When Christmas is done and dusted – what do you do with it? Put it back in the cupboard with the decorations for next year – or let the message of Christian burn on in your heart?   CHRISTMAS IN REVIEW So how have you gone, in those busy weeks leading up to Christmas? Did you enjoy yourself or was the stress just too much? Was it a kind of rich experience or did the cares of this world; all that stuff, you know, that we do leading up to Christmas, did it rob you of the Christmas you think that you should have had? Over these last few weeks on the programme we have been working our way through a series of messages that I've called 'Message in a Bottle'. The whole Christmas story was born out of the shepherd heart of God; the heart of God to draw us into His arms. Have a listen to the Scripture that we used in the first programme, three weeks ago, Ezekiel, chapter 34, verse 11. And by the way, if you have a Bible, grab it; open it up because we are going to spend some time in God's Word today. This is what Ezekiel wrote; this is what God said: I, Myself will search for My sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so I will look after My sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice. God has this heart like a shepherd does for his flock of sheep, to look after us and to care for us and to love us. And out of that is born this incredible story of Christmas. You know how it all came about: Joseph and Mary, these two young people, ordinary people; nobodies like you and me, called to bring Jesus into the world. Not a king and queen; a teenaged girl and a young carpenter. Now all the stories of Christmas, I guess, are as familiar to all of us as breathing in and out everyday. I mean, we go through Christmas each year, but when you scratch underneath them, which is what we have been doing the last few weeks on the programme, I don't know, there's a gritty reality of life in the story of Christmas. It's a kind of a surprise, I mean, Mary is pregnant by the Holy Spirit; it's a virgin birth. And there was a prophesy centuries before, that Jesus would be born to a virgin. The prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 7, verse 14 of Isaiah: Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign – the virgin will be with a child and she will give birth to a son. Great! You look at it from two thousand years on as we do and you think, "well, there's a virgin birth and that's what happened and that it was God's story." But back then, imagine the shame she went through when she had this pregnancy out of wedlock, at a time when that wasn't an acceptable lifestyle choice as it might be in society today? Even though God prophesied about that centuries before, who would of thought Mary, and who would have believed Mary going, "well, you know it was the Holy Spirit that did it?" Give me a break! So Mary went around with this shame and Joseph was going to dismiss her quietly until God spoke to him in a dream. And then Jesus was born in a stable and not a palace, in this place, Bethlehem. Even that was prophesied about centuries before. In Micah, chapter 5, verse 2, it says: But you Bethlehem, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for Me, one who will be ruler of Israel, whose origins are of old, from ancient times. See, that's a prophesy pointing forward to the birth of Jesus Christ, in Bethlehem. And of course, Herod tried to kill Jesus – they had to flee to Egypt. Again that was prophesied about centuries before in Jeremiah, chapter 31, verse 15: This is what the Lord says, "A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning with great weeping; Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because her children are no more." There's a prophesy about the way that Herod slew all the young children under two years of age. And so I guess we have been looking at all things the last few weeks on the programme and I remember the first time I began to take a cold, hard look at the Christmas story – you know, the realities, the history. I was a bit disappointed. I mean, somehow I wanted to keep that idealised pantomime view of Christmas; the cutesy Mary, Joseph, donkey, baby in a manger thing. I mean, we like to idealise things. You know when Hollywood makes a movie out of a true story, they embellish things. You know, we like to do that. But Christmas isn't a pantomime. The true story of Christmas – of Jesus' birth – is about hardship, about pressure, about discomfort, about danger. I mean, Mary was on a donkey for a week or two, heading for Bethlehem for the census, in the last weeks of her pregnancy. That would have been fun! And then she gave birth to Jesus in a smelly, grotty stable, surrounded by animals. What a place to give birth to a child? And then Herod massacred all these infants and Joseph and Mary and Jesus were fleeing for their lives down to Egypt. This is the Christmas that Jesus chose for Himself; the Son of God, who always exists. I mean, John tells us in the first verse of the first chapter of John's Gospel: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God," and then down in verse 14, "And then the Word became flesh." So here is Jesus, the Eternal Son, who could choose the time, the place and the circumstances for His birth on this earth and as much as I mourned the passing of the cute Christmas pantomime in my heart, when you start to get down and dirty with the reality of Christmas, for me, it was like opening up the message in a bottle. It's like God sent this message from heaven that washed up on a beach, I find the bottle, I stoop down, I open it, and I discover what's really inside. See, for me, sticking with just the pantomime is like taking that bottle up off the beach and putting it on a shelf and looking at it with a warm glow saying, "yea, you know, I know what that message is. It's a cute pantomime; I don't have to open it." But opening the bottle, reading the message of Christmas; discovering the gritty reality for me, you know what it says in big letters? God became one of us! Your life, my life; they're not pantomimes; they're not some cutesy story – there's a tough reality to life. Sure there are joys and delights but there's also this gritty reality. Most of us, we don't live in a palace. Most of us, we are just ordinary, everyday people with ordinary, everyday lives with the challenges and the pressures and the losses and the hurts. So many people live scarred lives – so many people live lives where they're lost – so many people live their lives wandering aimlessly around; "why am I here, where am I headed, what's this life all about?" And it's one thing for God, from a distance, to say, "well, here are the answers". That's one thing but just at the right time, God becomes a man – the Message, the Word, becomes flesh; one of us. Theologians talk about the incarnation, me? For me, it's just God became one of us, like you and me. Christmas is a great time, but what of the Christmas story can we carry around in our hearts, every day of the year; 24/7? What of Christmas makes a real difference in our lives when Christmas is done and dust; when the season is over? Well for me, it's the fact that God became one of us. We will unpack that a bit more next.   