Issue 306 - Measuring compact strings memory savings

JEP 254 replaced the char[] in our Strings with byte[]. How much memory does this save in our Strings? In this newsletter we show how we can determine this from a heap dump file.

Issue 305 - Contributing BigInteger.parallelMultiply() to OpenJDK

BigInteger has clever algorithms for multiplying large numbers. Unfortunately multiply() is single-threaded. Until now. In this newsletter I describe how the new parallelMultiply() method works and also how we can all contribute to the OpenJDK.

Issue 304 - ObjectInputFilter

JEP 290 introduced the ObjectInputFilter, which we can use to filter objects returned from an ObjectInputStream. We examine three ways of making filters, through subclassing, with factory methods and with text patterns, and then show some interesting edge cases.

Issue 303 - Null Keys and Values in Maps

Some Map implementations allow null keys and values. This leads to funky behaviour when calling putIfAbsent() and the compute functions. In this newsletter we look a bit more closely at the issues at hand when allowing nulls in maps.

Issue 302 - Virtual Thread Deadlocks

Virtual threads can deadlock, just like platform threads. Depending on what state they are in, this might be quite challenging to analyze. In this newsletter we explore some tricks on how to find and solve them.

The survey also found that the perceived usefulness of a practice is highly correlated with the adoption of that practice.
