GraalVM 25 has a lot of great new features for native compilation:

✅ Simplified migration 🚀
✅ Even faster and smaller executables with ML 🤖
✅ Enhanced security 🛡️
✅ New tooling 🛠️

Here are my favorite new @GraalVM features:

The optimal known packing of 17 equal squares into a larger square - i.e. the arrangement which minimises the size of the large square.

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Did you know? ⚓️ 🚢

🧵 1/7. The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result.

Twelve years ago, I found a coin that only ever flipped tails. 🧵

@JasonPunyon I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this...

[Patrick @_patrickziegler]

@solidangles I see your point. It does indeed seem easier to do in your head, even if it takes more steps than 'traditional' right-to-left subtraction.

[Patrick @_patrickziegler]

@solidangles Fair enough. But it seems the technique doesn't really work if the second number is smaller but each of its digits are larger. E.g.

11111
- 2345
------
10000
- 1234

And now you have to go from right to left

@b0rk Not quite 10+ years, but I permanently switched to linux in 2016 and almost immediately exclusively used the commandline.

@TVietor08 @danpfeiffer Good job!

🔥 Hot off the press! 🔥
We’ve touched the Sun! 👉☀️ Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. Flying so close is revealing new things about our star, like where features called switchbacks are born. Learn more: https://t.co/Eaq0CJXvu1

If everything you're taught about your country's history makes you feel proud, you're not learning history. You're absorbing propaganda.

@mariarasenberg @ThePracticalDev Is that a threat?
