The article’s understanding of Java’s Virtual Threads is incorrect. Virtual threads have a preemptive concurrency model, not a co-operative one, so suspension points are not only at calls to things like Future.get()

I really hope Fastmail implements the JMAP spec for calendars and contacts soon. They’ve had the mail part of the spec implemented for a while, but it still requires CardDAV/CalDAV for contacts and calendar access.

Wow, this is a surprise. I was just looking up astro last night, and stumbled upon this theme and started building my blog off of it.

Thanks for making something really nice.

Does Mill plan to have something like Bazel’s Remote Execution?

This looks pretty great. The UI looked fantastic, and the post mentioned that it was open source. However what's open source appears to be the DuckDB extension, which forwards the requests to a remote URL. I've not been able to find the code for the actual UI.

Is the actual UI open source, or is that something MotherDuck is allowing to be used by this while remaining proprietary? Right now it doesn't appear like this would work without an internet connection.

Does this work with Flutter, or does it only work with Android native apps?

Relational databases are not the preferred storage mechanism at Amazon. If a team wants to use an OLTP relational database it’s possible that it will be a decision they will need to defend at any kind of design review.

Of course there are relational databases running OLTP workloads, but it’s far away from the norm. There was a program a while ago to shift many RDBMS systems onto something else.

Seems like Microsoft is intentionally doing a leftpad. One day people are going to wake up and a host of CI pipelines and the like will start failing.

NPM, Maven and other package management systems don't generally allow revoking older libraries for security flaws. The pain from this if it goes through will be felt widely.

Why do you call these other languages “better”? They’re different, but I’m not sure why either of the one’s you mentioned would be better for this use case.

What is the double hack used in OpenHFT? I tried looking this up and came up short.