HE UNDERSTANDS Let's pick up for a moment on the reality and the normality of Jesus entry into this world. He was the Son of God, we saw that before. I mean, John in John's Gospel makes it clear. Jesus just wasn't created on the day He was born. Jesus is the Eternal Son of God and yet on that night in Bethlehem, He became the Son of Man, one of us. In fact, that's how Jesus most frequently referred to Himself; He almost never said, "Son of God"; He mostly said, "Son of Man". He was both. But most people you ask, "was He more like God or more like us?" Most people would say, "well, I know that in Jesus, God became human, but at the end of the day, He's still God, so really He's not like us." I guess that's a natural reaction. Jesus is the Son of God; no, He didn't sin; He was and remains perfect. And so if we look at Jesus like that, in a sense, it doesn't help us on our journey. Jesus was perfect and He said some things about judging other people and loving our enemies and murder begins in the heart and you commit adultery if you just look at a woman the wrong way, all that stuff. And you can come to the conclusion, you know something, I can't live up to all that stuff. So I feel condemned and therefore, Jesus isn't good news at all. The fact that God became a man doesn't help me at all. A few weeks ago, at the beginning of this series, we looked a the shepherd heart of God and in particular the beautiful verses in Leviticus, chapter 26, verses 11 and 12, where God says to Israel: I will put My dwelling place in your midst and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and I will be your God and you will be My people. Please, understand how radical that is! It is totally contrary to all the other gods that all the other nations worshipped. Their concept was by and large, of appeasing the gods so that they wouldn't be punished. You went and worshipped gods and idols in temples up on hills, but here the God of Israel is a God of relationship with His people, on their journey, in their midst. And as we saw before, in John, chapter 1, verse 14: And then the Word became flesh and dwelt in our midst. Literally, tabernacled among us, like God tabernacled, or had a tent, with Israel on the exodus, so John says: "God came and dwelt with us through Jesus." Christmas is Jesus getting on our journey with us and one of the most beautiful explanations of that for me is to be found in Hebrews, chapter 4. If you've got a Bible, flick it open, go to Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 14. The picture here the writer of Hebrews is using is of Jesus as our High Priest. You know, the High Priest used to go into the temple on one day of the year, right into the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, and take a sacrifice for peoples' sin. And so that's why the writer used this term the "High Priest". And he says: Since we have a great High Priest, who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith that we profess. For we don't have a High Priest who can't sympathise with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted and tested in every way, just as we are, yet He was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. See, it says here Jesus was not just in heaven, that's natural, He's the Son of God, but He is able to sympathise and empathise with all the stuff we go through. Why? Not just because He's God but because He has been through every trial and every temptation, every hurt, every disappointment that we ever have been or we will ever travel through. He's walked on those long dusty roads. I challenge you to read one of the Gospel accounts – Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, end to end in one session, like a story. Not all chopped up like we sometimes do, but end to end – and just look at what He experienced, how people treated Him, what they said about Him. How often they misunderstood Him. It will only take you a couple of hours and it's really worth doing. Curl up with a good cup of coffee and read a good book; the Good Book. And as you read about all the stuff He went through put yourself in His shoes and we begin to understand what He felt. At Christmas God steps out of heaven and into history. That's exactly what He does for us – He steps into our shoes, our reality, our experiences first hand, every trial, every temptation that we go through, He knows because He's God; He knows because He's man. And therefore, because of His humanity, because He's been through it all, let us approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Therefore, because He became a man, became He has experienced what we go through; we can go to Him with boldness and confidence, and approach the throne of grace. A boldness that arises, not of who we are or what we do, a boldness that arises out of the central fact of Christmas – the Son of God became the Son of Man. Because of that we can be confident that He understands and that we will find and receive mercy and grace, just at the right time in our need. And the whole point of mercy and grace is that they can't be mercy and grace unless we don't deserve them. If we deserved them they wouldn't be mercy and grace. But we can be bold about them anyway. Can I tell you something? That's a Christmas message worth carrying around in my heart for everyday of the year, not just for the 25th of December. Jesus gets it not just because He's God; He knows everything of course, but because He became one of us and walked a mile or two in our shoes. That is something to warm our hearts every day of the year. But there's one other thing – a really important thing about our future, about our inheritance that comes out of Christmas and I'm going to share that next.   OUR INHERITANCE There's this one other thing; a really important thing that I want to share with you about Christmas today. Again it's a side of Christmas that you and I can carry around in our hearts every day of the year for the rest of our lives here on this earth. Earlier we looked a Christmas where Jesus becomes one of us; the thing that the theologians call the "incarnation". He gets it; He understands our circumstances because He's walked in our shoes and God's Word says that we should place our confidence in that. That when we are struggling; when we made a blunder; when we are just finding it hard, to come boldly before the throne of grace because Jesus has walked in our shoes and He understands That's fantastic and it's for here and now. But there's also a really important thing for the future that we get out of Christmas and that is "hope". Hope is such an important thing, something to hope for in the future; a certain hope; not a kind of uncertain hope like "I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow", or "I hope I win the lotto", or, you know what I mean? A certain hope, because without hope life if hopeless. We have all experienced that sense of lost-ness and hopelessness from time to time and for some people it's a place where they seem to live almost permanently. Well, it's not meant to be that way. Have a listen to what the Apostle Paul writes in Romans, chapter 8, beginning at verse 15. He's writing about God's love for us through Jesus Christ and if you have a Bible, go there, Romans, chapter 8, verse 15. He writes this: For you didn't receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you've received the spirit of adoption and by Him we cry, "Abba", 'Dad'. The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirits that we are God's children. Now if we are His children, then we are His heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. See, Jesus became one of us. Yes, He's the Son of God; God the Son but just as He is the Son of God, we are children of God, joint heirs with Jesus. That's a hard idea to get our minds around because if we think, 'well, Jesus is so different to us because He is the Son of God', we miss the point. Jesus was a little baby that came into this world just as you and I did. He slipped into this world, He