Event sourced persistent actors in cluster mode is where it's at!
yenwel··on Theory P: The Philosophy of Managing Programmers
I've been compared to a race horse by my previous boss... This is just an echo from a generation that is holding on to power but lack the digital skills. It's like analphabetics being editors of a newsroom. This phenomenon will die out.
yenwel··on Event Sourcing is Hard
If you want to do event sourcing. Look at persistent actors from akka (jvm and clr). It solve a lot of feaures as discussed here with replay, snapshotting, event upgrades etc.

yenwel··on Targeted advertising has become the norm on the internet, and it's hurting us
You have no idea how publishers are hurting financially because of the monopolized (google and facebook) market of internet advertisement is tanking. It's a bit like farmers cursing larger distributors and retailers for taxing at 200% for a gateway to consumers.

yenwel··on Linus Torvalds apologizes for his behavior, takes time off
"In accomplished leaders, we often mistake vices for virtues.

Steve Jobs succeeded in spite of his cruelty, not because of it.

Every great leader has flaws. What defines a truly good leader is the humility to recognize them and the courage to rise above them."

yenwel··on Secret Life of an Autistic Stripper
Autism is a problem with cognitive empathy (understanding and recognizing emotions in one self and others). Versus sociopathy and other dark triads which have a problem with affective empathy (experiencing an mirror emotion to the emotion of others). The latter makes sociopaths able to exploit people around them (recognizing emotions and no bad feeling exploiting it). You can also miss both but these will be severely ineffective interacting and being accepted by society (in extreme low functioning sociopaths like serial killers and mass murderers). Highly intelligent and/or sensitive people have the ability to process large amounts of information ("detailism" in a negative tone). They have complex emotions, mixed with their environment whereas less sensitive people have more control of how to filter the input of their environment. So highly sensitive and intelligent have a lot of input from technical information but also complex social situations (over thinking it). This makes it highly tiring to work in large social groups (vs extraverted people) and leads to isolating to small social groups (introversion) and diving deep in a limited subject of interest to limit this input. I posit that so called high functioning autists are not socially blind but actually very receptive for all kinds of information including social cues and emotions of their environment, overwhelming them. See the work by Simon Baron-Cohen.
yenwel··on Secret Life of an Autistic Stripper
I think high functioning autism is just a DSM-isation (label as disease) of people with high introversion, neurotism and/or disagreeableness. Read "The silent power of introverts" by Susan Cain. People are people. We all evolved traits to fill our biological niche. Highly vocal people with little fears (extraverted and neurotypical) are just that: more "confident" and vocal about how great they are. Corporate sociopaths will say you have a too high feeling for justice to silence you. Realize that this is your strength to realize what is ethical and a blind spot for them and their greatest weakness. Dark triad people will black/white label to control you since you are more prone to be sensitive and isolated. You have to realize that your greatest strength is your greatest weakness. That counts for every person where ever on the spectrum. As highly sensitive individual you are just more focused on the negative of your (in)ability to function in a certain biological niche. You are also more realistic of your and other people's abilities and talents (Dunning–Kruger effect). You are a animal on the savanna that is sensitive to the sounds of the predator approaching. And you survive. And the cycle continues.

yenwel··on PowerBuilder History, Powersoft History (2004)
I hate powerbuilder with a passion.
yenwel··on Goldman Sachs questions whether curing patients is a sustainable business model
On the one hand you have a company who's business model depends on milking patients on chronic treatments. On the other hand you have a company that is able to develop a permanent cures for that disease. Guess which company is a threat to which company (hint: if there are no longer sick patients to milk you no longer have a business model).
yenwel··on The largest known prime number has emerged. It has more than 23M digits
Because nobody knows a fast algorithm to factorize an integer into its prime factors. Yet, it is very easy to check if a set of prime factors multiply to a certain integer.
