Debug Like a Pro in 2025: 10 New Eclipse Java Debugger Features to Enhance Your Productivity (With Spring Boot Examples)

You’re debugging a bug related to inflated ratings in the /books/{id}/summary endpoint. You drop a breakpoint in BookService.getAverageRating(String), step through the code, and inspect the reviews list in the Variables view. Everything looks fine… until you spot a suspicious entry, a review for the same user added more than once. You pause and think: “Hmm… maybe these duplicate entries are causing the issue. Should I...

Are self maintained language frameworks worth it?

I recently joined a company that uses Haskell for its backend. On top of that, they’ve built their own custom framework for it. Since I’m new to both Haskell and this in-house setup, I’ve been wondering: Was it really necessary to build a whole new framework? What kind of circumstances make maintaining your own framework worthwhile? Are the trade-offs—like developer ramp-up time and maintainability—justified in the...

How I Doubled My Lookup Performance with a Bitwise Trick

Hey folks, While working on a Cuckoo Filter implementation, I originally used a simple byte array to store 4-slot buckets, each holding 1-byte fingerprints. Then it hit me—those 4 bytes fit perfectly into a 32-bit integer. So why not treat the whole bucket as a single uint? That small insight led to a few evenings of playing with bitwise operations. Eventually, I replaced loops and branching with a compact SWAR. Here's...

Securing Software Delivery: Zero Trust CI/CD Patterns for Modern Pipelines

Modern CI/CD pipelines are essential for rapid and reliable software delivery. But as pipelines automate more stages of the development lifecycle—from code validation to production deployment—they have also become a major target for exploitation. Traditional pipelines often operate on broad trust: long-lived credentials, shared secrets, unverified execution environments, and permissive access controls. These...

Dashboards Are Dead Weight Without Context: Why BI Needs More Than Visuals

Every BI engineer has been there. You spend weeks crafting the perfect dashboard, KPIs are front and center, filters are flexible, and visuals are clean enough to present to the board. But months later, you discover that no one is actually using it. Not because it’s broken, but because it doesn’t drive action. This isn’t an isolated issue, it’s a systemic one. Somewhere between clean datasets and elegant dashboards,...

Par Lang: Primitives, I/O, All New Documentation (Book) + upcoming demo

What is Par? Par is a new programming language based on classical linear logic (via Curry-Howard isomorphism, don't let it scare you!). Jean-Yves Girard — the author of linear logic wrote: The new connectives of linear logic have obvious meanings in terms of parallel computation, especially the multiplicatives. So, we're putting that to practice! As we've been using Par, it's become more and more clear that multiple...

The Architecture That Keeps Netflix and Slack Always Online

Takeaways Cell-based architecture provides fault tolerance by breaking down the system into distinct, self-contained, independent cells that scale, perform function, and fail independently. These independent units minimize blast radius and allow for fast recovery, making them a best fit for high-availability setups where uptime is critical. Containers, and Docker specifically, facilitate standardized deployment and...

I'm building a metaprogramming systems language from scratch

Hello, I'm currently working on a programming language which is targeted at systems programming. It is stack based and similar to a combination of Joy, and Lisp, and pushes the notion of static types being a compile-time construct to its absolute limit. I figured that delegating homoiconicity and metaprogramming to the programmer at compile-time would be an excellent way to create a very powerful and extensible type...
