Thread Pools

Thread pools on the JVM should usually be divided into the following three categories:

CPU-bound
Blocking IO
Non-blocking IO polling

Each of these categories has a different optimal configuration and usage pattern.

“Why isn’t the new year on the winter solstice?”

The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.

Like, seriously, people notice "OCTOber" and "DECEMber" and say, "hey, those mean 'eight' and 'ten', but they're the 10th and 12th months, what's up with that?".

If you've got a little more history, you'll know that July and August are named after Julius and Augustus Caesar, and think, "oh, they added those two months and bumped the rest of the months back."

“Why isn’t the new year on the winter solstice?”

Nope. The Romans were way, way worse at calendars than that.
