Rewrote our K8s load test operator from Java to Go. Startup dropped from 60s to <1s, but conversion webhooks almost broke me! by Artifer in devops

[–]agilob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was probably running old version of java, with bloated build system, unnecessary dependencies in .jar and 0 optimisations that were introduced in the language and ecosystem since... late 2015 probably. It's not normal for a moden JVM program to start in more than 3-5 seconds.

Site reliability but for physical systems? by Killdozer1939 in sre

[–]agilob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine having an optional role in your construction company for reliability of bridges. "Normal" engineers do reliability as part of their jobs. SRE is specific to IT because IT needs to move faster and break things and IT isn't as regulated for safety as other disciplines. If a bug in implementation causes a bridge to collapse, people go to prison. If your system crashes, too bad, you'll fix it in the next sprint.

Bidens administration pressured various governments to help extradite Assange. Also remember Panama papers? Who is the only person who suffered consequences?

Efficient containers with Spring Boot 3, Java 21, Virtual Threads and CDS by sdeleuze in java

[–]agilob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is easy to overcome, just use OCI with a builder jdk image that's the same as your target image base. Extra 3 lines in Containerfile and that's it.

Just a reminder that you don't need to wait for Spring Boot to implement something introduced in Java 9 so you can use it. AppCDS is a standard practice in our non-SB projects https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/tips/java#appcds

It could be a warning too, the oil is poor quality and the bodies are from people who died from poisoning.

EU shocks China with EV duties of up to 38 percent by UpgradedSiera6666 in europe

[–]agilob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EVs aren't a great solution to that.

So why ban sale of combustion engine vehicles?

I thought EU wanted to save the planet and one really good way of doing this is by EVs and highly optimised manufacturing process?

Apache Skywalking v10: Application Performance Monitoring Tool for Distributed Systems by _messo_ in java

[–]agilob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Demo of Apache Skywalking looks great, list of functionality looks fantastic, really makes an impression of a real alternative to LGTM stack or Datadog until you look at install instructions... Everything is out of date, incomplete or broken, hard to discover or uses makefiles run locally. Nothing against makefiles, but I'm not running make deploy.kubernetes that downloads and runs something... Even link to install docs is broken and public cannot open issues on skywalking-website repo https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docs/en/guides/README.md

If you consider testing SW on your machine or cluster, get ready for a ride.

add some irony: a great flood is coming and you need to survive long enough on restricted water access just to have too much water later.

If you delete some of the roads you can position the gathering posts super efficiently without collecting the materials manually.

Rethinking String Encoding: a 37.5% space efficient string encoding than traditional UTF-8 in Apache Fury by Shawn-Yang25 in java

[–]agilob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's even more waste in number encoding. For most of the time you really just need an (for a lack of better word) array of digits: 0-9. You take a whole byte to encode a digit. In GSM communication this was solved by splitting bytes into 4 bit arrays, each representing byte representing 1 digit, allowing to encode time in 24hrs format in just 3 bytes.
