Enshittification has become the winning strategy for companies. If you don’t enshittify you will lose.

OP is about Github. Have you seen the Github uptime monitor? It’s at 90% [1] for the last 90 days. I use both Codeberg and Github a lot and Github has, by far, more problems than Codeberg. Sometimes I notice slowdowns on Codeberg, but that’

They aren’t. They do have made their IT such that they can move very easily. If the Swiss government will pass worse privacy laws, Proton said they will move to Norway or Germany.

Proton has mail, calendar, drive, docs, sheets and more coming. Everything is done e2ee where possible. In case of mail, when the peer has no Proton, mail is indeed send plaintext. Mail is stored e2ee on server, so not even Proton can read

I think we’re confusing async and non-blocking? Non-blocking is the part what makes virtual threads more efficient than threads. Async is the programming style; e.g. do things concurrently. Async can be implemented with threads or non-block

It could also be that there just isn’t enough demand for a non-blocking JDBC. For example, Postgresql server is not coping very well with lots of simultaneous connections, due to it’s (a.o.) process-per-connection model. From the client-sid

They indeed optimize thread context switching. Taking the thread on and off the CPU is becoming expensive when there are thousands of threads. You are right that everything blocks, even when going to L1 cache you have to wait 1 nanoseconds.

For disk IO it’s faster, there are many benchmarks on the internet. For network IO, it depends. Only two things make it theoretically faster than epoll; io_uring supports batching of requests, and you can save one sys call compared to epoll

Kotlin is slighty better Java. No more getters, setters, hashcode and toString. Kotlin is also much better Java for asynchronous programming, null-safety, and functional programming. It’s modern Java.
