Event Description

Welcome to the first meeting of 2010! GatorJUG is here for you to learn about Java and all of the software development lifecycle, in general. There are no fees, lots of good presentations and free giveaways...and munchies every meeting.

Please join the GatorJUG group here on Codetown. It makes inviting you to these meetings much easier!

We'll have an iPhone development meeting with open forum. I think that would be interesting to a broad range of developers, especially the ones that do Java apps on the Blackberry. Bring us your case studies! We'll also hear about Clojure development from Eric Lavigne, the winner of the first Contest Town coding contest!

Feel free to invite a friend. Please RSVP here so we'll know how much pizza to order.

We're looking for a sponsor for this meeting. If you or your company is interested, please contact Mike Levin...thanks in advance!

Thanks, Eric. I corrected the RSVP link on the www.gatorlug.org website announcing this event. I hope the word gets out. We want lots of people to attend and learn about Clojure, iPhone dev and ... Wari! Did you know Starbucks is selling Wari games now? I came back from Senegal with only rules in my memory I learned in the market in the village called Kaolack where I bought my game. I copied the rules one day at Starbucks from a game there. It's truly deceptively challenging. Great job on your implementation of the Wari game using Clojure.


Do you think you could invite some of your colleagues at University of Florida and elsewhere to the meeting? That would be great! Thanks again, Mike

The RSVP link at http://www.gatorlug.org/node/255 is broken because it points to gatorjug-2 instead of gatorjug-on-iphone

Article: Engineering Speed at Scale — Architectural Lessons from Sub-100-ms APIs

Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

Uber Moves from Static Limits to Priority-Aware Load Control for Distributed Storage

Uber engineers detailed how they evolved their storage platform from static rate limiting to a priority-aware load management system. The approach protects Docstore and Schemaless, Uber’s MySQL-based distributed databases, by colocating control with storage, prioritizing critical traffic, and dynamically shedding load under overload conditions.

Building Software Organisations Where People Can Thrive

Continuous learning, adaptability, and strong support networks are the foundations for thriving teams, Matthew Card mentioned. Trust is built through consistent, fair leadership and addressing toxic behaviour, bias, and microaggressions early. By fostering growth, psychological safety, and accountability, people-first leadership drives resilience, collaboration, and performance.

Google DeepMind Introduces ATLAS Scaling Laws for Multilingual Language Models

Google DeepMind researchers have introduced ATLAS, a set of scaling laws for multilingual language models that formalize how model size, training data volume, and language mixtures interact as the number of supported languages increases.

Presentation: Foundation Models for Ranking: Challenges, Successes, and Lessons Learned

Moumita Bhattacharya discusses the evolution of Netflix’s ranking systems, from the multi-model architecture to a Unified Contextual Recommender (UniCoRn). She explains how they built a task-agnostic User Foundation Model to capture long-term member preferences. Learn how they solve system challenges like high-throughput inference and the tradeoff between relevance and personalization.
