被傷害過，也曾傷害過別人； 渴望有歸屬感、被看見，又害怕展現脆弱、害怕真實的自己會被拒絕； 感到快樂、喜悅、痛苦、悲傷、憤怒、忌妒、失望……； 希望自己可以真實地活著，但又不斷推開生命中真實的情緒。 所以總在不斷出現的各種身心問題中掙扎，承受內在衝突。 IFS正是能帶你走出痛苦迴圈的心理治療法。 在歐美，「內在家庭系統」（Internal Family Systems, IFS）因成效斐然， 數十年來，已然成為最受歡迎的心理療法， 無論是創傷復原、成癮行為、憂鬱⋯⋯都能有效療癒。 IFS認為正面、負面都是自己的一部分（Part, 或稱內在人格）， 內心就像一棟大房子，像家庭一樣，有不同的成員居住其中， 這些內在部分，在成長過程中經歷過各種事件，用不同方式保護著你。 唯有找出自己的內在衝突根源、對話並理解， 即能找回自己是誰，療癒過去的創傷。 ●什麼是「內在家庭系統」？ 「內在家庭系統治療」（Internal Family Systems Therapy），簡稱IFS，是近年在國外十分風靡的心理治療法， IFS認為，我們的內心就像一棟大房子，裡面居住著許多不同的「部分」(parts)， 而這些「部分」(parts)也會如同家庭成員般互動。 有些「部分」是正面的，他會鞭策、批評你，幫助你生活規律、受人稱讚； 有些「部分」是負面的，他會轉移你的注意力，透過暴飲暴食，喝醉酒、沉迷性愛，幫助你遺忘痛苦。 每個「部分」都有其存在意義，無論他們做出什麼行為，最終目的都是為了保護你不受傷害。 IFS並非將你將不好的「部分」趕走，而是幫助你面對內心的脆弱、不安，接納這些情緒， 療癒你曾經受的傷。 療癒，就是找回你最初的「自我」(Self)，是你真正的本質， 當你的「自我」成為內在領導者後，就能夠撐起空間給每一個內在部分， 你的「自我」能夠跟這些情緒共處，而不是

極深入 • 卻 • 極清楚！電腦網路原理OSI實體層至應用層一次講給你知！20 世紀，國際標準組織（International Organization for Standardization，ISO）提出 OSI 模型（Open Systems Interconnection）。作為電腦網路通訊規則的協定，OSI 模型讓不同廠商的網路設備能夠透過 Internet 進行資料之間的傳輸通訊，依照功能分為 7 層：應用層／展現層／會談層／傳輸層／網路層／資料連結層／物理層，並且規定每一層規範與實現的功能。．．．▅▆▇ 開門見山本書打破常規，直接從應用程式通訊使用的協定切入，由於應用層協定可見、可操作、比較具體，因此本書先從應用層協定開始講解，接著依照協定分層高至低順序講解，依次是傳輸層、網路層、資料連結層、物理層，將其他較為抽象的 OSI 參考模型、IPv6、網路安全放至後面章節講解。．．．▅▆▇ 深入並清楚的DETAILS!本書著重說明電腦網路通訊過程與各層級協定的細節，亦清晰地陳述如何設定網路裝置來驗證原理，以及所學理論可應用之處。．．．▅▆▇ 本書重點★ 路由器／交換機／Hub：長得一樣，功能卻不同！★ 讓你從零基礎了解網路上資料是如何傳送的★ 介紹應用層的常用協定，包括FTP、HTTP、SMTP/POP3等★ 介紹傳輸層，如TCP/IP、UDP、IP位址及子網路劃分★ 靜態路由/動態路由、路由表、標準Windows的指令★ 網路層介紹、IP、ICMP、IGMP、ARP★ 資料連結層、物理層、光纖、銅線、CAT5/6/7/8、OSI標準★ 最先近的IPv6 ―― 物聯網就靠這個用不完的IP位址來達成

'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com