cried and He was just like you and me. He was born, He lived, He struggled, He ministered, He died, He rose again and now He is with the Father in heaven and He has gone ahead of us and we inherit what He inherits. The Apostle Peter puts it like this in First Peter, chapter 1, verse 3: Praise be to God and our Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, because in His great mercy He's given us a new birth into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, kept in heaven for you, who through faith, are protected by God's power. It's an inheritance that's being kept for us and it comes from the fact that we are joint heirs with Jesus. Jesus was the one that went to the cross for us; He was the one that rose again and He purchased that inheritance for us on the cross. That inheritance is there waiting for us, safer than anything we can imagine. The reason I have called this programme "Christianityworks" is because I believe that it does. I believe that faith in Jesus Christ changes our lives – it works – it makes our lives better. It means God gets in and deals with problems that we can't deal with. But you know what the risk of that is? The risk is we focus just on the here and now but God calls us to live with eternity in mind. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ because in His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, being kept in heaven for you. God is saying, "Lift up your eyes. Look at eternity. Look at what I have prepared for you." You are a joint heir with Jesus. Jesus is the first born among many and He has risen from the dead and we get to spend eternity with Him in delight and worship and rest and peace and no sickness or tears or poverty. We are co-heirs of that, in Christ. That's all part of God's plan for Christmas. Jesus became one of us to make us joint heirs with Him. Christmas is an awesome message. It is like a message in a bottle when the Word became flesh; when Jesus was washed up on the sands of time as one of us. Jesus is God's message; that's why the Bible calls Him 'the Word of God'. Jesus is God speaking to us in a language we can understand and what a wondrous message – help for today and hope for tomorrow – compassion and understanding and mercy and grace for today because Jesus has walked in our shoes. And so we can be confident in that because of the fact that He knows, first hand, but also joint heirs with Christ for all eternity. Christmas – what an amazing message – a message in a bottle. And I want to encourage you, don't take Christmas and put it back in the cupboard with the Christmas decorations, just to kind of trot it out in twelve months time – don't do that. The message of Christmas is that God the Son became one of us and He walked the dusty roads of the Holy Land and experienced every thing that you and I experience. He knows what we are going through and He has purchased an eternal hope.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-twentieth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience' and the fifth* annual Large Scale Combat Operations Symposium. Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are all seasoned observer-coach-trainers (OCTs) from across Operations Group, LTC Amoreena “Ammo” York, MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, MAJ Marc Howle, MAJ Amy Beatty, MAJ Jeff Horn, CSM Frank Enriquez, SGM Matthew Bollinger, and MSG Lacey Remillard as well as CW3 Roy Sandoval from the US Army Special Operations Command's Special Operations Training Detachment. Opening remarks were provided by GEN David Hodnes (Available only live via Teams), the Commanding General of Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) and BG Jason Curl, the Commanding General of the Joint Readiness Training Center. Our panel members are observer-coach-trainers with numerous decisive action training environment rotations between them. LTC York is the Task Force Senior for the TF Aviation (CAB / ATF). MAJ Pfaltzgraff is the BDE S-3 Operations OCT and MAJ Howle is the Protection OCT for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ). MAJ Beatty is the Executive Officer OCT and MSG Remillard is the S-3 Operations Sergeant Major OCT for Task Force Sustainment (BSB/DSSB). MAJ Horn is the Executive Officer OCT for the Fires Support Task Force. CSM Enriquez is the Command Sergeant Major OCT for Live Fires Division. SGM Bollinger is the Senior Enlisted S-2 Intelligence Advisor for the Intelligence Warfighting Function. CW3 Sandoval is the Rotational Planner for USASOC's Special Operations Training Detachment.   The purpose of the ‘LSCO Symposium' is to advance conversation on warfighting and share observations and lessons learned. We will discuss large scale violence today, but this discussion transcends mission sets. Train for high end competition and scale down as required. This episode synthesizes JRTC trends and best practices for preparing units for their hardest days of ground combat in Large-Scale Combat Operations across multiple domains. A central theme is that continuous transformation must be anchored to disciplined fundamentals. Leaders repeatedly emphasize that emerging capabilities—UAS, ITN, AI-enabled targeting tools, precision fires, and advanced sustainment systems—amplify poor discipline as much as they amplify competence. Units struggle when they trade foundational skills for technology, compress training timelines, or assume proficiency in basics like MDMP rigor, rehearsals, reporting, security, and sustainment forecasting. The discussion reinforces that formations are not failing because of a lack of tools, but because of gaps in training management, insufficient repetitions at home station, and an erosion of shared doctrinal language that enables synchronization under stress.    The episode also highlights how LSCO success depends on integration across warfighting functions over time, not single moments of convergence. Best-performing units demonstrate disciplined commander–staff and commander–commander dialogue, deliberate risk articulation, and active NCO involvement throughout planning and execution. Persistent challenges include rushed or truncated MDMP, weak course-of-action analysis, fragmented IPO/SPO processes, and poor sustainment visibility that leads to overstocking, vulnerable cache sites, and exposed logistics nodes. Survivability on a transparent battlefield emerges as a recurring lesson: units must balance dispersion with functionality, manage electromagnetic signatures, rehearse degraded communications, protect sustainment forces, and treat rear areas as contested terrain. Taken together, the episode underscores a clear JRTC message—winning the first battles of LSCO requires disciplined fundamentals, rigorous planning, and relentless rehearsal long before units ever make contact.  If you'd like to read along, you can visit our LinkTree account and view either Scenesetter (https://tr.ee/P8GenLNFvW) or EXSUM (https://tr.ee/HPpEc3ckHP).   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   Don't forget to checkout our first, second, third, and fourth annual Large Scale Combat Operations Symposium, episodes sixteen, thirty, sixty-six, and ninety-three of ‘The Crucible.'   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

After Kamren Curl and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. shined on Sunday Night Football for the Rams—and received big praise from the NBC broadcast—Lynnell asks the hard question: Did Adam Peters and the Commanders mishandle both players? Curl was allowed to walk in free agency, and Forbes was cut just a year and a half into his career.

