Advent of Code 2024 – Day 5 – Print Queue

We go through the latest features of Java and what to expect in marsh.

We look into different looping concepts, what they are and when to use them.

We talk about how I write my Java code and why I have chosen to write my code in a specific way. This is my opinion. I’m interested in yours if you have differing opinions.

We look into logrotate on Debian and figure out how timers actually work with a system with cron installed and configured. This was a bit of a gotcha for me, so hopefully, this will help you when you configure logrotate and want to use the timers in Debian to set a correct time.

I’m trying to solve all the Advent of Code puzzles in this video series.

The next release of OpenJDK is number 15. I will title this release unsafe garbage as it focuses on garbage collection and removing usages of unsafe methods. We also look at string blocks and records.
