If you’re thinking of using ECS for your game, read the article below first. Roger builds on the Megastruct concept and shows a real application with breaking data out into hot loops—and when to break out of the Entity type entirely.

@0xPrajwal_ You’re just not following right ppl As an experiment I’m building HoloStore a strongly consistent K/V engine based on Accord consensus research paper. HoloFusion is a distributed SQL engine built on top of HoloStore. I don’t know Rust so it’s 100% AI github.com/kellabyte/holo…

@jamesacowling One thing I am believing in more strongly is if you aspire to deliver an arch, make an arch that isn’t overly complex & has scale units well defined so as customer demand grows your org can depend on YOU to add capacity to grow with your customers Ppl lose track of this so much

@jamesacowling I often tweet about my conflicting and changing views on software engineering over the years but I’ve seen organizations pump insane $$ for years of software engineering with wild architectures that suck for users

@jamesacowling Software can succeed in many ways but some individuals or orgs execute better. Deliver systems more on time. That perform well. That give users predictable and world class user experiences. Easy to code against Then there’s orgs that deliver experiences that are janky. Complex

I tweet a lot about my conflicting thoughts about sw eng Believing in things. Exp pains. Learning lessons. Trying to relate to counter arguments I’ve matured to learn that counter argument is often just another set of tradeoffs I remind myself sw can succeed in many diff ways

@jamesacowling Meanwhile it’s amazing how well a multi table transaction works if you spend your $$ on DB hardware instead of being cheap as fuck and making every inter service a message or every read is abnormally stale Sorry for the rant 😂

@jamesacowling I’ve been meaning to write about this for ages but you can go really far with basic partitioning. Sometimes you need to a more thought out partitioning strategy beyond just tenants for example. But those can get you even further if you have bigger challenges.

@jamesacowling You know, in 2015 building my first 1,000 node system, I was super into eventually consistent architectures. It solved technical problems for us but created user visible ones too. Today I rather partition by consistency boundaries and favor predictable, strongly consistent UX

@_D_a_v_e_y @Julia_CaSsian I love open wheel cars and the ability to battle side by side with smaller cars. F3 is a blast to drive with its grip, braking and agility and just powerful enough to keep you honest without being a death trap. I think I’ve been driving it for 5 or 6 years now :)

@NightShiftMD This is how harsh the Toronto media and fanbase is. A Montreal Canadien committed suicide just a few weeks ago. And they are calling Marner weak for speaking that the weight of a city trashing him and blaming him was dark. Wild. Toronto fans are harsh as hell.

@funkmasterMMA Yup. If they just called it like an eye poke and paused, the shook fighter could reset. They let the stunned athlete after an illegal blow take follow up legal blows while potentially unable to defend themselves. Then they stop the fight cuz you’re not defending yourself 😂😂

Operating a massive fleet of databases comes with many challenges. Kubernetes allows us to do so safely and reliably. Self-healing systems, configuration management, failover, and more across thousands of nodes. @fatih walks through how it all works in our latest blog.
