Never heard of those, but can recommend trying wrk, gatling, k6, or jmeter.

Concurrency primitives are not only about coroutines and channels, but also about synchronizing access to shared resources, and this is where Go doesn’t have much to offer compared to Java/Kotlin.

IntelliJ IDEA is sometimes like an LLM. It can't admit when it doesn't know and insists on something that's simply not true.

quite predictable though

Certainly, HarfBuzz is one of those.

Yes, of course. I am glad Maven 4 is nearly here and full of incredible improvements.

Fair enough, but I'd rather see new versions of tools forcing upgrades. Maven 3 is great with Java 8+. Why Maven 4 doesn't require the latest LTS is a question for me.

I wonder why “Requires Java 17 to run Maven” and not 21 🤔

Congrats! 😃

Overall, I agree, however, most people would rather use a real programming language than wrestle with shell complexity, especially when portability is needed. Implementing cross-shell portability is an absolute headache.

what if I don't want to clutter my machine with *THIS* dependency?

Thanks for the post!
Been beating around the bush for a while, skimming through various articles, and finally decided not to touch this paradoxical thing, simultaneously attractive and repulsive

The only thing that negatively affects my perception of bluesky is so-called eventual consistency.
When will the displayed number of my posts and followers be the same as the actual number of my posts and followers?

Kirill 🍉 @rxynrg.bsky.social · Dec 25

I love bluesky, it has a much smoother UI compared to Twitter’s bloated UI with poor performance

Wow, looks very promising!

I have been desperately waiting for the Apache Maven 4.0 release all year. Sadly, it does not seem like it will be released in 2025 either. However, I am optimistic about the future and look forward to the release 🥲

Thanks, Hussein, appreciate your knowledge sharing!

By the way, if I’m not mistaken, it should also be possible to set or unset this option after the connection has been created. For example, you could enable TCP_NODELAY for certain write operations and then disable it for others.
