Production for my book, "A Functional Approach to #Java," is complete, and it's off to the printers, meaning it will be available in digital form soon 🎉
Paper books should follow in about 3-4 weeks.

ALT O'Reilly book cover meme: A dogmatic approach to nonexistent problems Explaining Monads to people who don't care "A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. What's the problem?" The cover animal is a monkey sitting on a bunny.
Is it just me or is SwiftUI a hot mess?
Finally found some time to play around with it, and everything feels a little off... why are previews so slow, and why can't they be stopped, even if the canvas is no longer visible in Xcode?

I'm planning to upgrade an app from iOS 12 to 15, and it looks like I will only use SwiftUI sparsely throughout.
I understand that it's a new approach and requires a new way of thinking.

This is what happens to aluminum when a 1/2 inch piece of plastic makes contact at 15,000 mph in space.
That's some serious impact! Just imagine what a heavier object could do traveling at the same speed.

Now that #JDKMonitor has a #JEP selector, I thought it might also be nice to add a #JSR selector…1.23 is already in review in the #Apple App Store 😁 #java #openjdk
Avoiding Amazon can be a real PITA... I ordered from the German @Ankerofficial a week ago, and it still hasn't been shipped yet.
Support sends AI-generated response, human response is still MIA, and the escalation form isn't working.

Finally finished my #Java 21 article about "Structured Concurrency" to be published next week.
After that, it's either about "CRaC" or the current state of the available JDK ecosystem, revisiting an article topic from 2020.
