OrlandoJUG Reading List ::: from JavaSpecialists
Issue 327 - ShuffleGatherer
Instead of shuffling our stream at the end in the collect() method, we can also shuffle it in stages using the new stream gatherers. This allows us to shuffle sections at a time and even support infinite streams.Issue 326 - Stream Gathering with a Different Distinct Function
A few years ago, we tried to create a new distinct() function for a Stream. It wasn't pretty. In this newsletter we revisit that adventure using the new Stream Gatherers from Java 24.Issue 325 - Be a Distinguished Java Engineer in the Age of Vibe Coding
We are all amazed how AI can help us in everyday tasks. It can even write Java code. But "Show me the Pull Requests" (Evans) sums it up nicely. We do not (yet) see AI massively improving open source projects.Issue 324 - Sequenced LinkedHashSet
LinkedHashSet implements the SequencedCollection interface, allowing us to addLast(), addFirst() and even reverse the collection. This sometimes causes some surprises.Issue 323 - Visiting All Threads (Including Virtual)
In this newsletter, we explore how we can visit the entire hierarchy of threads in our virtual machine, including virtual threads. We do this using the composite, visitor and facade design patterns.Comment Wall
