My new blog post, Memoirs of the Early #Internet, unearths a few relics of the early Internet and #UUCP days from some obscure sites.

Researching cool things a person can do with #asynchronous #email over #NNCP (#NNCPNET) led me down that path. So while you're there, you can also check out the post about the NNCPNET Internet email gateway. changelog.complete.org/archive

🎭 To block or not to block, that is the question.

Let’s suppose we have a stream of events and a pull consumer. The consumer has two methods to fetch: the first is gonna block until it receives something, and the second has a timeout to unblock. My personal rule of thumb is:

- if you need to synchronously consume a single event then process it: use the blocking one, as you’re using the stream like a FIFO queue.
- if you need to fetch ‘n’ events: use the non-blocking one, you might have no warranty that the stream contains (or is able to send) the expected amount of events.

I'm learning just a tad-bit about #AMD ( #asynchronous #module #dependencies ) and #RequireJS. I've always been too retarded to do anything with #Webpack, because it needs to be running server-side as well as clientside in the browser (I think). Dependencies bundled together in real time, at the server side, plus whatever minifier and obfuscation they decide to add.

With RequireJS, it just needs to find static JS files in the URL folder structure it expects. So you can use really any webserver.

🎉 **Finally finished my #freeCodeCamp cash register project!** 🎉

This one was a real challenge, but with the support of several amazing people, persistence, and some thorough Web searches, I got it done! This has been the hardest project yet, but now I’m 4/5 of the way through the #JavaScript certification! 🙌

Next up is a project that will dive into #asynchronous programming. Here’s what I’ll be tackling:

**Project: Learn Asynchronous Programming by Building an fCC Forum Leaderboard**
*Status: Not started*

JavaScript is an asynchronous programming language, and this project will help me gain proficiency in asynchronous concepts. I’ll be coding my own freeCodeCamp forum leaderboard. 🚀

This project will cover:
- The Fetch API
- Promises
- Async/Await
- The try..catch statement

I’m making so much progress and learning a lot! Sometimes it feels frustrating when things take longer to understand, but I know that every step is part of the journey. 💪✨

The Matrix Rust SDK now provides a room list that is sorted on the client-side instead of server-side, github.com/matrix-org/matrix-r.

It has landed in Element X iOS nightly and soon on Android.

I’m going to publish blog posts to explain all the technical details but it’s really pretty neat!

Yes we have #Java #Future interfaces for #async #asynchronous processing - but did you know the #IBM #Mainframe can do the same now? In java - sure - but also in #Cobol?

I just did the test for #CICS and I passed.

It is the last part of my trip to see how the mainframe evolved since I used it 1989-1992.

Now it is #Java, #Jenkins, ... #vscode

And Java #Mockito works well with #IBMZ! The hell froze over. IBM Z and open systems!

The "new" thing is that COBOL can do async calls since 2017!

There is a mostly forgotten #Python package called #Twisted on which I learned #asynchronous #programming and have never stopped using. I remain a fan, continuing to use it very productively to oversee some heavy multicore number crunching. A pipeline of requests being met with maybe-deferred results from dispatched jobs. Sixteen CPU cores, baby.

Anyhow, @glyph and @itamarst I just wanted to show my appreciation for the work you guys did bringing us this outstanding framework over a decade ago.
