Initial IP was 0 on the 8086/8088. I suspect that detailed technical information like this tends to be copy-pasted more than understood, which is why a lot of second-sourced information out there on it is just plain wrong or caveated. The sometimes self-contradicting information in Intel's own docs doesn't help either.

This is what I've figured out from Intel's docs:

8086/88: CS:IP = FFFF:0000 first instruction at FFFF0
80186/188: CS:IP = FFFF:0000 first instruction at FFFF0
80286: CS:IP = F000:FFF0 first instruction at FFFF0
80386: CS:IP = 0000:0000FFF0 or F000:0000FFF0[1], first instruction at FFFFFFF0
80486+: CS:IP = F000:0000FFF0(?) first instruction at FFFFFFF0

Having extra code in the binary is not a serious scaling issue. You can reserve capacity for specific endpoints with an L7 load balancer, and flip config flags to run different worker processes on different instances.

Microservices are not about scaling the runtime, they’re about scaling the engineering organization and deployment processes so that teams can iterate and ship independently. With thousands of engineers committing to the same artifact, the probability that at least one commit is bad (blocking rollout of all others) approaches 1.

Monoliths have been around for decades and much smarter people than me have been thinking about this problem.

Unfortunately there is just no way to enforce discipline because monoliths sometimes demand unintuitive behaviour. Often it is better to cut/paste code than it is to link from one module to another. And don't forget that when a deadline hits developer are often forced to do things that aren't always architecturally sound.

Microservices forces isolation between modules.

I’m curious your native language so I can better understand your perspective. Articles convey meaning to me - relatively, perhaps, or specificity. How to use “a” vs. “the” is not taught in schools to native speakers of English. It’s not something that is prescribed by rules. A speaker selects “a” or “the” by what they are trying to convey and a native speaker does not ever question when he should use one or their other based on grammar or rules. Instead, he chooses based on what he is trying to express.

I wonder how the native language you learn as a child impacts the way your brain not only expresses concepts but how it even perceives them.

If I walked up to a my friend, a native speaker of English and said “I like dogs” he’d probably respond with “that’s nice”. If I walked up and said “I like the dogs” he’d probably ask “which dogs?” because the use of “the” conveys that it is a specific group of dogs. In a language without articles you might use “I like those dogs” or “I like these dogs” to call out specificity among dogs in general. That’s great. There’s lots of different ways to express the same concept in virtually all languages. Redundancy in expression doesn’t remove meaning from any method.

My whole point was there is no requirement for articles, many languages work without articles, but just because they don’t convey meaning to you doesn’t mean they don’t convey meaning to someone else. They add specificity and relatively that is subtle yet important within the language, even if it could be accomplished by other means.

I heard another example last night when watching sport news and am curious your thoughts. The announcer said:

“This is not the story of the night but it definitely is a story.” If I drop the articles, it seems I have to re-word that sentence to convey what is being expressed.
Balance Laws
Well said. Particularly in highly optimized code, it can save future maintainers (e.g., you) precious time if you take a moment to explain the things that are not obvious and could, at first blush, look like bugs.

Writing good comments requires a lot of vigilance: not only do you need to know which decisions to explain, but good documentation often entails explaining why you didn’t do something.

“We don’t need a memory barrier here because ____.”

“There is a subtle race between X and Y here, but it’s benign because ____.”

Of course, if your colleagues are not as disciplined as you, even the best comments can fall victim to comment rot over time.

> I would like to see intelligence measurement procedures that work alike for corvids, humans, and digital computing systems. I don't know if they exist.

Of course these objective psychometrics exist, but it's usually only referenced in fields like information sciences, xenology, or speculative futures studies. The obvious reason is because IQ or g factor is only relevant as a barrier to entry in human societies for eliminating potential revolutionary competition against the higher incumbent echelons, pseudoscientific justification of persecution and political subsidy gerrymandering by fracturing demographics into enclaves of special interests to play off each other, or simply as a cultural shibboleth to identify peers for collusion and enemies for swindling.

To start with, there's metrics like the encephalization quotient which are still empirically based (read: gimmicks to support a pre-defined conclusion) curve fitting of anthropocentric expectations of how a genre of organisms should be judged relative to how humans perceive themselves in ability. Yes it's an improvement from IQ or g because it simplifies what was a constantly changing, completely opaque, and wholly arbitrary metric into something that at least measures one physically real property, namely brain volume. But I guess you could say the same about things like phrenology or any other quackery.

There's further refinements to metrics like the sentience quotient based on the density of computational matter or surface area of the I/O boundary of an organism against its environment. Even metrics like this still have incredible assumptions on the nature of intelligence as if we should prioritize the bandwidth or latency of interconnect, I/O, or memory among many other considerations such as algorithmic efficiency -- a whole other can of worms because that means you now need to define the relevant sources and sinks of information and that mapping essentially implies the "purpose of life" which is still a tricky thing to classify. Maybe it's the ability to minimize the time required to maximize the diffusion of an energy gradient? It's unclear.

And that's pretty much the crux of all this that has been stated before on this site[0]: "Metrics, even if not quantified, are always goal-oriented in providing an explanation or use."

Sometimes that use could be nepotism, mental masturbation to relieve some angst brought on by realizing a life wasted in pursuing nonsense like psychiatry, or maybe it's just to survive when the only source of funding demands you to tailor a patch of woven bullshit to mend the emperor's increasingly tattered clothes.

