Stuart Marks – @[email protected]

Hi everybody, I've started a Mastodon account: @stuartmarks@mastodon.social I'm not going to bail out of here just yet, but the trend seems to be heading downward.

@base58ed Stream gatherers will soon be in the JDK. There are a few other things I’d like to see like fold() as a stream operation. What else from C++ std algorithms would you like to see?

@stuartmarks a humble question sir. C++ std algorithms library is a treasure trove. Any plans to have these algorithms in Java? I'd reckon the stream gatherers might be the doorway but it must be in std package rather than 3rd party.

@JavaFXpert Amazing…

Attention Dr. Deprecator @stuartmarks

@RadioFreeTom Chuft-Captain.

@RadioFreeTom Very saddened to hear about Carla. I ordered a paper copy of Death of Expertise, Updated, so that I could get a bookplate “signed” by her, but alas, I’ll have to settle for just your signature. 🥲

@kevinb9n Maybe solo instrumental works. Early Venetian Lute Music (Naxos) Bach Cello Suites Bach harpsichord works e.g. Well-Tempered Clavier, Goldberg Variations

Is there classical music that's not quietLLLOOOUUUDDDquietLLLOOOUUUDDD? How would I manage to stick to that? Having to ride the volume control is a pain and not worth it.

@tackline @aphasia0 @starbuxman @java Correct.

@stuartmarks @aphasia0 @starbuxman @java Anything that depends on Java Serialisation deserves to be deprecated for removal.

This discussion was a MUST-listen for any new @java developers but an absolutely-at-all-costs-must-listen for old hat Java developers. @stuartmarks has forgotten more about Java than most of us will ever know and he shares little behind the scenes looks and tidbits for TWO hours nonstop! #legend #java #open #SunMicrosystems #solaris #javafx #postscript youtube.com/live/qC4qlS06D…

@aphasia0 @starbuxman @java For example, Oracle WebLogic 14 supports RMI/T3 and RMI/IIOP (CORBA). I imagine other vendors' products have similar support. Any deprecation/removal of RMI from the JDK would need to ensure that external frameworks can still support RMI as long as they need to. 2/END

@aphasia0 @starbuxman @java Thanks, good info. RMI deprecation is just an idea, not even a draft proposal, so it won't happen for quite some time if ever. It would apply only to the JDK/Java SE and wouldn't remove RMI everywhere. CORBA was removed from JDK 11 but it's still available in other frameworks. 1/

@aphasia0 @starbuxman @java Could you describe the use cases where RMI is still used in industry? Thanks.

@starbuxman @java @stuartmarks Thanks for sharing this. Java developers are going to get jobs for decades if the RMI deprecation is really going to happen. It is still heavily used in the industry!

Finalization is eventually being deprecated. Find out where you’re affected from @java 21 onward by using the --finalization=disabled command line switch

Join @java legend Dr. Deprecator - @stuartmarks himself! - and me for a discussion on the ever changing @java ecosystem youtube.com/live/qC4qlS06D…

@eliaszrq A duplicate detection step is necessary whether an exception is thrown or duplicates are removed (like copyOf). That, plus typical hash-based organization of Set and Map implementations, means that the stream's destination array can't itself be used like toList() does.

@stuartmarks Ah, I see, makes sense now. I guess the deduplication would be needed because the SetN & Set12 throw when there are duplicate items.

@stuartmarks Wondering why JDK 16 added Stream.toList() but not .toSet() because it requires "deduplication"? Current default implementation of toList: (List) unmodifiableList(new ArrayList<>(asList(toArray()))); Why couldn't toSet be: (Set) unmodifiableSet(new HashSet<>(asList(toArray()))); Isn't deduplication native to what a Set is?

@eliaszrq The default impl is mostly unused but is necessary because it's a new method on an interface. The actual impl is here: #L625" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/openjdk/jdk/bl… This impl of toList() deposits stream results directly into an array that's wrapped into a List. Not possible with toSet() or toMap().

@stuartmarks Asking you because you seem to have been active in the original proposal: "toSet() and toMap() are unnecessary, as they both entail post-processing of the stream elements: deduplication for toSet [...]" bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-818…

Thanks to @EricIdle for today's most insistent earworm youtu.be/SVGV6lvNTR4?si…. The only obituary to compliment the man's legs, too.

@MnJackSparrow @Habubrats71 Thanks! This looks like a contemporary satellite view. You can see the additional structure in the outfield that was part of the Coliseum’s 1996 expansion (luxury boxes, etc.) The SR-71 photo was likely taken before that. Many other details between the photos are the same though.

@stuartmarks @Habubrats71 Good catch!

Rare photograph from 80,000 feet by an SR 71 optical bar camera during a training mission in the USA. The 4-inch wide lines delineating car parking spaces are easily discernible when the image is enlarged. Photo credit USAF. This picture is in Paul Crickmore‘s new book “Lockheed Blackbird Beyond the Secret Missions, The Missing Chapters.” I stayed up till 3:00 AM last night reading this book! I am on page 85. They are 525 pages! If interested, you can buy this book next Tuesday Dec 5. #Habubrats .

The Collections Framework offers two implementation for the List interface: ArrayList and LinkedList. How can you choose the best one for your application? @JosePaumard discusses in this #JEPCafe. social.ora.cl/6014ue5cO

@naotoj Ha! And I bet if you put a bigger spoiler on that Escort, it’ll be as fast as an M3. 😆
