One aspect of virtual threads that has gone somewhat unappreciated so far is that if you (ab)use some internal APIs you can probably implement the testing technique used by FoundationDB.

For those who don't know, FoundationDB is a horizontally scalable transactional (KV) database used by Apple for their cloud services. It's famous primarily for its testing approach in which they can run the entire set of microservices in a simulator that can both inject faults, but also completely control the scheduling of work. In this way they make the system entirely deterministic, and can then pseudo-randomize simulations to uncover race conditions and the like.

To do this they created a custom DSL on top of C++ called Flow which is compiled to coroutines.

Flow and what it enables is considered (by them at least) to be a key competitive advantage over other database engines.

With Loom the JVM now happens to support the very same thing, just not officially. That's because the JVM makes file and network IO fully "pluggable", virtual threads can be supplied with a custom scheduler, and classloaders can be used to run multiple programs within the same JVM (with some caveats). So if you wanted to make a deterministic simulation of your microservice based system then you could do that now.

The above would be a rather advanced project for intrepid developers only, but it'd be interesting to see someone explore that at some point.
Stuff looks different on the web everywhere, yet people know how to find their way around without any problems. On the web, Facebook has a different shape and color of login button than Gmail, but nobody's complaining.

One can use more than 2 decimal places for rates, but final invoicing has to be two decimal places (atleast in most countries). Banks/tax authorities dont carry anything beyond 2 decimal.

Eg: fuel is usually priced 3 decimal, so 4 gallons x 25.5444 usd/gallon gives = $102.1776 to 4 dp, but will be billed as $102.18

This seems likely, but from what I've been hearing from game devs, the issue isn't the increased fees so much as the fact that they retroactively changed licensing. That they did this (again, after promising not to the last time) indicates that regardless of what the fees actually are, you'd be a fool to enter into a business relationship with them.

Should the people who work at & run companies have freedom of association? Yes, I think they should. There are narrow exceptions for things like utilities, where a monopoly is the only sane way to run the service (we can't have 12 separate gas/power/water/sewer/phone/internet lines run to every house), but that situation doesn't apply to an Internet video hosting company.

We already have a well-established mechanism for reigning in companies that are too powerful: anti-trust law. All we need to do is enforce it.

Yep, I agree. I tend to be a type system maximalist: I'd rather have everything that is possible to encode statically be encoded statically, even if it leads to less flexibility later.

If you're starting a new Java codebase from scratch, you can create the structure where the language doesn't using classes, but it'd be nice to have syntactic support for it.

It's even better than that. Unless you are incredibly rural or the street is tiny, most streets have at least two postcodes - one for the odd side and one for the even side. In most cases, there's only about 15-30 houses in a postcode, any more on a road and it's split up into smaller chunks.

Of course! My comment was not about software since I'm no programmer, but about progress in the general sense. Why don't the people who are involved and take decisions within large civic projects get bored with the slow rate of progress. Like after they've stolen maybe a few millions for themselves and their friends, why not get on with it and actually start working? Is it necessary to stall progress for years and decades just for the joy of stealing? At least when it comes to IT, the rulers have very few means available for them to stall progress in general, so it becomes very obvious when they're doing it within the places they can control.
And they are simply unable to reliably release Linux drivers

A few tangential questions:

Assuming services are available and accessible on a voluntary basis, what is the success rate for overcoming major substance abuse or mental health issues?

How does that success rate change with various levels of coercion?

Assuming the success rate is fairly low, that still leaves a lot of people with substance abuse or mental health problems. What is the right thing to do for them? Independent housing is one option but wouldn't some kind of institution make more sense?

If someone's main problem is homelessness and some minor criminal behavior, I can imagine that free housing could turn their situation around quickly. But only if it's a safe environment around similarly-situated people.

The financial systems you've used never needed to add two numbers together?
"Since 1960, the income gap between the North and South has roughly tripled in size. Today 4.3 billion people, 60 per cent of the world's population, live on less than $5 per day. The richest eight people now control the same amount of wealth as the poorest half of the world combined.

What is causing this growing divide? We are told that poverty is a natural phenomenon that can be fixed with aid. But in reality it is a political problem: poverty doesn’t just exist, it has been created."

Is the "income gap" measured in absolute terms or as a ratio? If incomes in say the U.S. and India rise 10% and 30% over some time period, the absolute income gap could rise while falling if expressed as a ratio. In general, poverty has been the experience of most people in most countries historically. Instead of blaming the countries and the people that have risen out of poverty, look at how they did it. It was not primarily exploitation of other countries.

The author blames trade, but South Korea is integrated into world trade while North Korea is not, and there is a huge difference in their average living standards.
Not everyone can or wants to ride a bike everywhere. Stop this fallacious thinking. Many people don’t care about and will never care about using bikes, nor should they be forced to.

I also have no interest in waiting around for a subway car. It’s nice to just hop into my car and get to my destination (most within 15 minutes of my home) and get back. I don’t have time to wait around or ride a bike in the rain.

