Java Off-Heap

So Coding Agents are here to stay. And they are hitting everywhere we go! (at a cheap price!). So what do we make of them. Do they help? do they hinder? Do we like using them? or, is it risky to use them? There are now practical questions we ponder with as Github Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Intellij AI Assistant and others are accessible at the click of a button! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap 📰 News IO Domains Retiring https://x.com/weldpond/status/1843740131200549150?s=46&t=giYt-PiLgtO77Q8Hgk7SSg Disney Done with Slack https://fortune.com/2024/09/20/disney-slack-data-breach-nullbulge/ JDK 24 Schedule https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/24/ Jakarta EE Updates Jakarta EE 11 (December 2024) Jakarta EE Platform Project (Jakarta EE 12 starting) Apache Tomcat 11: https://www.infoq.com/news/2024/11/tomcat-11/?topicPageSponsorship=12a38e15-6b5e-4f04-aae9-be25b4dc208e Fall of StackOverflow https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow 💬 Discussion Topic State of AI and the Developer Experience 🎤 Conferences Jakarta EE Livestream: December 3, 2024 jChampions: January 23, 24, 27, 28, 2025 DevNexus: March 4-6, 2025

Allright, so in the middle of summer, and what better way to fight the summer heat than to have a cold one and talk about tech, right? We got together again and discuss the cool things that are happening (Java 22, Kotlin 2.0), and then we take a detour on looking at what's happening in the open source space (RedHat prunes Middleware, OCI Stops Funding Grails), and we try to figure out where would it end.

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum boogeyman shows up).  In all, like all DevNexus episode we also have a GAME!

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.  Here we dive into what it means to be an java developer in this job market (should you learn AI's darling language, python? we ponder), and our collection of tips / tricks to navigate it.  In addition we tackled some of the stuff we learned over the holiday, including the One Billion Row Challenge! (an exciting view of where Java is headed and the things it's doing). So start on those new year resolutions and let's get rolling with the new OffHeap episode! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - One Billion Row Challenge (https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/)  - OBRC Results (https://www.morling.dev/blog/1brc-results-are-in/)  - GlassFish 8.0.0-M1 (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/releases/tag/8.0.0-M1)  - JDK 22 In Rampdown (https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/22/#Schedule)  - Apache Groovy 5.0.0 in Alpha 5 - (https://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-5.0.html)  - JPL Layoffs (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-workforce-update)  - Kotlin 2.0.0 (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew-eap.html) Conferences:  - Devnexus April 9 - 11 (https://www.devnexus.com)  - IntelliJ IDEA Conf - March 6-7 (https://lp.jetbrains.com/intellij-idea-conf-2024/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=idea&utm_campaign=intellijideaconf)  - Spring I/O Barcelona May 30-31   - Community Over Code NA Denver October 7-10 (https://communityovercode.org/)  - Dev2Next Lone Tree, Colorado Sept 30 — Oct 3, 2024 https://www.dev2next.com/  - JChampions Conference 2024 Videos Available (https://www.youtube.com/@JChampionsConf/streams)

ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love.  But what does that mean? Is open source over? or are we transitioning to a new reality? Is legislation going to help or hinder (like the EU CRA proposed laws)? Come take a listen as we dive deep into the open source ecosystem and how is it changing right before our eyes! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap Java Specialist Newsletter (hi Dr. Heinz!) https://www.javaspecialists.eu/ Netbeans 18 https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases Corretto is most popular JVM https://devclass.com/2023/05/02/amazon-now-the-most-popular-java-development-kit-vendor-for-production-according-to-observability-survey/ Layoffs at Redhat  https://wraltechwire-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/wraltechwire.com/2023/04/24/red-hat-cutting-hundreds-of-jobs-ceo-says-in-letter-to-employees/?amp=1, Sonatype https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/10/sonatype_job_cuts/ Videos for KotlinConf 2023 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/05/kotlinconf-2023-recordings/?_ga=2.192371426.99327395.1684372006-290954218.1684372006&_gl=1*131l38a*_ga*MjkwOTU0MjE4LjE2ODQzNzIwMDY.*_ga_9J976DJZ68*MTY4NDM3MjAwNi4xLjAuMTY4NDM3MjAwNi4wLjAuMA..

It IS time...and everyone is talking about it! With the new Large Language Models like OpenAI and Github Copilot, and Bard (and all the others), what does it mean for developers? Is it an existential threat? a doomsday scenario? or is all being blown out of proportion? Well, we start diving into the question on this episode with the usual suspects!

