I'm no longer active on Twitter, or even paying attention. I've moved over to Mastodon @[email protected]
Joined October 2009
I've moved over to Mastodon @JamesGosling@universeodon.com. Nothing interesting there (yet). It's not like I'm a prolific user of Twitter.

I had been hoping that Musk might have a shred of social intelligence, but no. So this is my farewell to Twitter. Now I'm entirely on Facebook, at least until Zuckerberg goes from whacky to evil.

The watchdog team was responsible for probing Twitter's algorithm for downstream instances of bias, harm, and abuse.

What a powerful and eloquent contrast between the candidates for senator for Georgia. I find it mind boggling that this race (and many others) is close. Lying morons shouldn’t get a single vote.
Stop what you’re doing and watch this complete takedown of @HerschelWalker by pastor @jamalhbryant. #WeDontNeedAWalker

A few weeks ago I gave a talk at DEVOXX all about building IoT software and Greengrass from AWS. I finally got around to watching the video. It's pretty decent if you speed it up 1.5x

Wonderful! I’m a happy JavaFX user. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do.
We did our first JavaFX release in September 2018 (JavaFX 11). We planned a 6-months cadence, similar to the JDK releases. Four years later, we still keep the train moving forward. It takes blood, sweat and tears, but seeing what developers are doing with JavaFX makes it worth.

For those of you still stuck on JDK8, there's a new Corretto release with all the latest updates and CVE defenses. But please, get off JDK8 as fast as you can. JDK17 LTS is a huge leap in every dimension.

The Corretto build of JDK18 is out. There's a lot to love in JDK18: snippets are a great creature comfort; the vector APIs are sweet (I only wish I needed them these days); the simple HTTP server; Foreign Function & Memory API. So much!

Here's a nice article about asynchronous logging in JDK17. After years (decades?) of hand-rolling async logging, it's great to see it in the JDK. Upgrade to JDK17 as fast as you can. I've been loving it.

While working with an AWS service team to diagnose unexpected Garbage Collection (GC) pauses, the Amazon Corretto team discovered that applications were being throttled by I/O blocking while writing...

“Raise” was never considered. Although, I personally prefer it. Java’s initial design was all about appealing to C/C++ developers. Throw is what C++ called it.
@HelenJoScott Can someone of you, @errcraft, @BrianGoetz, @stuartmarks, @joshbloch, please confirm the word "raise" for "raising an exception" in the #Java language lead to a name conflict in the code for the JVM and therefore "raise" was replaced by "throw"?.

NetBeans 13 is out! I've been using the early releases for a while. It's lovely. Take it out for a spin. Better yet, it's all open source, so you can help make it even better!.
With bundled nb-javac, simplifying the startup experience significantly, a fresh new Light FlatLaf look and feel by default, and partial upgrades for Maven, Gradle, and PHP, #Apache #NetBeans 13 is here, check it out at

I really like this book. It does a great job of integrating a lot of the issues in building sophisticated embedded systems. It goes from concepts to theory to learn-by-doing examples.

Right. Security isn’t a feature you add on. It’s a mindset that has to influence every line of code you ever write. Just like ethics, reliability and performance. We, as software developers, are building the world we will inhabit. Make it a good one.
@tackline Not wrong, but also a counsel of perfection. “Write better code.” But how? You’re right that security can’t be reviewed-in after the fact; it must be written securely in the first place. It follows that all devs (not just “security engineers”) need to learn more about security.
