OrlandoJUG Reading List ::: from JavaSpecialists
Issue 290 - CopyOnWriteArrayList and Collection.toArray()
When is it safe for a CopyOnWriteArrayList to accept the result from a toArray() method? In the past, the only thing that mattered was that the type was Object[]. But this was changed in 2020 to only accept the array if the source was a java.util.ArrayList.Issue 289 - MergingSortedSpliterator
If we have a List>, each stream with sorted elements, how can we generate a sorted Stream, taking one at a time from each stream? In this newsletter we show how to do that with the Stream API and by writing our own MergingSortedSpliterator.Issue 288 - Weakly Consistent Iteration
How consistent is weakly-consistent iteration? And which collections return weakly-consistent iterators? How do we know? Join us as we explore what weakly-consistent means with concrete examples.Issue 287 - @PolymorphicSignature
MethodHandles annotate the invoke() methods with @PolymorphicSignature. In this newsletter we see how this can help to avoid unnecessary object creation.Issue 286 - Discernment on the Shoulders of Giants
Today is the 20th anniversary of The Java Specialists' Newsletter. Time to sit back, relax, grab a coffee and wax lyrically about what makes Java so great (you) and how we can find great mentors in life.Comment Wall

Presentation: Pragmatic Performance - Tales from the Trenches
Ramesh Subramonian shares techniques used to improve the performance of an existing system.
By Ramesh SubramonianSlack Details Its New Role Management Architecture
Slack recently posted a detailed description of the software architecture of its new role management system. Slack needed to build a system that was more flexible than the one it previously had. It created a custom containerized Go-based permission service that integrates with its existing systems over gRPC. As a result, its customers' admins now have granular control over what their users can do.
By Eran StillerArticle: Enhance Your Testing Strategy with Mind Map-Driven Testing
Mind map-driven testing can enable testers to focus on test idea generation, it exposes you to your thinking and enables you to brainstorm and organize your ideas effectively. This article shares ideas and knowledge about mind maps and shows how they can be used as lean documents to plan, organize, record, present, and report on testing.
By Prashant HegdeFacebook Open-Sources Expire-Span Method for Scaling Transformer AI
Facebook AI Research (FAIR) open-sourced Expire-Span, a deep-learning technique that learns which items in an input sequence should be remembered, reducing the memory and computation requirements for AI. FAIR showed that Transformer models that incorporate Expire-Span can scale to sequences of tens of thousands of items with improved performance compared to previous models.
By Anthony AlfordArticle: How to Spread Technical Practices Like TDD in an Organization
One of the success factors for Agile and DevOps is developers changing the way they work and adopting practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD). It’s not something that just happens by itself, and many of the “usual” ways of introducing change fail for TDD. This article outlines some of the things that actually do work and explains “Samman,” which is a coaching method used with developers.
