Can We Know Whether a Profiler is Accurate?

Spoiler: yes we can! But it took us figuring out a way to work around the fundamental observer effect.

Can We Know Whether a Profiler is Accurate?

Measuring causes profiles to change, so is there a way to work around it and know whether a profile is accurate?

This is a bad day for quarkus-junit4-mock - a module with some empty JUnit4 classes to allow Testcontainers to run without needing to include JUnit4 on the class path.

... and a great day for all users of #Testcontainers 🥳🎉🎊

Made a java-fmt tool that in addition to make it super easy to format java code, is fast and work from anywhere - it also don't mess with jbang directives.

Kontext:
- Irland hat (mit Luxemburg) praktisch alle großen Zentralen von #BigTech-Unternehmen
- Das Land hat gesamt nur ca 200 Richter. Fälle kosten schnell €100.00+, in meinem Fall bis zu €10 Mio an Prozessriksio.
- Praktisch gilt EU-Recht hier nur am Papier. Real durchsetzbar ist es nicht.. 😐

I have created a thing with #Java that I needed for #Maven and #GraalVM so that I can provide fat-jars (needed for tools that don't do dependency management) that don't behave different in #NativeImage than our normal distributions:

Maybe this is helpful for others, too.