Class is back in session!

Dans cet épisode, Arnaud et Guillaume discutent des dernières évolutions dans le monde de la programmation, notamment les nouveautés de Java 25, JUnit 6, et Jackson 3. Ils abordent également les récents développements en IA, les problèmes rencontrés dans le cloud, et l'état actuel de React et du web. Dans cette conversation, les intervenants abordent divers sujets liés à la technologie, notamment les spécifications de Wasteme, l'utilisation des UUID dans les bases de données, l'approche RAG en intelligence artificielle, les outils MCP, et la création d'images avec Nano Banana. Ils discutent également des complexités du format YAML, des récents dramas dans la communauté Ruby, de l'importance d'une bonne documentation, des politiques de retour au bureau, et des avancées de Cloud Code. Enfin, ils évoquent l'initiative de cafés IA pour démystifier l'intelligence artificielle.

News Langages GraalVM se détache du release train de Java https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/detaching-graalvm-from-the-java-ecosystem-train Un article de Loic Mathieu sur Java 25 et ses nouvelles fonctionalités https://www.loicmathieu.fr/wordpress/informatique/java-25-whats-new/ Sortie de Groovy 5.0 ! https://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-5.0.html Groovy 5: Évolution des versions précédentes, nouvelles fonctionnalités et simplification du code. Compatibilité JDK étendue: Full support JDK 11-25, fonctionnalités JDK 17-25 disponibles sur les JDK plus anciens. Extension majeure des méthodes: Plus de 350 méthodes améliorées, opérations sur tableaux jusqu'à 10x plus rapides, itérateurs paresseux. Améliorations des transformations AST: Nouveau @OperatorRename, génération automatique de @NamedParam pour @MapConstructor et copyWith. REPL (groovysh) modernisé: Basé sur JLine 3, support multi-plateforme, coloration syntaxique, historique et complétion. Meilleure interopérabilité Java: Pattern Matching pour instanceof, support JEP-512 (fichiers source compacts et méthodes main d'instance). Standards web modernes: Support Jakarta EE (par défaut) et Javax EE (héritage) pour la création de contenu web. Vérification de type améliorée: Contrôle des chaînes de format plus robuste que Java. Additions au langage: Génération d'itérateurs infinis, variables d'index dans les boucles, opérateur d'implication logique ==>. Améliorations diverses: Import automatique de java.time.**, var avec multi-assignation, groupes de capture nommés pour regex (=~), méthodes utilitaires de graphiques à barres ASCII. Changements impactants: Plusieurs modifications peuvent nécessiter une adaptation du code existant (visibilité, gestion des imports, comportement de certaines méthodes). **Exigences JDK*: Construction avec JDK17+, exécution avec JDK11+. Librairies Intégration de LangChain4j dans ADK pour Java, permettant aux développeurs d'utiliser n'importe quel LLM avec leurs agents ADK https://developers.googleblog.com/en/adk-for-java-opening-up-to-third-party-language-models-via-langchain4j-integration/ ADK pour Java 0.2.0 : Nouvelle version du kit de développement d'agents de Google. Intégration LangChain4j : Ouvre ADK à des modèles de langage tiers. Plus de choix de LLM : En plus de Gemini et Claude, accès aux modèles d'OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc. Modèles locaux supportés : Utilisation possible de modèles via Ollama ou Docker Model Runner. Améliorations des outils : Création d'outils à partir d'instances d'objets, meilleur support asynchrone et contrôle des boucles d'exécution. Logique et mémoire avancées : Ajout de callbacks en chaîne et de nouvelles options pour la gestion de la mémoire et le RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Build simplifié : Introduction d'un POM parent et du Maven Wrapper pour un processus de construction cohérent. JUnit 6 est sorti https://docs.junit.org/6.0.0/release-notes/ :sparkles: Java 17 and Kotlin 2.2 baseline :sunrise_over_mountains: JSpecify nullability annotations :airplane_departure: Integrated JFR support :suspension_railway: Kotlin suspend function support :octagonal_sign: Support for cancelling test execution :broom: Removal of deprecated APIs JGraphlet, une librairie Java sans dépendances pour créer des graphes de tâches à exécuter https://shaaf.dev/post/2025-08-25-think-in-graphs-not-just-chains-jgraphlet-for-taskpipelines/ JGraphlet: Bibliothèque Java légère (zéro-dépendance) pour construire des pipelines de tâches. Principes clés: Simplicité, basée sur un modèle d'exécution de graphe. Tâches: Chaque tâche a une entrée/sortie, peut être asynchrone (Task) ou synchrone (SyncTask). Pipeline: Un TaskPipeline construit et exécute le graphe, gère les I/O. Modèle Graph-First: Le flux de travail est un Graphe Orienté Acyclique (DAG). Définition des tâches comme des nœuds, des connexions comme des arêtes. Support naturel des motifs fan-out et fan-in. API simple: addTask("id", task), connect("fromId", "toId"). Fan-in: Une tâche recevant plusieurs entrées reçoit une Map (clés = IDs des tâches parentes). Exécution: pipeline.run(input) retourne un CompletableFuture (peut être bloquant via .join() ou asynchrone). Cycle de vie: TaskPipeline est AutoCloseable, garantissant la libération des ressources (try-with-resources). Contexte: PipelineContext pour partager des données/métadonnées thread-safe entre les tâches au sein d'une exécution. Mise en cache: Option de mise en cache pour les tâches afin d'éviter les re-calculs. Au tour de Microsoft de lancer son (Microsoft) Agent Framework, qui semble être une fusion / réécriture de AutoGen et de Semnatic Kernel https://x.com/pyautogen/status/1974148055701028930 Plus de détails dans le blog post : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/foundry/introducing-microsoft-agent-framework-the-open-source-engine-for-agentic-ai-apps/ SDK & runtime open-source pour systèmes multi-agents sophistiqués. Unifie Semantic Kernel et AutoGen. Piliers : Standards ouverts (MCP, A2A, OpenAPI) et interopérabilité. Passerelle recherche-production (patterns AutoGen pour l'entreprise). Extensible, modulaire, open-source, connecteurs intégrés. Prêt pour la production (observabilité, sécurité, durabilité, "human in the loop"). Relation SK/AutoGen : S'appuie sur eux, ne les remplace pas, simplifie la migration. Intégrations futures : Alignement avec Microsoft 365 Agents SDK et Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. Sortie de Jackson 3.0 (bientôt les Jackson Five !!!) https://cowtowncoder.medium.com/jackson-3-0-0-ga-released-1f669cda529a Jackson 3.0.0 a été publié le 3 octobre 2025. Objectif : base propre pour le développement à long terme, suppression de la dette technique, architecture simplifiée, amélioration de l'ergonomie. Principaux changements : Baseline Java 17 requise (vs Java 8 pour 2.x). Group ID Maven et package Java renommés en tools.jackson pour la coexistence avec Jackson 2.x. (Exception: jackson-annotations ne change pas). Suppression de toutes les fonctionnalités @Deprecated de Jackson 2.x et renommage de plusieurs entités/méthodes clés. Modification des paramètres de configuration par défaut (ex: FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES désactivé). ObjectMapper et TokenStreamFactory sont désormais immutables, la configuration se fait via des builders. Passage à des exceptions de base non vérifiées (JacksonException) pour plus de commodité. Intégration des "modules Java 8" (pour les noms de paramètres, Optional, java.time) directement dans l'ObjectMapper par défaut. Amélioration du modèle d'arbre JsonNode (plus de configurabilité, meilleure gestion des erreurs). Testcontainers Java 2.0 est sorti https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/releases/tag/2.0.0 Removed JUnit 4 support -> ups Grails 7.0 est sortie, avec son arrivée à la fondation Apache https://grails.apache.org/blog/2025-10-18-introducing-grails-7.html Sortie d'Apache Grails 7.0.0 annoncée le 18 octobre 2025. Grails est devenu un projet de premier niveau (TLP) de l'Apache Software Foundation (ASF), graduant d'incubation. Mise à jour des dépendances vers Groovy 4.0.28, Spring Boot 3.5.6, Jakarta EE. Tout pour bien démarrer et développer des agents IA avec ADK pour Java https://glaforge.dev/talks/2025/10/22/building-ai-agents-with-adk-for-java/ Guillaume a partagé plein de resources sur le développement d'agents IA avec ADK pour Java Un article avec tous les pointeurs Un slide deck et l'enregistrement vidéo de la présentation faite lors de Devoxx Belgique Un codelab avec des instructions pour démarrer et créer ses premiers agents Plein d'autres samples pour s'inspirer et voir les possibilités offertes par le framework Et aussi un template de projet sur GitHub, avec un build Maven et un premier agent d'exemple Cloud Internet cassé, du moins la partie hébergée par AWS #hugops https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/ Panne majeure d'AWS (région US-EAST-1) : problème DNS affectant DynamoDB, service fondamental, causant des défaillances en cascade de nombreux services internet. Réponse lente : 75 minutes pour identifier la cause profonde; la page de statut affichait initialement "tout va bien". Cause sous-jacente principale : "fuite des cerveaux" (départ d'ingénieurs AWS seniors). Perte de connaissances institutionnelles : des décennies d'expertise critique sur les systèmes AWS et les modes de défaillance historiques parties avec ces départs. Prédictions confirmées : un ancien d'AWS avait anticipé une augmentation des pannes majeures en 2024. Preuves de la perte de talents : Plus de 27 000 licenciements chez Amazon (2022-2025). Taux élevé de "départs regrettés" (69-81%). Mécontentement lié à la politique de "Return to Office" et au manque de reconnaissance de l'expertise. Conséquences : les nouvelles équipes, plus réduites, manquent de l'expérience nécessaire pour prévenir les pannes ou réduire les temps de récupération. Perspective : Le marché pourrait pardonner cette fois, mais le problème persistera, rendant les futurs incidents plus probables. Web React a gagné "par défaut" https://www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-won-by-default/ React domine par défaut, non par mérite technique, étouffant ainsi l'innovation front-end. Choix par réflexe ("tout le monde connaît React"), freinant l'évaluation d'alternatives potentiellement supérieures. Fondations techniques de React (V-DOM, complexité des Hooks, Server Components) vues comme des contraintes actuelles. Des frameworks innovants (Svelte pour la compilation, Solid pour la réactivité fine, Qwik pour la "resumability") offrent des modèles plus performants mais sont sous-adoptés. La monoculture de React génère une dette technique (runtime, réconciliation) et centre les compétences sur le framework plutôt que sur les fondamentaux web. L'API React est complexe, augmentant la charge cognitive et les risques de bugs, contrairement aux alternatives plus simples. L'effet de réseau crée une "prison": offres d'emploi spécifiques, inertie institutionnelle, leaders choisissant l'option "sûre". Nécessité de choisir les frameworks selon les contraintes du projet et le mérite technique, non par inertie. Les arguments courants (maturité de l'écosystème, recrutement, bibliothèques, stabilité) sont remis en question; une dépendance excessive peut devenir un fardeau. La monoculture ralentit l'évolution du web et détourne les talents, nuisant à la diversité essentielle pour un écosystème sain et innovant. Promouvoir