Scala (with ZIO) is still the only language I know that lets me write a fairly complex program with a few unit tests, and then run it without any bugs.

Open a new tab for a certain container with Cmd-1 (or Cmd-Shift-1, I forgot) for the first container in your list, with 2 for the second, etc.

It has been a while since I saw their presentation. What I remember is that Aaron has an insanely low delay even in the high percentiles, that is orders of magnitude better. Throughput for a large stream of data is probably similar to plain UDP. Please correct me if I remember wrong.

With Aaron I would think the focus should be on 'efficiënt', not reliable. Within a datacenter they are orders of magnitude faster than plan UDP. You get this crazy efficiency at the cost of reduced flexibility in how you send messages.

Indeed. Thanks, I stand corrected.

You can convert edge coloring problems into vertex coloring problems and vice versa through a simple O(n) procedure.

This goes against every definition of cloud that I know off. Again proving that 'cloud' means whatever you want it to mean.

I wonder how this compares to H3. Why does H3 has pentagons as well, and this doesn't?

TlDR: Concurrency and pre-fetching gives zio-kafka a higher consumer throughput than the default java Kafka client for most workloads.

Another non scaling field is making houses ready for the energy transition. Here in the Netherlands there is a lot of uncertainty and distrust which requires an almost one-on-one approach for each (owned) house. Only powerful neighborhood initiatives can do this and do well.

You don't need poor schools for that. Just ~3 years ago exactly this happened to a public primary school in a rich neighborhood of Haarlem (The Netherlands). If I remember correctly, the filters had not been replaced for 8 years.

As package maintainer you are required to sign the packages with a PGP key. Maven Central also requires that you upload that PGP key (the public part only of course) to one of a few well-known key servers.
