Important to watch. Not only Lebanon, the entire middle east once had a majority of Christians. Over the last 150 years their numbers dwindled from 20% to 5%. As a recent report titled "Christians In The Middle East: A Persecuted And Forgotten People – Analysis" (https://lnkd.in/dK5zAufV) states, "Christian communities in many Muslim countries experienced persecution, massacres and even genocide." In fact, "The only country in the region with a growing Christian community is Israel, where the Christian population grew by 1.4% in 2020. Christians in Israel benefit from the only functioning democracy in the Middle East because their religious freedom as much as guaranteed. According to the Israel Bureau of Statistics from December 2021, 84% of Christians surveyed said they were satisfied with life in Israel. Another report, "Tiny Religious Minorities in the Middle East: The Case of the Bahai, Druze and Yazidi Minorities" (https://lnkd.in/dnRbBAQz) describes the fate of other minority religions in the middle east, the Bahai, Druze and Yazidis. "Each one of these communities had encountered an existential threat to its survival or genocide at one point or more throughout its history, and all of them are considered heretic movements by radical Islamist groups." This is how Radical Islam operates, and this methodical use of violence , backed by hateful and false rhetoric, and funded by countries such as Iran and Qatar, is now being exported to Europe and the USA. It is important that everyone understands this modus operandi, and that the citizens and governments of the free world, those who want to make planet earth a safe and prosperous place for all mankind, will unite and stand together to stop it.

I'll be speaking at GOTO Chicago next Tuesday, 2024-10-24, on JVM performance techniques in Jepsen: https://lnkd.in/dZWviHim Jepsen is a Clojure library for testing distributed systems correctness. We'll talk about how Jepsen records and analyzes histories of up to a billion operations with the help of a new file format, faster lazy and persistent data structures, bit-packing, memory-adaptive caching, associative folds, and thread-safe transactional executors. Come learn about some of the lesser-known corners of the JVM and how to write faster, more efficient programs in any language. This talk will benefit intermediate to advanced engineers interested in performance optimization, parallelism, and medium-sized datasets, while also offering insights valuable to both beginners and senior engineers.

Microservices get a bad rap due to complexity and high TCO. A lot of that is because a microservice-based application works the same way as a bunch of dominoes falling. If one misses, or falls out of order, the whole workflow stops. And you have no control over the process once your microservices start ping-ponging events and RPC's back and forth. That's why #microservices are so expensive to manage. Great blog post below by Colt McNealy about how LittleHorse can solve those problems. Give it a read. https://lnkd.in/gJECBwRu

This article from Jinsung Choi discussed about the dApps. Beside the rApps (non-real-time functionalities) and xApss (near-real-time functionalities), he describes about the dApss (distributed applications for real-time inference and control). #OpenRAN #dApps Richard Matias

Gosh. Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) related to an asset that is a promised slice of the profits of OpenAI related to this investment round once profits start to happen. So, that is what investors will hold (a digital token) in return for their money. I guess the investor sees the opportunity for quick returns through the selling on of NFTs once projections reliably show future large profits. But persistent low to medium projections would not encourage that outcome and the investor is stuck with long term low to medium yield. See below.

In Domain-Driven Design (DDD), a bounded context is a logical boundary within which a specific domain model is defined and applicable. It ensures that the terms, definitions, and rules are consistent and clear within that boundary, facilitating better communication and understanding among team members. By dividing a large system into multiple bounded contexts, DDD helps manage complexity and maintain a unified language within each context. https://lnkd.in/gfZrrJ49
