Oracle proposal would create single committee to oversee Java specs

If a new proposal by Oracle is accepted, oversight of Java technical standards will fall under the auspices of a single committee, rather than the current system, which has separate entities for Java EE/SE and ME.

Generatrix - Java Interface Samples

This post will soon contain several Java interfaces for something called a Generatrix. It is the subject of a research article I have submitted to an upcoming IEEE conference. The sample code here will be a supplement to the article for the benefit of the review team and readers, if the article is accepted.

 

Stand By.

Presentation: Beyond the Warehouse: Why BigQuery Alone Won’t Solve Your Data Problems

Sarah Usher discusses the architectural "breaking point" where warehouses like BigQuery struggle with latency and cost. She explains the necessity of a conceptual data lifecycle (Raw, Curated, Use Case) to regain control over lineage and innovation. She shares practical strategies to design a single source of truth that empowers both ML teams and analytics without bottlenecking scale.

Java Explores Carrier Classes to Extend Data-Oriented Programming Beyond Records

The OpenJDK Amber project has published a new design note proposing “carrier classes” and “carrier interfaces” to extend record-style data modeling to more Java types. The proposal preserves concise state descriptions, derived methods, and pattern matching, while relaxing structural constraints that limit records.

Article: From Alert Fatigue to Agent-Assisted Intelligent Observability

As systems grow, observability becomes harder to maintain and incidents harder to diagnose. Agentic observability layers AI on existing tools, starting in read-only mode to detect anomalies and summarize issues. Over time, agents add context, correlate signals, and automate low-risk tasks. This approach frees engineers to focus on analysis and judgment.