We are at it again! We went to DevNexus in Atlanta, and we have the WHOLE GANG showing up! It has been great catching up in person and oh boy, there's so much tech to talk about! For this episode we have Brian Fox (@Brian_Fox), CTO of Sonatype talk about the importance of security across the supply chain. With new legislation coming regulating security and software pipelines it is the right time to discuss what is our role as developers in this.  An incredibly fun episode, with a quiz at the end (Powered by none other than ChatGPT) is an episode you don't want to miss! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap  

So there it is! We go deep covering the interesting news of Spring Boot 3, and Spring Framework 6... and looking at the BASELINE requirement of Java 17... what does that mean for the industry? Are we now becoming more proactive in upgrading? (or do we still upgrade only when we need to?). This is a great episode where we explore what does it mean to have a high cadence, and what it also means to have our dependencies require an upgrade. We are much more dynamic now! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - GlassFish 7 Released - December 2022 (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish/releases/7.0.0)  - Kotlin 1.8.0 Released - December 2022 (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew18.html)  - JDK 20 in Rampdown: (https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/20/)  - Twitter “Settlements”? - https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-employee-severance-agreements-2023-1  - Airline tech issues    - Southwest Explains its Meltdown (https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/business/southwest-meltdown-hearing/index.html)    - FAA       - https://abcnews.go.com/US/computer-failure-faa-impact-flights-nationwide/story?id=96358202      - https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/faa-ground-stop-causes/index.html  - Jakarta EE 11 having a Java 21 baseline (https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg03898.html)  - Year In Review     - Tech Layoffs     - Conference Attendance         - Declined over the year     - Major software release         - Jakarta EE 10 (https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/10/)         - Spring Framework 6/Spring Boot 3 (https://spring.io/blog/2022/11/24/spring-boot-3-0-goes-ga)  

So, someone forgot to click on the "publish" button for December and we have an extra episode queued up! (Oh well) We cover the new virtual conferences coming up for the Year 2023 that are coming up + we dive into the massive tech layoff happening (including of course twitter).  We then dive head-first on an ever-relevant question. "If you were to start a new project now, which Java version would you use". Do you stick with 11? Or jump into 17? or try a non-lts with 19? or (gasp), you go to 8? We dive into the pros/cons and what our esteem panel of pundits have to say about it.

If you haven't heard, Akka has changed is open source license (from Apache to Commercial). And if you have been using Akka, that's significant! We have seen this happen a couple of times to a lesser extent in cloud products (MongoDB and Elastic comes to mind), but (we think) this is the first time we see a license change in something that's so fundamental as an enterprise integration framework like Akka Join us as we explore the ramifications of this move, both for Lightbend, and for the industry. Does this mean that Open Source and its business models (like paid extended features or tooling, or support contracts) is over? Would Akka be forked? Would it sink or swim? Will Lightbend survive. We don't know all (or any of the answers) but we sure spend time trying to understand what are the possible answers to these questions. https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences  - JakartaOne LiveStream - Dec 6  - SpringOne - Dec 6 - 8  - jChampions Conf - Jan 19, 20, 23, 24  - Devnexus - Apr 4-6, CFP closes Nov 15 News  -Jakarta EE 10:   https://blog.payara.fish/whats-new-in-jakarta-ee-10  - Spring Framework 6 RC Available now, GA next month  - Spring Boot 3 RC Available now, GA next month  - JavaFX 19:   https://www.infoworld.com/article/3673888/javafx-19-rich-client-java-platform-arrives.html Discussion  - License change Akka https://www.lightbend.com/blog/why-we-are-changing-the-license-for-akka https://flink.apache.org/news/2022/09/08/akka-license-change.html  

So markets are changing, and we have a crazy two years. FAANG and others are really really looking for new developers, and have been poaching any talent they can grab. Even so, winds seem to be changing and a slowdown looms over the horizon.  So in that spirit, we revisit what is it mean to be in the job market today, and we talk about the advice we can give to those that are looking to either jump to a new opportunity or advance their career. Offering differing perspectives from differing career paths this one is a great one to listen (and re-listen to) http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences JavaOne is back https://www.oracle.com/cloudworld/javaone/ Apache Con (New Orleans Oct 3 - 6)  https://www.apachecon.com/ Spring One (December 6-8) https://springone.io/ News Microsoft Joins Jakarta EE Working Group:  https://twitter.com/i/events/988801816338096128 Spring Framework 6 M6 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework JDK 19 Features https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/19/ Discussion Elon Musk tells Tesla no more work-from-home https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/01/tech/elon-musk-tesla-ends-work-from-home/index.html  

Oh my! So this episode Freddy couldn't be in (He was busy running a Seattle JUG meetup), but have no Fear! As Bob, Michael and Josh took the helm on recording (and making sure that I was red with jealousy at not being there). Covering the news (Javaone is coming!), to the latest topics (Java dead again?) we have a breath of fresh air, and "back to roots" format on how we used to record these.  So come and start listening to this episode, in the nostalgic format of how we started! http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences JavaOne is back https://www.oracle.com/cloudworld/javaone/ Apache Con (New Orleans Oct 3 - 6)  https://www.apachecon.com/ Spring One (December 6-8 CFP closes June 20 registration is currently open) DevTalks Romania:  https://www.devtalks.ro/about/ News Loom to Java 19 https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/05/java-news-roundup-apr25-2022/ Hilla Spring for GraphQL 1.0 https://spring.io/projects/spring-graphql  - Spring Boot 2.7  - Spring Framework 6 - M4  - Spring Boot 3 - M3 Project Leyden https://openjdk.org/projects/leyden/ Kotlin 1.7.0 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2022/06/kotlin-1-7-0-released/ Lightbend Kalix.  https://www.kalix.io  

So we did it! We got together at the DevNexus Conference and produced a live show! With Okta's super famous Matt Raible, and of course our own Danno Hinojosa (and Bob and I), we got together and talked Security (what does it mean to be secure in today's day and age and how it has changed from 10 years ago) So come and enjoy one of our most livelier shows as we quiz Matt and Danno on the most notorious vulnerabilities that has happened in the past 15 years!