la diversité des frameworks pour un écosystème plus résilient et innovant. WebAssembly 3 est sortie https://webassembly.org/news/2025-09-17-wasm-3.0/ Data et Intelligence Artificielle UUIDv4 ou UUIDv7 pour vos clés primaires ? Ça dépend… surtout pour les bases de données super distribuées ! https://medium.com/google-cloud/understanding-uuidv7-and-its-impact-on-cloud-spanner-b8d1a776b9f7 UUIDv4 : identifiants entièrement aléatoires. Cause des problèmes de performance dans les bases de données relationnelles (ex: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) utilisant des index B-Tree. Inserts aléatoires réduisent l'efficacité du cache, entraînent des divisions de pages et la fragmentation. UUIDv7 : nouveau standard conçu pour résoudre ces problèmes. Intègre un horodatage (48 bits) en préfixe de l'identifiant, le rendant ordonné temporellement et "k-sortable". Améliore la performance dans les bases B-Tree en favorisant les inserts séquentiels, la localité du cache et réduisant la fragmentation. Problème de UUIDv7 pour certaines bases de données distribuées et scalables horizontalement comme Spanner : La nature séquentielle d'UUIDv7 (via l'horodatage) crée des "hotspots d'écriture" (points chauds) dans Spanner. Spanner distribue les données en "splits" (partitions) basées sur les plages de clés. Les clés séquentielles concentrent les écritures sur un seul "split". Ceci empêche Spanner de distribuer la charge et de scaler les écritures, créant un goulot d'étranglement ("anti-pattern"). Quand ce n'est PAS un problème pour Spanner : Si le taux d'écriture total est inférieur à environ 3 500 écritures/seconde pour un seul "split". Le hotspot est "bénin" à cette échelle et n'entraîne pas de dégradation de performance. Solutions pour Spanner : Principe clé : S'assurer que la première partie de la clé primaire est NON séquentielle pour distribuer les écritures. UUIDv7 peut être utilisé, mais pas comme préfixe. Nouvelle conception ("greenfield") : ▪︎ Utiliser une clé primaire non-séquentielle (ex: UUIDv4 simple). Pour les requêtes basées sur le temps, créer un index secondaire sur la colonne d'horodatage, mais le SHARDER (ex: shardId) pour éviter les hotspots sur l'index lui-même. Migration (garder UUIDv7) : ▪︎ Ajouter un préfixe de sharding : Introduire une colonne `shard` calculée (ex: `MOD(ABS(FARM_FINGERPRINT(order_id_v7)), N)`) et l'utiliser comme PREMIER élément d'une clé primaire composite (`PRIMARY KEY (shard, order_id_v7)`). Réordonner les colonnes (si clé primaire composite existante) : Si la clé primaire est déjà composite (ex: (order_id_v7, tenant_id)), réordonner en (tenant_id, order_id_v7). Cela aide si tenant_id a une cardinalité élevée et distribue bien. (Un tenant_id très actif pourrait toujours nécessiter un préfixe de sharding supplémentaire). RAG en prod, comment améliorer la pertinence des résultats https://blog.abdellatif.io/production-rag-processing-5m-documents Démarrage rapide avec Langchain + Llamaindex: prototype fonctionnel, mais résultats de production jugés "subpar" par les utilisateurs. Ce qui a amélioré la performance (par ROI): Génération de requêtes: LLM crée des requêtes sémantiques et mots-clés multiples basées sur le fil de discussion pour une meilleure couverture. Reranking: La technique la plus efficace, modifie grandement le classement des fragments (chunks). Stratégie de découpage (Chunking): Nécessite beaucoup d'efforts, compréhension des données, création de fragments logiques sans coupures. Métadonnées à l'LLM: L'injection de métadonnées (titre, auteur) améliore le contexte et les réponses. Routage de requêtes: Détecte et traite les questions non-RAG (ex: résumer, qui a écrit) via API/LLM distinct. Outillage Créer un serveur MCP (mode HTTP Streamable) avec Micronaut et quelques éléments de comparaison avec Quarkus https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/16/creating-a-streamable-http-mcp-server-with-micronaut/ Micronaut propose désormais un support officiel pour le protocole MCP. Exemple : un serveur MCP pour les phases lunaires (similaire à une version Quarkus pour la comparaison). Définition des outils MCP via les annotations @Tool et @ToolArg. Point fort : Micronaut gère automatiquement la validation des entrées (ex: @NotBlank, @Pattern), éliminant la gestion manuelle des erreurs. Génération automatique de schémas JSON détaillés pour les structures d'entrée/sortie grâce à @JsonSchema. Nécessite une configuration pour exposer les schémas JSON générés comme ressources statiques. Dépendances clés : micronaut-mcp-server-java-sdk et les modules json-schema. Testé avec l'inspecteur MCP et intégration avec l'outil Gemini CLI. Micronaut offre une gestion élégante des entrées/sorties structurées grâce à son support JSON Schema riche. Un agent IA créatif : comment utiliser le modèle Nano Banana pour générer et éditer des images (en Java, avec ADK) https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/22/creative-ai-agents-with-adk-and-nano-banana/ Modèles de langage (LLM) deviennent multimodaux : traitent diverses entrées (texte, images, vidéo, audio). Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview) : modèle Gemini, génère et édite des images, pas seulement du texte. ADK (Agent Development Kit pour Java) : pour configurer des agents IA créatifs utilisant ce type de modèle. Application : Base pour des workflows créatifs complexes (ex: agent de marketing, enchaînement d'agents pour génération d'assets). Un vieil article (6 mois) qui illustre les problèmes du format de fichier YAML https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell YAML est extrêmement complexe malgré son objectif de convivialité humaine. Spécification volumineuse et versionnée (YAML 1.1, 1.2 diffèrent significativement). Comportements imprévisibles et "pièges" (footguns) courants : Nombres sexagésimaux (ex: 22:22 parsé comme 1342 en YAML 1.1). Tags (!.git) pouvant mener à des erreurs ou à l'exécution de code arbitraire. "Problème de la Norvège" : no interprété comme false en YAML 1.1. Clés non-chaînes de caractères (on peut devenir une clé booléenne True). Nombres accidentels si non-guillemets (ex: 10.23 comme flottant). La coloration syntaxique n'est pas fiable pour détecter ces subtilités. Le templating de documents YAML est une mauvaise idée, source d'erreurs et complexe à gérer. Alternatives suggérées : TOML : Similaire à YAML mais plus sûr (chaînes toujours entre guillemets), permet les commentaires. JSON avec commentaires (utilisé par VS Code), mais moins répandu. Utiliser un sous-ensemble simple de YAML (difficile à faire respecter). Générer du JSON à partir de langages de programmation plus puissants : ▪︎ Nix : Excellent pour l'abstraction et la réutilisation de configuration. Python : Facilite la création de JSON avec commentaires et logique.

Loi, société et organisation Microsoft va imposer une politique de Return To Office https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-execs-explain-rto-mandate-in-internal-meeting-2025-9 Microsoft impose 3 jours de présence au bureau par semaine à partir de février 2026, débutant par la région de Seattle Le CEO Satya Nadella explique que le télétravail a affaibli les liens sociaux nécessaires à l'innovation Les dirigeants citent des données internes montrant que les employés présents au bureau "prospèrent" davantage L'équipe IA de Microsoft doit être présente 4 jours par semaine, règles plus strictes pour cette division stratégique Les employés peuvent demander des exceptions jusqu'au 19 septembre 2025 pour trajets complexes ou absence d'équipe locale Amy Coleman (RH) affirme que la collaboration en personne améliore l'énergie et les résultats, surtout à l'ère de l'IA La politique s'appliquera progressivement aux 228 000 employés dans le monde après les États-Unis Les réactions sont mitigées, certains employés critiquent la perte d'autonomie et les bureaux inadéquats Microsoft rattrape ses concurrents tech qui ont déjà imposé des retours au bureau plus stricts Cette décision intervient après 15 000 licenciements en 2025, créant des tensions avec les employés Comment Claude Code est né ? (l'histoire de sa création) https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-claude-code-is-built Claude Code : outil de développement "AI-first" créé par Boris Cherny, Sid Bidasaria et Cat Wu. Performance impressionnante : 500M$ de revenus annuels, utilisation multipliée par 10 en 3 mois. Adoption interne massive : Plus de 80% des ingénieurs d'Anthropic l'utilisent quotidiennement, y compris les data scientists. Augmentation de productivité : 67% d'augmentation des Pull Requests (PR) par ingénieur malgré le doublement de l'équipe. Origine : Commande CLI simple évoluant vers un outil accédant au système de fichiers, exploitant le "product overhang" du modèle Claude. Raison du lancement public : Apprendre sur la sécurité et les capacités des modèles d'IA. Pile technologique "on distribution" : TypeScript, React (avec Ink), Yoga, Bun. Choisie car le modèle Claude est déjà très performant avec ces technologies. "Claude Code écrit 90% de son propre code" : Le modèle prend en charge la majeure partie du développement. Architecture légère : Simple "shell" autour du modèle Claude, minimisant la logique métier et le code (suppression constante de code superflu). Exécution locale : Privilégiée pour sa simplicité, sans virtualisation. Sécurité : Système de permissions granulaire demandant confirmation avant chaque action potentiellement dangereuse (ex: suppression de fichiers). Développement rapide : Jusqu'à 100 releases internes/jour, 1 release externe/jour. 5 Pull Requests/ingénieur/jour.

Send us a textLabels make hair feel simple, until they don't. In Curl Myths Pt. 2, we move past the alphabet soup of curl types and dig into what actually matters for real results in hair care. Let's talk texture, not type, and shift the focus to porosity, density, elasticity, moisture–protein balance, and how your scalp and strands respond to water, products, heat, and climate.I share why the popular curl pattern chart feels validating yet fails to guide actual care, how marketing leans on those labels to sell you more, and what your hair's nonverbal cues are trying to tell you when it frizzes, snaps, or refuses to clump.You'll hear a practical breakdown of growth myths versus breakage reality, why DIY masks can push your hair into protein overload, and how to run small, smart experiments that reveal what your natural hair truly needs. We also unpack the chart's origins and biases; and why tightly coiled textures deserve science and respect, not instructions to straighten.Then we rebuild from the ground up with a simple, science-based routine: clarifying and moisturizing shampoos, slip-first conditioners, a balanced deep treatment, a leave-in, and one styling agent that fits your density and goals. For color-treated or relaxed hair, we'll cover when bond builders like K18 or Olaplex fit in, and why they complement, not replace, hydration.Expect clear, actionable guidance on reading porosity, dialing product amounts for density, protecting elasticity, and adjusting your routine for seasons, hard water, and health changes. If you've been stuck choosing products by letters and numbers, this is your permission to switch to observation, patience, and consistency.Support the showAre you a part of our Patreon Community and Family?Join us today and let's continue building and fostering healthier connections with our hair—from the inside out.

