Normcore LLM Reads

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

Brooklyn Proposal - Managing Entity Resources

Brooklyn Proposal

Managing Entity Resources

Pull request #528 - Make copyResource and copyTemplate usable by all entity drivers - allows all entities to take advantage of features that were previously present in only the TomcatServer and QpidBroker drivers. It deprecates the copyFile(...) methods and adds copyResource(String, String), copyResources(Map) and other convenience resource handling methods. This makes resources specified as URI strings the preferred mechanism for describing file content that is required by entities at install- or run-time.

Entities can now:

  • Pull HTTP resources at the remote location, rather than downloading them locally and transferring across with sftp

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

Moog Google Doodle

Moog Google Doodle

anigbrowl — 23 May 2012

Posted this earlier today when it turned up on google.com.au, but the thread had falled off the front page by the time I posted it. I thought people might find this interesting now that it's back.

The doodle is reminiscent of a Minimoog, but with several simplifications to make programming easier and more musical.
