1. The Hidden Cost of Java Virtual Threads: Deep Stacks, GC Pressure, and Cache Locality (David Vlijmincx)

    A practical look at what happens when you push Java Virtual Threads in the wrong direction: how unmounting copies stacks to the heap, triggers OutOfMemoryErrors, pressures the Garbage Collector, and hurts CPU cache locality.

  3. The Big Idea: Stephanie Feldman (Whatever)

    With fall in full swing and that crisp chill in the air, it’s the perfect opportunity to cuddle up with author Stephanie Feldman’s newest collection of short fiction, The Night Parade and Other Stories. Light a fall candle and follow along in her Big Idea for these spooky tales. STEPHANIE FELDMAN: As a collection, The Night Parade and Other Stories asked me to approach the question of the Big Idea backwards. Not “What Big Idea do I want to tackle?” but “What Big Idea ties these stories…

  4. Imagine The Pritzkers Chopping Their Rothko (greg.org)

    Near the end of her video tour of the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield, Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker describes the geographically snychronized landscape wallpaper she and her husband commissioned for the dining room. And on the west wall is the Mississippi River. Édouard Manet, The Execution of Maximilian, mostly, at the National Gallery in London When tumblr user @bellafarallones toured the mansion, the guide said the painting above was by Mark Rothko, from the Pritzkers’ own collection,…

  5. Being more explicit with the limited AI usage in my blog posts' content (Jamie Tanna)

    I don't want to read lengthy blog posts that have been spat out by a Large Language Model (LLM), because the author hasn't felt they want to write the words to share their point. I'm not going to rehash why that's (generally) a bad thing, as a lot of brilliant writers like Bryan Cantrill have written eloquently on the topic. What is important is that I don't want my readers to feel they're needing to work out what of my content is AI-assisted, and so I want to make it super explicit assisted -…

  8. The Witch Family (Jestress's Forgotten Books and Stories)

    The Witch Family by Eleanor Estes, 1960. Amy and Clarissa are best friends. They’re about 7 years old and live in Washington, DC. They like to draw pictures and play games of imagination, and one day, they banish Old Witch, who is the head of all the witches, to a house on a glass hill by drawing a picture of the Witch House on the glass hill. They banish her to the hill for her meanness and for eating rabbits (her favorite food), but they relent a little when they consider that Halloween won’t…

  10. Faversham revisited - Pt. 2 (Paul's Beer & Travel Blog)

    Next up was the Anchor, a pub that wasn’t on my original list, but I’m pleased now that I took a punt on this lengthy oak-beamed building that is over 300 years old. Situated close to the quayside and boat moorings at Faversham Creek, I’m fairly certain that I hadn’t visited this nautical themed establishment before on previous visits to Faversham. From the outside, the pub looks like three different buildings joined into one, and I suppose it may well havebeen, at one stage during the past.…

  11. assorted journaling questions (Imperfect)

    Suf's Burn all my journals if I die and homepage copy inspired me to type out a bunch of questions on the topic: How do your physical and digital footprints differ? How much more brilliant can your life be if you choose to continue to journal for the rest of it? If the worst that the entirety of your life can be treated as is "garbage", how much upside does that leave? Are you regularly discovering what loved ones would care about reading from your private thoughts after you're gone? How would…

  12. Comic Strip History - Popeye, Spinach, and Popeye Spinach (Blog.Arkholt)

    Popeye the Sailor has had an immense influence on both American culture and world culture, and it would be easy for me to write an entire blog series focused solely all the ways he has done so (just take a look at the list on Wikipedia). I don't plan to write about all of those things, of course, but there are some stand outs that I would like to tackle. I thought it would be best to start with the one thing that everyone who knows anything about Popeye knows that he loves to eat: spinach. It's…

  13. “You Can See Everything” (Quomodocumque)

    I don’t feel like writing a whole dissertation about this but I’ll just say that this is the first time I can remember saying “Oh my God,” out loud, multiple times, while watching a movie in a theater. Some people have asked if you need to be familiar with the story of Elizabeth Holmes to watch this movie. I don’t think so. I’m not familiar with the Holmes/Theranos story beyond the bare basics. This movie is almost entirely not about that story; or at least that’s how it plays if you don’t know…

    "Can I go into your heart?" A girl (Arabella Olivia Clark) is targeted by some demon that tries to take over her heart by shapeshifting into her mother (Jessica Chastain). As the family realise what is happening they must rid the house of the monster. We’re here for the Something Strange book club again; having read the book counterpart Incidents Around the House it’s time to watch the film. Which is out now in all good cinemas near you. I probably wouldn’t bother though. I’m not a total hater…

