[Links of the Day] 12/04/2017: Linux Perf tools, libp2p and Contagion of Information in Social Media

  • Perf Toolsmiscellaneous collection of in-development and unsupported performance analysis tools for Linux ftrace and perf_events. 
  • Contagion of Information in Social Media :  The authors look at how information spread on social media ( twitter ). The authors model contagion behaviour in the hope to create effective defences against "fake news" and other propaganda. However, to some extend the research can also be used to optimise the spread of such malicious information. 
  • libp2p :  really cool network stack ( used by IPFS) that tackle a lot of the nitty gritty detail of p2p applications. It should allow devs to focus on the actual value of their p2p apps rather than the technical underlying problems of p2p itself. [github]
