Hey #Java #Emacs users, I am trying to smoothen my workflow. One thing that annoys me is to go to mvnrepository.com to look up a package. I am creating a little helper for it, anyone interested?

I gave my workshop at #jfall2025 #jfall today. It was a success, a packed room and people working through my AI challenges for 2 hours. If you attended you might like the slides, they are available on my talks page: arjenwiersma.nl/talks/

I so love my #emacs, was configuring some packages and wanted something easier, so I wrote a small function that will look up all the custom variables for a package and provide them as completion, allowing you to easily insert them. Trying to be more like @xenodium.bsky.social by sharing.

Had an amazing time presenting at #Devoxx! The room was packed, with some people sitting on the stairs, if the favorites are anything to go by there were over 300 people in the room. The talk was rated 4.7 out of 5, which for me is amazing, thank you all so much!

Day 15 of #adventofcode was quite a puzzler. Rewrote my solution several times. I take solace in the fact that the fastest solvers needed 15 minutes, which means the problem was hard. My notes on my #Java solution are here: arjenwiersma.nl/posts/aoc-20...

When I professionally started programming it was in #Perl and I worked on a log parsing system. It had the most convoluted regular expressions around.... and in Day 3 of the #adventofcode I had a use for that knowledge, once again! Using regexes made this problem easy.

In day 2 of #adventofcode you might want to splice an array and then combine it again, in #Java you can use an IntStream to seamlessly remove a single element from an array. #tipoftheday
A Java IntStream is used to remove an element from an array
