Reading List ::: from JavaSpecialists
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.Issue 322 - Throwing InterruptedException Early
The LinkedBlockingQueue and LinkedBlockingDeque behave slightly differently when methods put() and take() are called by a thread that happens to be in the "interrupted" state. The LBQ throws an InterruptedException immediately when we call take(), even if the queue contains elements. The LBD, however, only throws InterruptedException if the deque is empty and the thread would enter the WAITING state. In this newsletter we show how a dynamic proxy can make the behaviour consistent.Comment Wall

Hello Juggies!
The time has come for someone else to take the reins with this group. It’s been incredibly rewarding for over 20 years and I thank all of you for your contributions. Hopefully I will see many of you at the next meet up.
Best regards,
Mike
