James Gosling

I've moved over to Mastodon @JamesGosling@universeodon.com. Nothing interesting there (yet). It's not like I'm a prolific user of Twitter.

I had been hoping that Musk might have a shred of social intelligence, but no... So this is my farewell to Twitter. Now I'm entirely on Facebook, at least until Zuckerberg goes from whacky to evil. facebook.com/james.gosling.… gizmodo.com/twitter-layoff…

What a powerful and eloquent contrast between the candidates for senator for Georgia. I find it mind boggling that this race (and many others) is close. Lying morons shouldn’t get a single vote.

A few weeks ago I gave a talk at DEVOXX all about building IoT software and Greengrass from AWS. I finally got around to watching the video. It's pretty decent if you speed it up 1.5x youtu.be/NtrF_SiFQag

@ebennekers I’m pretty sure I was just reading the news. Between Putin and the MAGA movement, there’s a lot of disturbing news these days. The world of software is pretty trouble-free.

If you see James Gosling acting like this, is it time to worry? #Devoxx

@JavaFXpert Gifting schadenfreude

What is the German word for when you squeeze lemon in your water, and then when drinking the water with your straw, suck up a lemon seed and choke on it?

Wonderful! I’m a happy JavaFX user. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do.

@thor_benson I'd wager that it was one of Orange Satan's planned post-presidency revenue streams.

Climate action can’t wait.    That’s why we’re introducing legislation to make sure the EPA can transition us to a clean energy future.

@jonstewart The fact that you don't want the job is one of your strongest qualifications for the job. Follow Zelensky. Or be Elizabeth Warren's veep.

Ummm…No thank you

Run, don't walk, to JDK 17. It's *so* much better. If you're around NYC, there's an event coming up soon to help you learn all you need.

@robreiner Don’t add more justices to the Supreme Court, impeach the justices that committed perjury during their confirmation hearings

@JeffQuesado @juanantoniobm It is sad that you're being held back by Google. If you want to get out of that trap, I'm a huge fan of Gluon gluonhq.com/products/mobil…

For those of you still stuck on JDK8, there's a new Corretto release with all the latest updates and CVE defenses. But please, get off JDK8 as fast as you can. JDK17 LTS is a huge leap in every dimension. github.com/corretto/corre…

@Ty_alXander Corretto is Amazon's supported release of the JDK. Corretto/17 is fully supported within AWS. The performance improvements over JDK8 (particularly for garbage collection) are *dramatic*. Add to that all the new language features. The upgrade is compelling.

@errcraft How is support for JDK17 at aws right now?

I've been having a lot of fun with JavaFX and Scene Builder lately. This new release is great!

@mbk_center All the oligarchs toys and mansions and offshore bank accounts need to be confiscated to help fund the rebuilding of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine are due massive reparation payments from Putin.

Mariupol before it was destroyed by the Russian army 🇺🇦💛💙

For those of you that use Java in Lambdas on AWS, the Lambda team just posted a nice article on performance tuning: aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/…
