Thanks for the recipe! I am also into fermented recipes.

Quick question, where do you buy Habanero Chilis in Germany? I somehow never saw them in supermarkets or "wochenmarkt"s.

It came very close to me. The society of the book was very similar to the society in which I grew up, Soviet Union in 90s.

Some of the lines from the book:

".. the social consience completely dominates the individual conscience, instead of striking a balance with it. We don't cooperate - we obey. We fear being outcast, being called lazy, dysfunctional, egoizing. We fear our neighbor's opinion more than we respect our own freedom of choice."

"No matter what their society's like, some of them must be decent. People vary here, don't they? Are we all perfect Odonians? But in a sick organism, even a healthy cell is doomed."

Marius also has great profile, I am happy user of his libraries (e.g, finagle)!

Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Christian-Cachin/dp/3642152597).

I took a class with Luis Rodrigues (one of the authors), the book introduces the fundamentals of distributed systems. For example, you would build leader election from first principles.

I have similar setup and custom unbound docker container based on distroless.

One suggestion: In unbound use more privacy-centric dns providers. https://www.privacytools.io/providers/dns/

The place in the movie is just near my hometown, old Merv in Turkmenistan.

I remember being fascinated with Pascal program that makes snow fall.

Basically, it was white dots on a blue background in an infinite loop. :)

Recently, my colleagues used Voronoi graphs to show how each player controls the field during a football (soccer) game [0].

I follow several public and private projects that I do not contribute at all. Any time there is a review comment on a pull request from senior devs, I try to check if it is new to me. If so, I note down the problem and suggestions.

Here are some examples:

- Aleks suggested to limit the try to the places where exceptions can be thrown and move everything else out of the try.

- Thomas suggested to use =StringBuilder= instead of =String.format=. The former is faster and more robust.

- Oscar suggested to use a =parameter object= or a =builder= when there are many (more than 3-4) parameters.

Does anyone know how I can convert AST into stream of bytecodes? Are there any good example language implementations to learn?

Coming from there and living in Germany, I wish someday to be able to travel the world possibly with German passport though..

  long moves(int start = 1, int len) {
    assert(len > 0);
    long[] cur = new long[10];
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      cur[i] = 1;
    }
  
    long[] nxt = new long[10];
    while (len-- > 0) {
      nxt[0] = cur[4] + cur[6];
      nxt[1] = cur[8] + cur[6];
      nxt[2] = cur[7] + cur[9];
      nxt[3] = cur[4] + cur[8];
      nxt[4] = cur[3] + cur[9] + cur[0];
      nxt[5] = 0;
      nxt[6] = cur[1] + cur[7] + cur[0];
      nxt[7] = cur[2] + cur[6];
      nxt[8] = cur[1] + cur[3];
      nxt[9] = cur[4] + cur[2];

      for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        cur[i] = nxt[i];
      }
    }
  
    return cur[start];
  }

I occasionally watch streams so far it was very helpful to observe how he makes design decisions, thought process and implementations.

I never read the book, but took a course with author based on this book. It was fun and interesting; covering both basic and advanced concepts in distributed systems.

Using S3 with EMR in production was breeze for us. Even cost effective, since you can play with spot instances depending on your jobs. You also improve utilization of your resources.

With recent Athena it is possible also to do ad hoc queries directly :) Before it required starting "QA" cluster.

Apache Arrow (https://github.com/apache/arrow/) is very interesting and promising project. It is in early state; you can watch the design decisions taken and how they are implemented. Plus it is multi-language project, you can find code in C++, Java and Python.

In Germany, they pay income tax and charge VAT for their services.

The story is that Roxelana (aka Hürrem Sultan) got herself freed and when Süleyman wants her, refuses and tells him "he needs to marry her" since she is not a slave anymore. She was only woman marring a sultan.

His was interesting fact for me also, because it means all sultans are kinda bastards. But a little research shows that children are not considered bastards. Also from religion point of view.

Great read about the beginning of quantum mechanics. I really liked how Lindley depicted thoughts and reactions of great minds to one of controversial topics in physics, quantum mechanics.