The entire northern suburbs in my city have been designed around my “evil” car beliefs. It’s worked so well that our city population keeps declining and my area just keeps adding more and more houses and businesses.

I recently acquired a CRT with component and S-video in and went on a minor bender snatching up cables to improve video quality.

Your thinking is very common in Germany. It is correct in a primitive sense: change is costly. But it misses an additional layer of thinking, which is that not changing is even more costly sometimes. The problem was not that the company was happily using Excel and VBA, it is that the process was clunky and required expensive humans in the middle. If it could be easily automated in Python, it could also have been easily automated somehow else, and that change was worth exploring.

With your logic, Germany has justified maintaining fax machines and printing online forms. Embracing change is an uncomfortable process, but not doing that is even worse.

> trading off a small amount of convenience to gain a large amount of safety
Well you seem to be confusing "what is good art" and "what is art". I vehemently disagree with saying 4:33 or the banana "isn't art", this sounds like a very narrow definition which I struggle to imagine.

I have more sympathy for the claim that it's not "good art", not particularly interesting or meaningful.

With regard to the banana I tend to agree. This was just a small provocating artpiece which doesn't bring anything to the table and is unlikely to be discussed much in ten years, let alone 70.

4:33 however is still very much discussed 70 years later and will continue to be, and that may be because it's not just a random joke but fits within the work of an important composer (John Cage) which contributed significantly to the artistic debate of what "is" music, at a time where this question was suddenly much less clear than it had been in the past (i.e. the same piece today would be much less meaningful).
Almost in talk like a pirate day. It would have been really appropriate.
Yes but Java is not Haskell.

If you want a monadic IO on the JVM, Scala offers two ecosystems with extremely capable effect systems, providing highly performant runtimes and good (but not perfect) ergonomics.

I've always found async/await bolted on older, mostly imperative OO languages with exceptions to be pretty disappointing. Even modern designs on languages with proper error handling like Rust get their fair share of criticism.

I get that virtual threads will probably introduce surprising bugs and performance issues in some corner cases. But it also removes a whole lot of craziness in the Java ecosystem, namely reactive programming.
That isn’t limited to maps, but applies to all models of reality, such as Newtonian physics, spherical cows, models of the economy that are used to guide policy or large language models.

Also, oftentimes creators of models do not know what details are necessary for a model’s purpose, and may omit ones they aren’t aware of.

I understand thal LLVM implements the C++11 memory model, which specifies the termination requirements for non-side effects loops.
It feels like that's coupling some concerns together. Functions that do IO are more likely to fail, yes, but that doesn't have to do with their async-ness or their slowness.

Interestingly, I had my first real world encounter with the other end of the carbon credits just two days ago. A friend of mine told me she had tried to get her neighbours (she lives in the woods) to apply for carbon credit grants in unison. They promise not to chop down their trees and/or to protect endangered plants on their properties, and get paid a certain amount by the Mexican government (obviously nowhere near what they'd get from chopping down and selling their trees...)
I'm an atheist and most of my neighborhood is too, but my neighbor is a large church. They do end up serving more than their base, which includes our neighborhood, because this particular church views themselves as a member of the community. Residents are able to call the church, coordinate events, etc... my point is, churches can be a third place to more than just the religious, but that's a choice.

It's fine to break backwards compatibility when introducing an entirely new feature across a major version, actually. What's even the point of a major version bump?
I'm able to view the article by clicking the link [0] which goes to [1]. I don't know if this differs for you, or I could be missing something.

As I acknowledged, the article is about COP versus temperature. I know don't enough about the state of the art to know whether the article is making a real contribution, or whether it's just some kind of marketing fluff dressed up in academic trappings. Much of the article is spent on repeating feel-good generalities, which is why I'm considering the latter.

My main point is that the headline is completely unsupported by the original article. In order to compare heat pump efficiency to a gas boiler efficiency, you have to compare end to end gas->heat, like say a gas power plant powering a heat pump. Looking at the nameplate efficiencies of electricity->heat from a heat pump, and gas->heat of a boiler is fallacious, because electricity is a much more concentrated form of energy.

I do believe these numbers have gotten pretty close, which is why such an article would be interesting, but this ain't it.

Whiteboard Design Pattern
> I think he correctly diagnosed that getting money out of politics is foundational to being able to make any sort of other lasting progress.

No, its intermediary. Electoral reform (which doesn't require federal Constitutional reform and can be done by voter initiative in many states) foundational, because the breadth and depth of support by politicians for Cobstitutional reform necessary to deal with money in Congress is intractable otherwise.

> I don't know why Democrat voters don't see that as the obvious direction that needs to be pursued to the exclusion of all else.

Because enough Democratic voters understand why it is politically intractable currently (even if they don't always understand or live in states where they can do much about the steps for changing that), and because “to the exclusion of all else" is dumb, as there are lots of less intractable important problems and lots of irremediable harms that will be inflicted if other issues are neglected in a quixotic effort at finance reform.
