Every addict has a shadow who follows them.

They learn to move forward, and resist the temptation.

I have a shadow ahead of me, as well.

It poisons my mood and my mind, aiding the shadow behind.

No matter where I look, all I see is darkness waiting.

I accept that I will never see a world of pure light.

I accept the darkness, befriend it, and draw power from it.

In a world of dark, I will radiate light, out of pure spite.

Others will see the light, and I will see those lost in the dark.

My shadow will change my mood on a whim, and I am powerless.

My mood is out of my control. My determination is not.

As a child of the dark, I will serve the light.

I can't control my shadows, I accept them.

Part 7 of the Microsoft Agent Framework Series Complex problems often require specialized expertise working together. Just as human teams have different roles, multi-agent systems combine specialized agents to tackle challenges no single agent could handle alone. Microsoft Agent Framework provides built-in orchestration patterns for coordinating multiple agents. Let’s explore each pattern and…

Imperative Programming Imperative programming describes a sequence of steps that change the program’s state. Languages like C, C++, Java, Python (to an extent), and many others support imperative programming styles.

Declarative Programming Declarative programming emphasizes expressing logic and functionalities without describing the control flow explicitly. Functional programming is a popular form of declarative programming.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Object-oriented programming (OOP) revolves around the concept of objects, which encapsulate data (attributes) and behavior (methods or functions). Common object-oriented programming languages include Java, C++, Python, Ruby, and C#.

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) aims to modularize concerns that cut across multiple parts of a software system. AspectJ is one of the most well-known AOP frameworks that extends Java with AOP capabilities.

Functional Programming Functional Programming (FP) treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and emphasizes the use of immutable data and declarative expressions. Languages like Haskell, Lisp, Erlang, and some features in languages like JavaScript, Python, and Scala support functional programming paradigms.

Reactive Programming Reactive Programming deals with asynchronous data streams and the propagation of changes. Event-driven applications, and streaming data processing applications benefit from reactive programming.

Generic Programming Generic Programming aims at creating reusable, flexible, and type-independent code by allowing algorithms and data structures to be written without specifying the types they will operate on. Generic programming is extensively used in libraries and frameworks to create data structures like lists, stacks, queues, and algorithms like sorting, searching.

A few days ago, Arrowhead’s CEO mentioned that the team was worried that the upcoming weekend would be too much for the game to handle, and it seems those fears have come true. Over the weekend the servers buckled under the influx of players, once again resulting in people unable to play. The reason is that Helldivers 2 saw yet another massive surge in its peak concurrent players, hitting a…
