I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I know how busy you must be. It's just we could do more to promote this site. Does the twitter thingie work for you?
Hey Mike! Conference is awesome. Hoping to post talks as soon as they're up. My talk os tomorrow! Also that's great I would love to hear his talk!!! We're doing a lot with AOP and metaprogramming
Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.
So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.
TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
When you create a profile for yourself you get a personal page automatically. That's where you can be creative and do your own thing. People who want to get to know you will click on your name or picture and…
NVIDIA unveiled NVLM 1.0, an open-source multimodal large language model (LLM) that performs strongly on both vision-language and text-only tasks. NVLM 1.0 shows improvements in text-based tasks after multimodal training, standing out among current models. The model weights are now available on Hugging Face, with the training code set to be released shortly.
Java applications passed the 1 Billion Row Challenge (1BRC) in 1.5 seconds. 1BRC creator Gunnar Morling detailed their optimizations at the InfoQ Dev Summit Munich 2024. General optimizations applicable to all Java applications cut the runtime from 290 seconds to 20 seconds. Getting to 1.5 seconds required niche optimizations that most Java applications should forego, except for possibly GraalVM.
On October 1, 2024, OpenAI SF DevDay unveiled innovative features, including a Real-Time API enabling instant voice interactions and function calling. Enhanced model distillation and vision fine-tuning empower developers to customize AI for diverse applications. Upcoming events in London and Singapore will further expand these capabilities.
Linux 6.12 will officially include support for real-time processing in its mainline thanks to a PR that enables PREEMPT_RT on all supported architectures. While aimed at applications requiring deterministic time guarantees, like avionics, robotics, automotive, and communications, it could bring improvements to user experience on the desktop, too.
Zahan Malkani shares how they built a microblogging service to compete with Twitter with a small team that shipped a new social network in a few months.

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. I know it's so late getting back to you but I don't check this website very often.
Thanks for the invitation and the birthday wishes, Mike!
Thanks. I'm interested either way (either 10/25 or the rescheduled day).
Sure Mike. I can do that

Thank you MIchael!
Thank you Mike for making me a part of this group. I feel very welcomed. Looking forward to learn and share!
Thanks Michael, to have me in the group!
I think I’d want to attend a few meetings to get a flavor for the group before jumping into a speaking role…
Thanks Michael for adding me in OJUG
I'm excited to attend events on Java related technologies
Thanx Michael, great to be here
Thanks so much for allowing me in to the group! I'm looking forward to working with and learning from all of you!
