Fibers

Fibers are an abstraction over sequential computation, similar to threads but at a higher level. There are two ways to think about this model: by example, and abstractly from first principles. We'll start with the example.

(credit here is very much due to Fabio Labella, who's incredible Scala World talk describes these ideas far better than I can)

Callback Sequentialization

Consider the following three functions

puffnfresh

public class FP
{
  public static <A> A identity (A a)
  {
    return a;
  }
  public static <A, B> A constant (A a, B b)
  {
    return a;
  }

foldRight' ::
  (b -> z -> z)
  -> (a -> b)
  -> z
  -> [a]
  -> z
foldRight' _ _ z [] =
  z
foldRight' k f z (x:xs) =
  k (f x) (foldRight' k f z xs)

Thread Pools

Thread pools on the JVM should usually be divided into the following three categories:

1. CPU-bound
2. Blocking IO
3. Non-blocking IO polling

Each of these categories has a different optimal configuration and usage pattern.

1. Mastering Functions

A function is a mapping from one set, called a domain, to another set, called the codomain. A function associates every element in the domain with exactly one element in the codomain. In Scala, both domain and codomain are types.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
