Gerrit Grunwald, aka @hansolo_ on twitter, has just ported his Swing based gauges and meters framework known as SteelSeries to JavaFX as part of the JFXtras-lab project. I can't tell you how many times since Java AWT first came out, that I have had to use meters…

One of the cool new features of the JavaFX 2.2 developer preview release is a new Canvas node that allows you to do free drawing within an area on the JavaFX scene similar to the HTML 5 Canvas. You can download this release for Windows, Mac, and Linux from JavaFX Developer Preview.
Being adventurous, I decided to take the JavaFX Canvas for a spin around the block. In doing…

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.

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.

Vercel has released Skills.sh, an open-source tool designed to provide AI agents with a standardized way to execute reusable actions, or skills, through the command line.

Cursor has published Agent Trace, a draft open specification aimed at standardizing how AI-generated code is attributed in software projects. Released as a Request for Comments (RFC), the proposal defines a vendor-neutral format for recording AI contributions alongside human authorship in version-controlled codebases.

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.
