Vassil Nikolov<p>An easy question about internet message headers (RFC 822 and subsequent revisions).</p><p>Take a message thread where each reply has a single parent message.<br>Such a thread is often shown as a tree, linking replies by their `References' header fields.<br>Why does _each_ such field contain _all_ parent message ids up to the "root" message of the thread?<br>Wouldn't the id just of the parent message be enough, as in the `In-Reply-To' header field?</p><p><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/DistributedSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DistributedSystems</span></a><br><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/InternetMessages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternetMessages</span></a><br><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareEngineering</span></a></p>

henomis<p>🎭 To block or not to block, that is the question.</p><p>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:</p><p>- 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.<br>- 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.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/asynchronous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asynchronous</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/distributedsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distributedsystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/developerslife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>developerslife</span></a></p>

Smarter heads should check power transfer pathways between source and load in #datacenters serving #AI:

What kind of priority for energy distribution to #industrial users has been/would be given in an emerging #disaster; does this priority exacerbate conditions on the ground?

Is there a way, perhaps, to turn it on its head, and have those data centers be part of a #distributedsystems power back-up?

More is coming. More disaster, and more AI (assessed without AI).

does anyone know of examples of network protocols that cannot easily be specified or thought of simply as instances of 1:1 protocols?

with TCP based protocols this question seems mostly moot, since everything boils down to the connection abstraction; but maybe some protocols are more easily specified not .. that way?

or perhaps there are UDP protocols not easily specified as a bunch of instances of 1:1 protocols?
