Great article! Will the new metric be exposed in JFR recordings as well?

Perhaps also of interest is the storage format that Fedora 6/7 uses. https://ocfl.io/

I recently wrote an extremely basic Rust web service using Axum. It had 10 direct dependencies for a total of 121 resolved dependencies. I later rewrote the service in Java using J…

Yeah, currently you have to be really careful about what you do in virtual threads. However, they are actively working on a solution to the issue with synchronized blocks. Once tha…

The article makes it sound like the feature set has been finalized, but is that really the case? I'm struggling to find evidence for this, and the official page does not seem to in…

The comments about this feature are always so tiresome. Please just scroll down and read the "Alternatives" section at the bottom. They're not idiots. They're working within backwa…

The company I interned at back in '08 had multiple Tichu games going daily over lunch. It's where I learned to love the game. Sadly, they had a hiring freeze when I graduated in '0…

Agreed. Obra Dinn is a weird example here as there's nothing else like it.

It's one thing to say, "very little has been added between Java 8 and Java 21," and something else entirely to say, "newer features are often criticized as not being as good as the…

> I actually feel like very little has been added between Java 8 and Java 21. var, records, sealed types, and pattern matching make a huge difference in how Java is written. A lot …

I think this perfectly demonstrates my point. Thanks for sharing. Java was perceived as "enterprisey and non-open-source-friendly". It's also interesting to hear that a Java deploy…

My fear is that Java is now only popular in a professional setting, and is no longer of interest in the broader community. This is sad to me because I personally love the features …

When did you last use it? It _does_ support docker compose. Has for a while now actually. I love it on Linux. The Mac version is not as smooth yet, but, for my use case, still work…

I really don't like that ActivityPub does not support encryption. I wanted to setup an instance of one of these platforms for friends and family to use, but hated the thought of ha…

A few months ago I started playing with using Matrix as a janky social media replacement. The idea was to setup a space with rooms that I post in. One room might be a public, unenc…

Thank you for the recommendations. I will check them out. To be fair, it's been a couple years since I last looked, and at that time it wasn't that there were _no_ other light them…

It's odd to me that there's essentially no competition to Solarized Light when it comes to light color schemes, and all of the focus is on dark. Personally, I don't like dark theme…

I think I saw that Chris Remo doesn't even work at Valve anymore

I did an "epistemic spot check" of the section on Against the Grain, which caught my eye because I just finished reading the chapter on state formation in The Dawn of Everything. R…

I think there is some truth in what stevage said. Usually when we come home the cats get up and are unsettled due to the change in routine. I try to get them settled on the guest b…

I do the opposite for my cat. He's a very affectionate boy. He likes to sleep with us, but we'd prefer he didn't because we have a small bed and it makes our sleep worse. So, my so…
