We all know that the Big Apple is New York, but I have no idea where the Minneapolis.

This is my book about Quantum Computing for developers: manning.com/books/quantum-comp
The samples, and the QC simulator are written in Java, and hopefully readable to all programmers.

The #1 question I get is: "Why did you do this in Java?" With Java being very mature, secure, reliabled, with 12 million Java devs around, and a huge active ecosystem, I'd rather ask: "Why not?"
Java is really great for scientific work.

"It's a feature, not a bug" is so last century. Now we call them "hallucinations."

When you hire #Java devs, how do you know if their skills are up to the task? Maybe we need a community-validated mechanism, based on testing actual coding skills (rather than multiple choice tests). @roywass #OpenValue has answers and you can join in on Foojay :foojay: Today!

#foojaytip #certification

We're working with on a better way to measure software dev skills. If you want to join or learn more, let me know! More here foojay.io/today/foojay-develop

@raiderrobert Hard to pick one.. Feel like The Doors at the moment.

@raiderrobert yes, especially if you write nice modular code. Prevent the network overhead complications if you can.

It took the #openjdk team more than one year, but finally they agreed to merge my latest NIO performance optimization: Data transfers FROM files to non-files (like Sockets) (aka File Servers, classic Web Servers) are now several times faster and more efficient wrt power consumption and CO2 exhaust. ♻️☕ (I already optimized transfers TO files, i. e. file-TO-file and socket-TO-file already years ago). Yes, it will be part of JDK21! 🤩 And yes: Video is under construction! 📹 github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/67
