I am happy to announce the open sourcing of unify-simple-decision-table, a simple and straightforward Java implementation of a decision table. It is simple, easy to use and just about as powerful as can be but thankfully no more. It provides most of the standard out of box functionality of a decision table. You can find the details of the same here:

We have been using it with great success internally in American Express and I hope it benefits the community in the same way. Please feel free to go through the documentation and provide feedback. Thanks for your support.

@kai_fall With respect, I beg to differ. One of the point of an abstraction is to hide the details which are NOT so important for the outside world.

[Deepak Arora @DeepakAroraHi]

@shl Throw namespaces in the mix too.

@yacineMTB You can also use while true construct with break

@DGukesh As a senior I will only advise you to stay away from adventure and risky activities. You are now a representative of a nation with the hope, dreams and aspirations of a lot of people behind you.

@PlanetOfMemes This is a great time!

@Im_goodthanks @mmpadellan @SCash28251 What he means to say is all those who dont agree with him or voted for him are nazis and sex offenders. Lol.

[Deepak Arora @DeepakAroraHi]

@rfleury Use while true break construct. Much cleaner and easier to read.

@CaliLogicalMind @NbergWX 1935, 1988 and 2005 storms had lower pressure than this. And god knows how many before that. So how come this is due to climate change?

@VicVijayakumar I am so sorry to hear this. I had retina detachment when I was 23. That was 30 years ago. Got scheral buckling surgery with cryo. Nowadays they do more of laser with surgery. You will be fine. Take care.

The junior dev asked the senior dev “why are you pushing this code with no abstraction? What if you want to change it in the future?”

The senior dev responded “then I will change it in the future”

In that moment the junior dev was enlightened

For the last four months I have vastly restricted my consumption of processed white carbohydrates. You know, hamburger buns, wheat thins, candy bars, etc. I eat anything else I want, including meat, cheese, nuts, salad, etc. what’s more, I eat as much as I want. I am not counting or restricting calories.

I have lost twenty three pounds and am still losing. My blood pressure has fallen back to normal.

For most of that time I have worn a dexcom to track my glucose. I’ve learned a lot.

For example: one half of a burger bun will spike my glucose. My insulin response is good and the spike falls back within an hour. But then those stored carbs are gradually released usually starting the next morning and I see 12 hours or so of elevated glucose.

Bottom line, even a moderately small consumption of white carbs wrecks the next full day of weight loss.

If I eat more carbs than that, it takes several hours for my insulin response to sequester all that sugar, and then the next several days are dominated by the slow release of all those stored carbs.

An hour long bike ride pulls those carbs down a lot; but if too much has been stored they come right back up when the ride is over.

Bottom line: even a small carb binge will wreck weight loss for days and overwhelm the effects of exercise.

If I eat a stir fry with a few noodles, I’ll see a brief spike, and an equally brief insulin response but no significant rise the next day; and the reduction of carbs induced by a bike ride remains long lasting.

@Jonathan_Blow My intellij for java does not have them. Miss them so much.

Amazon AWS S3 is probably the largest filesystem in the world, storing 250-1000 Exabytes of data and 100M qps.

Andy Warfield wrote about building this by distributing "heat" with Reed-Solomon erasure coding, Rust-based formal verification and more.

Must-read for engineers.
