Science and engineering is sort of revere hacking of the world code. If you believe moral is built in, it is also a discovery and “hacking” process. Only in arts ... may be even that if you are more Plato than hacksmann
You can always make problems with steps that involve "easy" numbers. My experience with high school math was that if you wrote 1.414 when the answer was sqrt(2), you got the problem wrong. So I am not sure what the calculators added, really.
> if you perform them in parallel switching between them, you get the benefit that at time 51 you can show both of the recipients that you are 25% complete, but you deliver A at time 199 and B at time 200.

That's not parallelism, that's concurrency. You are basically doing round-robin. If they were done in parallel, then both tasks would get completed at time 100. Throughput usually improves the otherwise maximum latency when there is at least some parallelism, otherwise I agree improving throughput would not make a lot of sense in many cases.

> I think that what I am doing is some variant of Domain-Driven Design?

Sounds like iterative and incremental software development. I dare say Agile.
How so? What if you don’t use emacs or just want your irssi not dying every time you enter a tunnel?
True, but in the same way that a 747 is terrible for delivering pizza.

You may be right that Java doesn't scale down well, but that's not normally the sort of work it's intended for. (Let's ignore the applets mistake.) It's a terrible solution for scripting, yes, but for heavyweight server roles I'd be surprised to see it significantly outperformed by .Net, and there's really no way Lua or Python would be able to compete.

OpenJDK has a very impressive (and heavyweight) JIT, for instance, and very impressive GCs of almost no use for short-lived applications.

With all that said, it'd be great if OpenJDK's new developments mature to the point that Java can become practical for 'lightweight work'.

They didn't do the drive yet, this is just a piece of fluff to fill the time between their initial announcement and the drive (which will start next week).
It is pretty clear this is just an aggregation of public Slack channels. I don't think they will have to change their name.
I agree and I have worked with ZODB. It isn't a database, it is a mediocre persistence ... thingy. You store objects and now your database is tied to your code.

Have experienced nightmarrish scenarios when updating codebases.