Send us a textWatch on YouTubeThe curl chart went viral, but it never learned your life. We sit down with Minnie of Shag Noir Salon ATX to unpack why letters and numbers can't tell you what your hair needs; and what actually can. From porosity and pH to water hardness, climate, and stress, we share a simple way to decode your hair's real behavior and build rituals that work in the real world, not just on a grid. Minnie takes us through her journey working with every texture, the hard-earned lessons of salon education, and the honest talk clients crave: growth versus length retention, the myth of “complicated” natural hair, and why a minimal routine often outperforms a product haul. We break down how to spot influencer noise, when to trust a pro, and how to track what's working with photo journals and small, measured tweaks. You'll hear practical approaches for detangling with tension, choosing lighter milks for low-porosity hair, sealing for high-porosity strands, and using chelating when hard water dulls your results. We also go deeper on texturism and language. Words like “nappy” don't just sting; they shape behavior and stress. We explore how reframing our vocabulary can change how we care for hair, how bias shows up in chairs and feeds, and why preference in technique isn't prejudice but context. If your goal is “soft and manageable,” we show you how to get there without chasing someone else's pattern. If you love a silk press, we set realistic expectations about reversion, maintenance, and strand health. Your hair is a living system; responsive, resilient, and personal. Trade the chart for curiosity, build a ritual you can keep, and make peace with what you have while getting the feel you want. If this conversation helped, follow, subscribe, and leave a review. Share it with someone who's ready to ditch the letters and finally understand their hair.You can connect with Minnie on Instagram personally and professionally at trichophile or shagnoirsalon.Don't forget to follow Kinetra on Instagram Support the showAre you a part of our Patreon Community and Family?Join us today and let's continue building and fostering healthier connections with our hair—from the inside out.

It's Spooky Season—prime time for a wall-to-wall Halloween horror binge. This full audio compilation from the Weekly Spooky horror podcast packs 9 scary stories of monsters, urban legends, ghostly vengeance, and October-night mayhem. Hit play for a cinematic mix of pumpkin curses, headless riders, haunted towns, and parties from hell—perfect for late-night listening, trick-or-treat routes, or fall drives.What's inside (in order):Mischief Night: The Halloween Invasion — Shane Migliavacca: A touring punk band limps into a silent town on Halloween…where the “locals” aren't human anymore. Survival horror across a diner, alleys, and rooftops before the bridge out.Dullahan — Morgan Moore: A new kid—eerily resembling a condemned witch-trial figure—finds himself hunted on a moonlit path by a headless rider bent on collecting. Creepy folklore turned chase-night terror.Origin of the Pumpkin Man — Charles Campbell: Middle-school hijinks at the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee escalate from pranks to explosions…and seed the birth of a grim valley legend. 80s Halloween vibes with a sharp fuse.The Grinner — Henrique Couto: A Halloween-obsessed kid, a coveted VHS, and a scarecrow with a warped smile guarding a candy bowl at a decaying hall. Greed, dares, and a grin you can't forget.Ghost in the Graveyard — Rob Fields: Strickfield extends trick-or-treating to a full week; three friends push to midnight and stir up unfinished business from a summer of horrors. Small-town tradition meets the supernatural.Tricks and Treats — Keith Tomlin: Jack Scratch—an infernal “talent scout”—walks a Midwestern Halloween to sample blood, death, and pain. Interlinked vignettes of wicked people getting the justice they deserve.The Night Stocker — Shane Migliavacca: First night on the job, Halloween shift, “special shipment” in the back, and wolves circling in the parking lot. A grocery aisle turns slasher-stage after hours.Strife of the Party — David O'Hanlon: Glitzy corporate Halloween gala, FX-artist costume flexing, billionaires behaving badly—then the masks come off and the body count climbs. A savage social-horror romp.Burn on the Bayou — L.F. Falconer: A famed Halloween host stages his most ambitious haunted soirée at a ruined manor—while a lover's plot to “solve” a marriage collides with real ghosts and older fires. Gothic, lush, and lethal.Curl up with a pumpkin spice (or something stronger), turn the lights down, and let October do what October does.

They discuss why Hyper was removed from curl, why the last five percent of making it a success was difficult, what the project gained from the 5-year attempt to tackle bringing Rust into a C project, lessons learned for next time, why user support is critical, and the positive long-lasting impact this attempt had.

In this episode, I sit down with Yanika Cordina, the founder and creative mind behind Cordina Hair, a brand built on innovation, determination, and one incredibly clever invention. What started as a DIY experiment to solve her hairstyling challenge has turned into a viral beauty tool trusted by thousands of women worldwide. Yanika walks us through her journey of turning a homemade prototype into a product featured by media outlets and sold globally. What I loved most about this conversation is Yanika's fearless approach to building from scratch, literally. We talk about everything from product development and customer feedback to the emotional rollercoaster of being a solo founder. This is a story about grit, creativity, and staying curious even when the odds feel stacked against you. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: * How a wire, sponge, and hot glue gun led to a viral beauty tool * The moment a beauty editor helped spark massive exposure * Why listening to customer feedback helped evolve the product line * The power of perseverance and learning as you go * How Yanika balances creativity with business growth Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and hear how one small idea—and a whole lot of determination—turned into a brand empowering women to style with confidence.