    I don’t often write negative reviews. Please understand this. One of my Arcade regulars from last year’s RinCon asked me to run Elder Mythos specifically. I adore Mana Project Studio’s generic storygame Not The End, liked Cowboy Bebop, their upcoming Ghost in the Shell RPG looks nice, and I had backed this, so…sure, why not? I’m not a huge fan of the Lovecraftian Mythos but I enjoyed Lovecraftesque last year. Elder Mythos Available in PDF from DriveThruGames. The physical box is available from…

  16. Happy To See Rays Versus Brewers World Series (ScatterSplatter - Blog)

    I am happy to see that this year’s World Series will be the Rays versus the Brewers. As one would expect I would sure prefer the Phillies to be in the finals, but they were ass this year and did not deserve it. Part of me still held out hope that it would wind up being the Phillies and the Rays. If things had gone that way we were going to put a serious effort in going to Florida. Baseball wasn’t the main reason for that trip though. The Brewers and the Rays played good baseball the entire…

    If you’ve installed Zerto for HPE Morpheus / HVM (VM Essentials), you know the appliance doesn’t show up as a nice single OVA you point a wizard at. Zerto for HVM ships as a zip of qcow2 disks and the documentation has you build everything around those disks by hand in Morpheus. That process seems… The post zDeploy: a one-binary wizard for deploying the Zerto appliance on HPE HVM appeared first on Justin's IT Blog.

  18. Tuesday Thoughts 11 (An Almost Anonymous Blog)

    I had the realization this afternoon: I can tell when I'm not feeling 100%, whether it's illness or (as I'm experiencing now) back pain. If I'm sick, my tendency is to not want to eat until I'm on the mend. At that point, I'll try to eat everything — that's how I know I'm starting to feel better. When I have back pain or not feeling 100% mentally, I feel like eating any kind of junk I can think of. That's what's happening today. My back is bothering me (but thankfully it's minor, I'm not…

  19. Attention Neopets kids (Laura Michet)

    I've spent the last few days playing an open beta of a uh... a website... a game that is a website... called Dog Online. It is extraordinarily good at replicating the exact impact that Neopets had on me as a child. Dog Online does not have a lot of content right now and definitely is a beta. You should be normal about it if you check it out. I was debating whether I should post about it at all... it does seem like it would not benefit from too many attention laser beams pointed at it. But I did…

  20. Maybe Don't ‘Kill the old’ (Philipp D. Dubach)

    Back in 2009, FT Alphaville’s Tracy Alloway published a piece with the admirably unsubtle headline “Kill the old”. Its inspiration was Long or Short Capital’s “Short Class Warfare; Long Age Warfare”, which argued that the important economic conflict was between people enjoying the present and people being volunteered to finance it. Alloway supplied the following grievance list: unaffordable homes, student debt, disappearing defined-benefit pensions and the prospect of paying for everyone else’s…

  22. Snowy Love. (languagehat.com)

    I recently had the chance to see Nizhalkuthu (നിഴൽക്കുത്ത്, Shadow Kill); I think it’s my first movie in Malayalam, so I kept my linguist hat on as I watched, and one repeated word was സ്നേഹം (snēhaṁ) ‘love.’ Once the movie was over I looked it up, and was astonished to learn that its source, Sanskrit स्नेह॑ (snéha) ‘oil, grease, fat; smoothness, glossiness; moisture; tenderness, love’ is from Proto-Indo-European *snóygʷʰos ‘snow’! That’s one of the more unusual semantic transitions I’m aware…

  23. Response to Paolo Pedercini's stance on AI usage (videodante)

    This is a response to Paolo Pedercini (MolleIndustria)'s blog post explaining his usage of AI in his game, Future? No Thanks! I, like others, was incredibly disappointed to read this from a developer who I have, in the past, looked up to as a politically astute gamemaker. I think this post is founded on a left-conservative political error that often comes up in these sort of discussions. It is the sort of error that I would not expect from a developer who, in the past, has demonstrated a keen…

  24. Good blogkeeping: Shutting down my companion Facebook page (Down the Road)

    You may or may not know that there’s a companion Facebook page for this site. You can see it here. But do it soon, because in the coming days I’m shutting it down. Facebook has decided that Pages need to pay to share more than two hyperlinks per month. I share six per week. To keep doing that, I’d have to sign up for a paid tier that costs $500 per month. The ROI doesn’t remotely work out — so few people click my links on Facebook that not getting those clicks anymore will have near zero effect…
