Most people are thirsting for value objects but I'm mostly looking forward to:

  542: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects
  543: Structured Concurrency

Developers work with certificates a bit too seldom to aquire proficiency with conversions. Being able to use PEM directly will ease a lot of pain.

I've given concurrency a couple of attempts over the years and I don't... like... or understand?... how the existing Java concurrency primitives are supposed to work. The only library that has clicked with me is Awaitility but for some reason Awaitility is intended for testing and not for production. Maybe Structured Concurrency will finally unlock something for me?

While I certainly welcome this in the JDK, in practice it hasn't been a huge issue since a lot of people just use Bouncycastle to get that support.

I'm curious what about Java concurrency hasn't made sense or not clicked? Also in comparison to other languages like Erlang or just in general?

You can also choose to run directly from source with a small penalty at startup and verbosity has decreased for simple use cases. It's still not great for scripting but the situation has been steadily improving over the last couple of years.

  void main() {
    IO.println("Hello world");
  }

  $ time java Hello.java
  Hello world

  real    0m0.662s
  user    0m2.421s
  sys     0m0.198s

  void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    IO.println(InetAddress.getByName(args[0]));
  }

  $ time java Dig.java news.ycombinator.com
  news.ycombinator.com/209.216.230.207

  real    0m1.154s
  user    0m2.379s
  sys     0m0.222s

You can also use a shebang and mark the file as executable on Linux:

  #!/usr/bin/java --source 25
  
  void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    var addr = java.net.InetAddress.getByName(args[0]);
    System.out.println(addr);
  }

C, G, Am and F for some definition of best.

Is there a logic behind this? Can you play any song with just those chords?

Well, without going into music theory (which, ha ha, I am ignorant of), these chords "go together"—they're in the same "key" [1].

(And there are perhaps hundreds of songs that use the same chords [2].)

> Previous blog posts have covered DuckDB’s friendly SQL, including GROUP BY ALL and column selection using SELECT * EXCLUDE (...).

I love the idea of friendly SQL! I often create views with the same shape and would love it if UNION and UNION ALL accepted a list. But it's not in the standard so I've given up hope of it ever happening in PostgreSQL.

    select * from view1 union all view2, view3, view4;

Would that work in MySql? Back in the day it used to do things like "natural join" that just figured out the the common columns to join, but i can't remember if it did that with union.

NATURAL JOIN is actually in the SQL standard; it's not specific to MySQL.

I'm not aware of any databases that allow UNION to take table names directly, although in many cases you can use the TABLE keyword as a shortcut for "SELECT * FROM".

I installed codex yesterday and the first thing I'm doing today is figuring out how bubblewrap works and maybe evaluating jai as an alternative.

Nice article.

Codex uses and ships with bubblewrap on Linux and will attempt to use the version installed on the path before falling back to the shipped version with a warning message.

You should be able to configure the sandbox using https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-approvals-security if you are a person who prefers the convenience of codex being able to open the sandbox over an externally enforced sandbox like jai.

Eclipse Collections also comes with an API that seems nicer than the one provided by the standard library - so it might be worth checking out even if you're not interested in primitives.
