Swift Package Indexing39: Stress testing dependency managementIt's 2024, and Dave and Sven are back to talk plans for the Swift Package Index development over the coming year. They also talk about a light-hearted but also accidentally disastrous recent event in the npm package ecosystem, plans around how the Swift Package Index will approach Swift 6 support, and of course more package recommendations!

Confluent Developer ft. Tim Berglund, Adi Polak & Viktor GamovOptimizing Apache JVMs for Apache KafkaJava Virtual Machines (JVMs) impact Apache Kafka® performance in production. How can you optimize your event-streaming architectures so they process more Kafka messages using the same number of JVMs? Gil Tene (CTO and Co-Founder, Azul) delves into JVM internals and how developers and architects can use Java and optimized JVMs to make real-time data pipelines more performant and more cost effective, with use cases.Gil has deep roots in Java optimization, having started out building large data centers for parallel processing, where the goal was to get a finite set of hardware to run the largest possible n...

Elixir MixChallenges of Scaling and Choosing the Right Tool with Simon Zelazny - EMx 177In this episode Simon Zelazny joins the mix to talk about his experience in scaling an Elixir and Phython based service to meet a once-in-a-blue-moon demand scenario. The panel and him discuss the challenges in finding the relevant bottlenecks in non-trivial software systems - and BEAM applications in particular - and what options there are to fix those.They also discuss pragmatism in the context of software development, and how we as software developers are not paid to write pretty code but to solve business problems, which might also mean to choose NOT to build on top of the BEAM...

Software Engineering Radio - the podcast for professional software developersSE-Radio Episode 277: Gil Tene on Tail LatencyGil Tene joins Robert Blumen for a discussion of tail latency. What is latency? What is "tail latency"? Why are the upper percentiles of latency more relevant to humans? How is human interaction with an application influenced by tail latency? What are the economics of tail latency? What are the origins of tail latency within a system? What is the difference between response time and service time? How does queuing within a system contribute to response time? Java garbage collection and its contribution to latency outliers. How can we build systems with bounded tail latency out of components with...

RARE SOUL Productions PodcastEpisode 6: ELEVATIONOn April 15, 2011, CoLab (an inter-disciplinary arts cooperative), and Zhou B Art Center put on an extraordinary evening of experimentation, elegance, excitement, energy and “ELEVATION”! The brainchild of Kahil El’ Zabar, the internationally renowned percussionist and composer, sensational installation artist, Lucy Slivinski, and the stellar fashion designer, Agnieszka Kulon, ELEVATION was a night I was honored to be a part of. This week's podcast features songs from the set I played at this landmark event in Chicago.