People confuse monolith and monorepo all the time. If you have a monolith where each independent module communicate via queue, like described in the article, you are so close to having a monorepo of horizontally scalable micro-services.
It is a massive scaling issue. Most enterprise JVM apps for example are running with 8GB+ of RAM. Adding 10x the capacity which is only needed for say sending emails can be hugely expensive or sometimes impossible if you are running on-premise.

And scaling different parts of the application is just one of many benefits of microservices.
Cool story who do you work for so I can make sure never to send my resume
Pulp and Jump are interfaces to CBC, GUROBI, CPLEX, XPRESS...etc. They can do LP, MIP, IP, and Nonlinear optimization to a degree. These are used for massive scale optimization problems as you've indicated. When I look at constraint programming, it looks usable only for problems of a small fraction of my model's size I guess. It looks like the flatzinc language that minizinc compiles to has an interface to GUROBI, CPLEX, & CBC. So at least it can be used as a modeling language.

Btw...Picat looks like it has similarities to Minizinc.

> Storing enough energy for 7-days worth

Thank you for pointing that out so I don't have to. He's tossing an insane requirement in there and hoping you don't notice. So instead of needing storage to shift about 20-30% of power needs on a daily basis he claims an absolute requirement of 700% of daily usage. Making any solution 20-30 times more costly.

Consider the alternative, as we have snow days. We could have 'energy days' where non-essential demand gets cut off and we fire up some combined cycle plants.

Also I'm not wading through his website again but last time I looked he was studiously ignoring thermal storage. Running that calculation is pretty easy. But he doesn't. Because it's doable even with his deranged 7 day requirement.
Bloomberg says they did a year of reporting, and over 100 interviews, and have around 17 sources.

I read it as an opinion on the cost of serializing
Er, but the description of a “well-architected monolith” here is a set of loosely coupled components (with specific criteria for where you at component boundaries) communicating over an external set of message queues, which, while it doesn't have all the features which define a microservice architecture, is itself a widely documented, well-known, older (heavily documented in the 1990s, possibly older) alternative to monoliths. I suppose this is being called a monolith because everything except the message bus is implicitly jammed into a single process rather than each module being in its own process. But, even aside from the modularization being different from a monolith, bringing messaging out of process makes a huge difference compared to even a modularized single-process solution.

> Pulp and Jump are interfaces to CBC, GUROBI, CPLEX, XPRESS

Right, which is different from MiniZinc.

But to answer your original question "Can someone explain why I would use this instead of Python + Pulp or Pyomo, or Julia + JuMP", I don't think Pulp and Jump can handle constraint programming explicitly unless you reformulate the CP as an MIP or similar. As you alluded to, this is Minizinc's advantage -- it's a modeling language specifically for CPs, which Pulp and Jump are not. Despite the mathematical equivalencies, CP folks model stuff a little differently from MIP folks (modeling is more convoluted for MIPs).

To expand, Pulp and Jmp write out .nl files (AMPL binary format for optimization), which is a standard format for many optimization solvers. I don't know much about flatzinc, but due to a subset of mathematical equivalencies, I imagine the interfaces are able to translate to .nl, in which case, any number of optimization solvers can be deployed. However, the converse doesn't seem to be true -- I don't think models written in Pulp and Jmp can call CP solvers (not sure if there's an .nl subset to flatzinc interface).
Snapchat filled a niche that sat between directly messaging your friend/family group and putting something on display on Facebook. You could share random thoughts, things that happened in your day or interesting things you come across.

It was walled version of Twitter with a focus on photo and video.

What made it really interesting for me is that, because it uses your phone book to gather your contacts, you end up with a somewhat different circle to who you might have on Facebook. There were some people I hadn't spoken to for years, or people who were in my friends circle that I didn't talk to much, that became some of my most-interacted with people on Snapchat.

It's a matter of ongoing language exchange. So English is still a common language, but Afrikans and Dutch are different, if South African speakers are not exposed to dutch a lot. I'm not sure how it is for Portuguese at home and in Brazil. The Brazilians have little exposure to Portuguese media content, I guess, so I'd expect it would diverge, if it develops quickly, if language change didn't get slower for various reasons, which I suppose it did though due to social and technical developments.
I'm likely guilty of being a naive technologist. I appreciate this different perspective.
I was going to say, the number of ways to make something look like a ceramic component are more relevant.
So... keep modules separate, use queues and databases to communicate between modules, make sure the queues and databases are a separate process from the monolith.

This sounds a bit less like a monolith and a bit more like a bunch of microservices that you've welded together in one container. Which is great! If you're disciplined about maintaining that, it will be very easy to spin off these individual modules as their own microservices when the time comes.

But I'm not sure that this constitutes an argument for monoliths > microservices.

Yeah, I don't know why I said in home directory and just mounted when I need it. Might as well be mounted all the time and system-wide. It just all came out in some kind of rambling excited nonsense.

The TeX Live packages are by far the largest on my system. Last time I looked there were loads of very small and moderately compressible files that caused space usage to be exaggerated.

The only time the non-user TeX directories need to be writeable is to update or install new packages, so it doesn't matter if it it's read only most of the time.
