    Nulling Out References Won’t Help Your Garbage Collector

    Author: Kirk Pepperdine Original post on Foojay: Read More One of the misconceptions that I continuously run into is that nulling out references in Java helps garbage collection.

    Author: Bruno Borges Original post on Foojay: Read More What’s New in actions/setup-java 5.5.0 If you build Java on GitHub Actions, actions/setup-java is almost certainly the first step in your workflow. It installs a JDK, wires up JAVA_HOME and the PATH, configures Maven settings.xml, sets up dependency caching, and registers Maven toolchains — all before your build even starts. The …

    Why We Moved Our Timefold Java Worker Pods from AMD to ARM64

    Author: Tom Cools Original post on Foojay: Read More When we investigated unexpected performance variance in our Timefold Solver worker pods on our platform, we traced it to hyperthreading on AMD (x86-64) cloud instances. Switching to ARM (ARM64), where each vCPU maps to a physical core, eliminated the problem and roughly doubled effective throughput per dollar for concurrent solver workloads. …

    Closing the Visual Gap Between the Official Lottie Webplayer and Lottie4J

    Author: Frank Delporte Original post on Foojay: Read More A Lottie library is only as good as its output looks. If an animation renders differently in Lottie4J than it does in the official web player, that’s a bug, even when no exception is thrown and the code looks correct. Within the fxfileviewer, there is an app to visually compare the …

    Funding Open Source Without The Bait And Switch: Analytics, Native Maps, TV And More

    Author: Shai Almog Original post on Foojay: Read More Years ago I wrote a piece called Open Source Bait and Switch. The short version: a project is released as open source while it has no business model, a community forms around it, and then the bill comes due.

    This Dependency Update Looked Exactly Like an Account Takeover

    Author: Muhammad Usman Original post on Foojay: Read More I pointed a scanner I have been building at an old Spring project, and it flagged javax.activation. The bump was 1.1-rev-1 to 1.1.1. Prior releases carried a GPG signature. This one did not. If you have read the post-mortems of real supply-chain attacks, that pattern should make you sit up. A …
