Nice 👏...blocking while on a synchronized block in virtual thread is not an issue at all.

Huge news. Apple silicon is now available, for free, to all open source repositories on GitHub using Actions 🎉 github.blog/changelog/2024…

Yeah, the biggest async-profiler release so far. Tons of new features and improvements!

John A De Goes Colored functions (async/await) is the $10B mistake. Loom and Go got it right, everyone else complicated things. Google uses real threads w/ a userland scheduler hack they added to the Linux kernel. This is the way.

If null is a $1B mistake, then async is a $10B mistake.

Developers got stuck in 'synchronous is slow' when they should have embraced 'threads should be cheap'.

So instead they reinvented really awful 'cheap threads' without any understanding of what they were doing.

This is insane! Previous already #1 Roy van Rijn did a quantum leap and improved #Java perf by whopping 20%. So cool! github.com/buybackoff/1brc

Looking for something new to learn this year? Come with me on a journey to develop a Java library for eBPF this year. The voyage starts with my first blog post mostlynerdless.de/blog/2023/12/3… and will take us from a hello world example to a fully-fledged Java eBPF library.

Go folks always argued that it doesn't suffer from the billion dollar mistake, but in reality things are much worse...that's why I always prefer null safe languages (like #Kotlin ).. Glad java as a platform is also moving in this direction with Valhalla. reddit.com/r/golang/s/v5C…

OkHttp 5.0.0-alpha.12 has Loom, ConnectionListener, and a year of bug fixes! 😬

'The implementation follows the - 'Fast and Scalable Channels in Kotlin Coroutines' paper'

We released a nice Java ONNX Runtime demo of Stable Diffusion last week.

There is a certain kind of programmer who wants to implement stuff as programs running other programs on whatever specific operating system, passing output of one to the next program that may or may not be installed or at the location or version you expect.

People need to…
