Non-MicroProfile Helidon uses a reactive interface for most things, which lends itself well to async operations. It a very nice, simple and powerful abstraction that makes async relatively easy. IMO anything webserver or client should be async when virtual threads aren't available, due to Java having the tendency to quickly build up a ton of threads when you use the one-thread-per-request model. That being said, virtual threads does make that model viable at scale, so reactive async probably isn't as necessary.
This is one of the things that bother me about Java; IDE dependency.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea of the process to eat these.

So first you cook them traditionally or at least close. Then you serve and eat them.

And next you have some left over bones. Which you need to bake or fry? Like why even bother to combine things like that?

And then, considering if they are shared. And someone eat them by hand and suck from the bone, you still want to mix them together, bake/fry and eat? It sounds kinda yucky...
Why did you include functional programming in that list? It seems like the odd one out to me.

Interesting. So riddle me this.

Microsoft goes to great lengths to court primary education systems to instill themselves as the "taught software stack". You say no one has any right to Microsoft's products... Then does that not run into somewhat of a public contradiction when public education systems shove it down students throats?

In point of fact, it sounds like the publically taught option should be exclusively GPL or other FLOSS software offerings, because contrary to your assertion, every student does have an implicit right to those as a public good.

> "How to organize software"

I have recently had the thought that this is mostly what software architecture is...at some level.

It's about where we draw the boundaries around code to make it easy for humans to understand.

Imagine taking an existing repo, and extracting every block of code into a function, and then moving them into their own separate file in one big folder. You could extend it to all the libraries of your code, and of those services we communicate with over the network too.

This would look a bit like a debugger symbol table. It's closer to how the computer understands the program.

The app still runs. It's just hard for people to understand what is going on.

Software architecture is simply the grouping of these functions to some extent.

It's not a foolproof analogy, because there are some decisions to be made about implementation details of things, but at some level of abstraction you would find the same operations need to be run.

Just an interesting thought.

> The question of how to architect such software is still an open one.

I find a problem we face with architecture discussions is that its always about tradeoffs that are not immediately apparent.

And it takes a lot of mental effort to remember why something is a bad idea.

The way we discuss it is limited by plain text. It's hard to demonstrate a system evolving over time in a concise manner.

Architecture should be evaluated by throwing a spec at it, and then changing every part of the spec (including adding perf requirements) and seeing how long it takes to make the changes, and how many bugs it has.
Nice. Tried the fp32, q8_0, and q4_0, and for some reason they all take ~12s/iter.

Must have something wrong with my setup, but no big deal, for my minimal usage of it, and the amount of time spent, fp32@12s/iter is fine

It is well documented that Steve Jobs would frequently park in handicap spots, generally considered a dick move.

> you start wars to gain control of valuable land with resources and more easily defensible borders, get control of lucrative trade routes, and gain workers(slaves) and natural resources for your own factories

In modern warfare, you don’t get these for free. If you’re trying to yoink from a fellow nation-state, you risk your own factories being bombed. If you’re up against a less sophisticated foe, you still sacrifice industrial production and diplomatic goodwill in excess of any base resource gains.

It’s cheaper and more fruitful to trade for those goods than it is to steal them. (Coups are no exception. They disrupt the economy and jeopardise the security situation. Much simpler to trade with Tehran than try for a coup that doesn’t result in civil war or blowback.)

I think the issue is in the intrinsic unpredictability of software development and secondly that Scrum is not even intended to help with that scheduling problem (it's meant to protect the developers schedule, not the clients schedule!).

What do I mean by those two claims?

The first, software development is inheritently unpredictable. To explain with an analogy, software development is more like writing a mystery novel than it is like building a house. In construction, the steps for each part are mechanical and the time to do so is well trodden and predictable. When a construction project starts, you can schedule the concrete trucks for specific days and generally be 99% right. Software development on the other hand is more liking writing a murder novel.

Rather than commiting to writing a novel which you then might not like, instead we say, "okay, we're going to show you each chapter after we write it and you'll reserve the right to change up the entire story entirely as you see each chapter that is written." That allows the customer things like: "ooh, I really like this secondary character, could we start writing them into the story more!"

From a requirements perspective, it's akin to film-making (film making is even more predictable than software development!!) - it's like getting the requirements: "write me a star wars prequel movie!", I then go off and do it and you get Jar-Jar binks - it's a shame to find that out all the way after the film has been made.

