I had to add a few paragraphs before finishing this post. My wife called me to go up to have lunch. During the COVID-19 pandemic, during the workweek, I help my wife with some lunch items just like I do on weekends. Today I made open face toasts with avocado; simple and delicious.
First take a couple ripe avocados, cut them in half and remove the pits. Then peel them. Leave them alone until the toasts are ready (about 3 to 4 minutes).
Today I used four slices of brioche bread that we purchased at Trader Joe’s a week ago. If you are not familiar with brioche, it is fluffy and somewhat 
sweet. Our bread loaf has been used and is still sitting in the refrigerator.
I pulled out our panini press (a.k.a. Breville Smart Grill & Griddle) and set it to start warming up to 400 F. Any electric grill, waffle maker or plain pan can be used as a substitute for a panini press. Continue reading “Graph Breadth First Search”
I tend to write about programming challenges, books that I have read, database engines, etc. Most of the posts deal with a single subject. On occasions I extend a particular topic to several posts. I have mentioned that I would like to do a few posts on developing projects that fall outside work. This post will start a set of post which will be associated with developing different components that will allow a user to collect a set of specific images, pre process them, train machine learning (ML) algorithms, test them and deploy the best algorithm. We can then compare the results versus what a human (me in this case), and a feature that I developed for a project at work that produces the same result but using a different approach. 
Usually my youngest son calls on his way to work. Is almost 10:00 AM and have not heard from him. I work from home so I am able to receive his calls pretty much any time. I do not like to call him because he works out in the mornings and has to go home, get ready and drive to work. His time varies from day to day. We have this unspoken arrangement that if he does not have a chance to call we will do so the next day.
My wife and I enjoy cooking and of course eating the food we prepare. Yesterday we decided to making from scratch 
Barcelona. Next time we are in that area will make sure to have some empanadas.
open face version. That is what pizzas are all about. You can read more about pizza 
two of my in-laws and spouses were stopping by around 02:00 PM for lunch.
Our formal guests arrived so we all had empanadas with lime, beer, and wine. On Friday, my wife had prepared a couple gypsy arms stuffed with “
It is possible to receive a request, create a process or thread, service the request, and return to the caller the results of the operation. Many years ago, creating a process was the default approach. The issue was that creating and destroying a process when done are quite expensive operations. 
What is eventual consistency and why would we bother with it? Let’s first start by taking a look at the CAP theorem.
Over the weekend a container cargo ship sailing near Japan collided with the USS Fitzgerald causing loss of life (reportedly seven sailors die in the event). My sincere condolences to the family, relatives and friends affected. Over the weekend I read a few articles regarding this incident. For the reasons I am going to cover in this post, the news called my attention and motivated me to write this entry. 
Thinking of ways to architect / design software is a good way to improve your software skills. In this case I will try to come up with an initial design to implement a set of settings. The approach will look at the server and the client software. The idea is that different applications / sub systems would use a single application to manage their settings.