So there are slow news month, and there are some months where there's so much news that is hard to comprehend. For one hand, we have seen the world opening up little by little again. There seems to be a good uptick of new in-person conferences and the Java ecosystem keeps moving on! On the other hand, the world is changing rapidly and unexpectedly, and we find ourselves watching a new war unfold. There are ripples that happen in all parts of the world, and tech is not exempt. In this episode we talk about what's happening in the tech space as the war between Russia and Ukraine unfolds (including companies stopping doing business, and open source vulnerabilities among others) http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences: Oracle Live (Java Innovation March 22/24) https://t.co/QaacSmzwAV DevNexus (Apr 11) https://www.devnexus.com J on the Beach (Apr 22)  https://jonthebeach.com/speakers SpringOne Tour Chicago April 26-27 Toronto June 7-8 New York June 28-29 Seattle July 12-13 Bangalore September 13-14 Atlanta October 4-5 Amsterdam October 11-12 JFokus (May 2) (hybrid)  https://www.jfokus.se/ Microsoft JDConf (May 4) (online)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/events/learntv/jdconf-2022/ GeeCon Krakow (May 11) (in person) https://www.geecon.org/ Devoxx UK (May 11) (In person) https://www.devoxx.co.uk/ jPrime (May 25) (in person) https://jprime.io/ Spring I/O Barcelona May 26-27 (in person) https://2022.springio.net/ Jnation (June 7) (in person) https://2022.jnation.pt/ JBCN Conference (July 18) (in person) https://www.jbcnconf.com/2022/ JavaZone (9/7) (in person)  https://2022.javazone.no/#/ SpringOne (12/6) https://springone.io/ NetBeans 13 Released https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb13/index.html Jakarta EE 10 Coming Soon https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jakartaee-platform/jakartaee10/JakartaEE10ReleasePlan JDK 18 Release (3/22) https://jdk.java.net/18/release-notes Google Sunsets Legacy G Suite https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/28/google-will-let-legacy-g-suite-users-migrate-to-free-google-accounts/ Daylight Savings Time permanent? https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/15/politics/senate-daylight-saving-time-permanent/index.html Discussion: Tech companies that left https://www.cnet.com/news/politics/what-companies-have-left-russia-see-the-list-across-tech-entertainment-and-financial-institutions/  

Ok, so the fun part about being in the Java Ecosystem is that it's always trying new things, and the interesting new "thing" that seems to be happening is the ability to offload your "JIT" (Just In Time) compilation into the Cloud!  We discuss how this changes (or maybe not?) things, but is interesting to see how we are enhancing our regular "code, build, deploy" to have more complex workflows behind-the-scenes that allow you to become "faster", and more performant (and ultimately save some Cloud $) We also comb over the news, with the big NVIDIA / ARM deal falling through, costing around 1.25 billion dollars (insert Dr. Evil theme here) since it was done as a deposit for a successful transaction. Our local curdmudgeon offered his services as an money-holder and arbitrer for future NVidia / ARM contracts!

There are times when there's something in tech that starts brewing, and creating huge waves. We are just going through those times with Bitcoins and now the newly created Non-Fungible-Tokens (or NFT for short). If you have been surrounded by "bored apes", or "lucky goats" and wanted to understand what NFTs are (or aren't), then take a listen!  In addition we revisit the big npm-libs-colors debacle on which an open source contributor single-handedly sent the javascript world scrambling as he poisoned-pill his own work (what does it mean to rely on open source dependencies from individual contributors?). It's a tough topic because we are really built most of our technology on open source.   http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap News Devnexus https://devnexus.org/ jChampions - January 2022 https://jchampionsconf.com/schedule.html npm Lib corruption https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dev-corrupts-npm-libs-colors-and-faker-breaking-thousands-of-apps/ Spring Boot 3.0.0.M.1 Released/ https://spring.io/blog/2022/01/20/spring-boot-3-0-0-m1-is-now-available Spring Framework 6.0.0.M2 Released https://spring.io/blog/2021/09/02/a-java-17-and-jakarta-ee-9-baseline-for-spring-framework-6 Tomee 9.0.0 - Jakarta EE 9.1 Web Profile Certified  https://tomee.apache.org/ *Discussion* NFTs  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token NFT Music Video (by @fguime) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBnSK3txVGo The Web3 Fraud (Opinion Nicholas Weaver) https://www.usenix.org/publications/loginonline/web3-fraud

Hopefully you have had some time to R&R, but if you were in tech around Dec 2020, you heard that there was this massive security incident around Log4j. It affected almost everyone, from large to small companies, and if you work in Java, chances are that you might've to work on it too (and if you haven't, it's a good idea to double-check your code) It has a severity of "10", which is rare, and what makes it hard to ignore. If you want to understand what it was about, and how it got there, then take a listen.
