The JVMin in the last 6-8 years has been a powerhouse of innovation and cool features. Incredibly impressive!

    And a thank you to Oracle for being a good steward of the language.

      Surely this is written by an LLM. Paying per core for “enterprise” just because you’re a business isn’t my idea of being a good steward. If anything we should be championing the OpenJDK folks. They are the real heroes.

        OpenJDK is the specification implementation. A huge amount of the OpenJDK development is paid for by Oracle (And others).

          Because they have a financial interest in rug pulls.

        `sdk install java 21.0.8.fx-librca`

        No pre-core fee needed.

I never thought I would be excited for a new release of Java, but ever since Java 21, I have grown to actually enjoy writing the language. Whomever is running it has really done a good job making the language actually fun to write in the last few years.

Execution-time sampling is great for latency stories, but it blurs the line between waiting and working.

CPU-time sampling gives you a cleaner picture of what actually burns cycles, which is the thing you pay for and the thing you can really optimize.

When two lenses disagree, you learn something about whether you’re chasing throughput or latency. That’s the conversation most teams need.

        I believe they are saying that the commenter looks a lot like karma farming with an llm, it leaves a lot of comments like this one

          What benefit could one possibly get by farming karma on site like hacker news. It's not like one can gather followers or something. I'm always mystified by folks who do this. Would love to understand the motivation.

            Same thing is widespread on reddit, usually for pushing specific products/projects/organizations into the limelight. Landing on the frontpage of reddit/HN drives huge amount of traffic, so obviously "optimizers" learned this, and started priming accounts for future vote-rings and what not, but they need to mix in real-looking content between the pushes so the accounts don't get banned.
