The Icarus Syndrome

The Role of Air Power Theory in the Evolution and Fate of the U.S. Air Force

By: Carl H. Builder

At the end of the Reagan era, many in the U.S. Air Force began to express their concerns about the health of their institution. They questioned whether the Air Force had lost its sense of direction, its confidence, its values, even its future. For some, these concerns reflected nothing more than the maturation of the most youthful of America's military institutions. For others it was a crisis of spirit that threatened the hard-won independence of the Air Force. Although the diagnoses for this malaise are as numerous as its symptoms, The Icarus Syndrome points a finger at the abandonment of air power theory sometime in the late 1950s to early 1960s as the single, taproot cause of the problems. That provocative diagnosis is followed by an equally provocative prescription the Air Force must follow to regain its institutional health. Author Carl H. Builder begins with an overview of this crisis of values within the Air Force, along with a litany of concerns about what seems to have gone wrong within that institution. The history of the U.S. Air Force, along with the role played in it by air power theory, is explored and is used to support Builder's thesis. The remainder of the book is an analysis of what went wrong and when, how these wrongs might be corrected, and the challenges for Air Force leadership in the future. Now available in paperback, The Icarus Syndrome will be of great interest to U.S. Air Force professionals, military and aviation historians, and institutional psychologists.

Asynchronous Programming in Rust

Learn asynchronous programming by building working examples of futures, green threads, and runtimes

By: Carl Fredrik Samson

Get a fundamental understanding of asynchronous programming and Rust's futures by working through examples that show you how everything really works Key Features Master asynchronous Rust through examples focusing on key concepts Build a solid understanding of concepts such as coroutines, fibers, futures, and callbacks Explore Rust's futures, craft your own runtime, and excel in handling stacks, ABIs, syscalls, and inline assembly Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionStep into the world of asynchronous programming with confidence by conquering the challenges of unclear concepts with this hands-on guide. Using functional examples, this book simplifies the trickiest concepts, exploring goroutines, fibers, futures, and callbacks to help you navigate the vast Rust async ecosystem with ease. You’ll start by building a solid foundation in asynchronous programming and explore diverse strategies for modeling program flow. The book then guides you through concepts like epoll, coroutines, green threads, and callbacks using practical examples. The final section focuses on Rust, examining futures, generators, and the reactor-executor pattern. You’ll apply your knowledge to create your own runtime, solidifying expertise in this dynamic domain. Throughout the book, you’ll not only gain proficiency in Rust's async features but also see how Rust models asynchronous program flow. By the end of the book, you'll possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to actively contribute to the Rust async ecosystem.What you will learn Explore the essence of asynchronous program flow and its significance Understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism Gain insights into how computers and operating systems handle concurrent tasks Uncover the mechanics of async/await Understand Rust's futures by implementing them yourself Implement green threads from scratch to thoroughly understand them Who this book is for This book is for programmers who want to enhance their understanding of asynchronous programming, especially those experienced in VM’ed or interpreted languages like C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go. If you work with C or C++ but have had limited exposure to asynchronous programming, this book serves as a resource to broaden your knowledge in this area. Although the examples are predominantly in Rust, the intricacies of Rust’s futures are covered in detail. So, anyone with a keen interest in learning Rust or with working knowledge of Rust will be able to get the most out of this book.