So, the main conflict I see is we are trying to use a process to say things like: "this book will be done in about 3 months [6 iterations, because we have estimated the product backlog and divided by a well known velocity, and we have even left time for unknown ops problems, bugs and even tech debt pay-down!]. At about the 2 month mark we can bring in the compliance and legal teams (or something like that)." Yet, all the Scrum process really allows is to give the client the right to change direction, it's not there to protect that 3 month time frame. Thus, the claim it's not meant to protect the clients schedule, Scrum is not there to protect that 3 month time frame (if anything it's there to help ensure that time frame can be adjusted [probably upwards] as the product develops)

In a way, it's like blaming the maps app for scheduling problems. The maps app can help, but inherently it's not there to make sure a meeting can start on time.

Missing the point a bit I think. (=

Spotify isn't geared to handle people streaming 8+ hours of ASMR audio per day.

Their model doesn't support having to pay artists for audio tracks people put on random shuffle while they sleep / game / study / work.

"White noise" here I think just means tracks without talking.

So mic scratching, inaudible whispers, tapping on random items, mouth sounds... all the stuff ASMR folks do.

These folks figured out how to get Spotify to pay, with a bunch of new tracks every week that people are actively listening to, and Spotify doesn't want people doing that.

> it would significantly decrease the amount people listened, and presumably some people would stop subscribing.

Not sure about that.

The main value proposition of Spotify is that is a audio marketplace that consolidates legacy music catalog via big labels (EMI, Roadrunner, Universal, etc) plus the Podcast platform sindication and in a certain stance discoverability.

Everything keeping the friction in a minimum level.

Of course Ed Sheeran is a big name, but I think it’s debatable that, let’s say the top 1% of his fan base in the Spotify user base would trade the huge amount of friction due to his catalog removal.

> Look into syntropic and natural farming, for example.

You clearly don't understand what I'm saying. You can "regenerate" this and "natural" that all you can, but it simply won't work.

There is NOT enough naturally fixed nitrogen (and phosphorus) to sustain yields that are needed to feed people.

> Farming practices were less advanced, and there was a limited understanding of pest and disease management. The lack of resistant varieties meant that pests and diseases could cause substantial yield losses (potato blight for example).

Nope. It's all nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. Modern cultivars are also more adapted to utilizing the higher levels of nitrogen, and they just won't thrive with the starvation-era agricultural practices.

> I believe we stopped developing new methods

Then you're a moron and/or ignorant of what is actually happening.
It's referencing other variables and functions that aren't defined in that snippet. Presumably you can somewhat guess what it's trying to do (call a function for each element of the response), but it doesn't seem like a very good example. I also don't quite understand how this utilises virtual threads effectively, isn't the code still adding the elements of the list one at a time instead of concurrently?
It’s at at most as good of a source but almost certainly worse. Lots of entropy dropped and biases introduced.

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local ... Transport is a small contributor to emissions. For most food products, it accounts for less than 10%, and it’s much smaller for the largest GHG emitters. In beef from beef herds, it’s 0.5%.

BWB aircraft have a few more issues than just a lack of window seats.

They require a higher angle of attack on take-off and landing, and, with passengers sitting much further from the centerline of the aircraft than on a conventional design, passengers are subject to much more g-forces during roll maneuvers.

The second issue can be mitigated by avoiding rolling the aircraft and/or by performing less aggressive rolls, but the first issue is something passengers will just have to deal with if BWB passenger aircraft become a thing.
"Massive"? The intervention group went from a mean AHI of 49 to a mean AHI of 37. While the control group went from 49 to 43. It's something, but it's still very much in the "severe" category, and I wouldn't call it "massive".

Proper CPAP usage would reduce this group's AHI to <2 events/hour.

I would be interested in knowing how this compares to Epic Online Services (EOS). We use EOS for connecting P2P lobbies and doing server browsing.
When using unreal that service is basically free. Managing game servers is of course not part of the EOS package but it's a big question if your game really needs dedicated servers or could do with p2p lobbies. Running your own servers is quite expensive after all.
Also console support is also always a concern for us so whether they check all the boxes so we can use them inside the console ecosystem would be very important to know.

The grid needs more than just big batteries it also needs extremely responsive ones. This is why you see flywheels attached to the grid.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a4889/433775...

The total energy stored is relatively tiny, but devices want a smooth electrical signal not just energy from a wire.

Ideally you want an instant response time and GWh of energy storage on the cheap, but that instead grid operators use many different systems to simulate that.
