Peace, Michael, thx for adding me. I've hung out with OJUG, appreciate Codetown's meetup and social tools. I'm planning to try some professional blogging on the site!
Thank you for welcoming me into the community. I'm still a student at Valencia, and will start at UCF in the summer. I want to start building relationships within the community. This seemed like a good first step.
Hi Mike, it's great to meet you. I just left you a voice-mail as well. I would definitely be interested in posting out open positions. Please let me know the appropriate steps. We are looking to hire quickly so any help you can offer would be great. We are located in CANVS in downtown Orlando. Thanks!
Thanks so much Michael for your warm welcome! I look forward to meeting you soon as well as other members of the group at the upcoming Orlando meeting on February 20! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks! I would have come to Sarasota for the event, even though it's a bit of a haul, if only because I'm an amature brewer myself. I hardly know anything about Java except for the basics and the awareness from a decade of work that I can do (nearly?) anything in Java which I know how to do in C#. From there, it's just about learning what's common in the community and picking up tips and tricks from the experts.
Hi Michael, I'm a Software Engineer at the company. I work on email development, various data driven projects, reports web services, etc. Pretty much anything programming. Thanks for welcoming me!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
When you create a profile for yourself you get a personal page automatically. That's where you can be creative and do your own thing. People who want to get to know you will click on your name or picture and…
Meta AI released Llama 3, the latest generation of their open-source large language model (LLM) family. The model is available in 8B and 70B parameter sizes, each with a base and instruction-tuned variant. Llama3 outperforms other LLMs of the same parameter size on standard LLM benchmarks.
Azure Monitor is Microsoft's cloud monitoring service for gathering, visualizing, and analyzing telemetry data from applications, infrastructure, and networks. The company recently added a data collection capability in preview with the edge pipeline, which enables the collection and routing of telemetry data before it's sent to the cloud.
WebAssembly has expanded its scope from browsers to other domains like cloud and edge computing. It uses the WebAssembly Component Model (WCM) to enable seamless interaction between libraries from different programming languages, such as Rust, Python, and JavaScript, promoting a true polyglot programming environment.
JobRunr v7 now defaults to virtual threads for applications using JDK 21, optimizing concurrency for I/O-bound tasks and allowing more jobs to run simultaneously. This update maintains compatibility with Java 8 and supports GraalVM native mode. RedisStorageProvider and ElasticSearchStorageProvider are planned to be dropped in future releases. MongoDB driver is also upgraded.
The latest release of container management tool Podman brings a complete rewrite of the podman machine command to improve hypervisor support on macOS and Windows. Additionally, it now supports OCI artifacts in manifest files, adopts Pasta by default for rootless networking, and improves the containers.conf configuration file.
