It arrived! My new 11” iPad Pro M4 just arrived. My 6 year old iPad will find a new home with my grandkids. This will be my 3rd iPad.
Do you remember the first computer virus that you encountered? For me it was Cascade, virus.wikidot.com/cascade. We thought it was cool. It infected IBM/MS DOS floppies. It would cause characters to fall to the bottom on the screen, many years before The Matrix. What was your first computer virus?
In my session at JavaZone on the Java Microbenchmark Harness I had, in addition to slides, some live coding. I may never do live coding again. Not that it did not work but because of how I looked for most of the presentation, staring at my laptop screen with my head down. 1/2
When you want to look up something online, is Wikipedia the first source you read? It is for me so today I donated $52 to #wikipedia. Consider making your own donation.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JavaZone last week in Oslo. My presentation on the Java Microbenchmark Harness went well although Even going 10 minutes over my time, I could have used another 15 min. Here is the link to the video of my session. 2024.javazone.no/program/1878...
X/Twitter has become a cesspool of racist, misogynist, fascist, and anti-semitic messages. A recent tweet denied the holocaust, attributed WWII to the Jews, the killing of millions of Russians to Jewish Bolsheviks, and more. I reported it. 1/3
Thank you, Adele, for the photo. That’s a wrap. Session went well, only went over my time by 10 minutes. I fly home from Oslo tomorrow morning.
Hello Oslo.
A frequent question that I see is asking how you acquire new skills. One technique I have used is to prepare a presentation on the topic. I have been poking the JMH for almost 3 weeks to prepare for a presentation in Oslo. I now have a thorough knowledge of how to use the JMH.
