It's 2026 and Android Studio stills loads projects with the "Android" view that hides your actual project structure and doesn't display the location of the files you open. Still treating Android devs like babies who shouldn't see a file that the Android team didn't think was important

Is there something memetic leading to wanting to do fancy rice krispies? Yesterday I asked gemini for exactly that! It suggested rice krispies demi spheres with caramel hearts inside, covered with a chocolate glaze.

Yep! IIRC a jack has a power diff between mic & ground, enough to charge capacitors. The reader reads the magnetic stripe, encrypts it with a unique key, then sends that to phone as audio input as a target frequency.. slowing down as the capacitors lose charge

One interesting idea there as well is how this could be used for LLM based support to help you make changes in an app, without having to rebuild a whole first class dedicated MCP (plus maybe it's cool seeing the tool show you how it's doing things)

One obvious piece missing with the ring is closing the loop, i.e. an agent answering / asking a clarification. Playing audio on phone / headphones is an obvious one. But just for the fun of it I want to buy this and have the agent send text to it www.vestaboard.com/note

That release is amazing! First, the UI breaking down what happens on clicks is a lot clearer. + I love that webhook only => latency 📉 Getting good results with gemini-3.7-flash, especially with the past N turns as input to the voice transcription context.

Early still, but at the top here is the outcome written by an agent investigating a leak, following a method enforced via MCP. The same process holds the UI and the MCP, which means the agent can show its investigation in context and you can poke around.

Btw, on the "halts the jvm for a few seconds" note: one (hacky) Android trick to avoid that has been forking the process, and dumping from the forked process (which has a - mostly shared - copy of the memory). I don't know if that's feasible on a jvm though. Also assumes fork is faster than dump.

Digging some more on the hprof stripping, Claude found the main cause for small allocations (repeated unboxing of long object ids) and fixed it: github.com/square/leakc... On the same 1.4 GB dump, hprof-redact allocates 2,347 MB, Shark was doing 437 Mb and now.. only 5.8 Mb.

I had not! That's definitely cool & super interesting. I like the browser support via rust => web assembly! Did you document some of the architecture decisions to keep memory pressure low?

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

Thanks Ingo for suggesting "stuck", I really like how it conveys "we expected this to be GCed but it's stuck in the heap due to a faulty reference"

110

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

The next release of LeakCanary will update its vocabulary. Instead of "Leaking: Yes / No", object status will be reported with "Verdict: Stuck / Expected". This aims to help folks (& agents) grasp that a leak is a faulty reference, rather than any given object

180

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

Next step for me is work on the ability to define allow lists based on "owner patterns", e.g. "strings referenced by MyDao.queryTemplate should not be cleared" I think I can do that with minimal memory footprint (i.e. not having to build the heap graph) with 3 linear scans of the dump

100

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

I ran benchmarks comparing shark's stripping vs hprof-redact, in those benchmarks LeakCanary/Shark is 3x to 4x faster, with significantly less GC churn. That's assuming you trust Claude with running JVM benchmarks :)

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

- The transformer utility is nice, but same as above, "transformUtf8String()" is only for symbols. Use "transformByteArray()" for PII etc. - support for gzip in & gzip out, that's nice!

100

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 20/08/2026

Nice! I asked Claude to compare the impls & runtime behaviors, to see if there was anything I could copy. Feedback on hprof-redact (cc @mostlynerdless.de ) - "zero-strings" and "drop-strings" only clears up symbol strings, not any java.lang.String backing arrays (the "zero" option does that well)

"This additional privacy is most effective on sites hosted by big CDNs because the IP address doesn’t imply a particular website." Thanks for those details! I had read about ECH in passing and was wondering how much that helped given IP addresses are still visible. Big CDNs is a great answer

Also, while it should work on jvm heap dumps, and IIRC I tested a few examples, I never did run this on a real large jvm heap dump, only Android.

000

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 15/08/2026

It's a little too good at removing things, clearing byte arrays means no strings at all except symbols, so e.g. thread names or container names are gone. I've been wondering if I could find a middle ground and allow-list some strings, but it's tricky without a graph traversal

110

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 15/08/2026

This code is a little funky because it tries to do all this by streaming the file, without actually loading the heap dump contents, for speed & minimal memory usage, we use it in prod.

100

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 15/08/2026

It's part of the shark-hprof artifact, it's also an available function in shark-cli which is in homebrew. You could use that, but I assume you already have your own hprof parser, so you could just rip off the code (it's Apache 2): github.com/square/leakc...

Out of curiosity, how do you handle the fact that heap dumps can contain secrets and PII? A little while ago I built a hprof stripper that zeroes out all primitive arrays. Curious if there are other approaches.

I need to think of an opposite, objects that are correctly retained. In a path from gc roots to a stuck instance, the faulty reference marks the transition from a top subpath of "active" (?) objects to a bottom subpath of stuck objects

Yeah zombie came up and makes sense but it takes a few hops to understand the meaning. I love "stuck" though, thanks! Clear & simple.

None of the other Java heap tools have this concept. JProfiler (cc @ingokegel.bsky.social) apparently mentions "faulty references" in its dominator tree guidance (I like "faulty"!) I kinda like "Garbage" for this but might be confusing because Garbage normally gets collected. "Obsolete"?

"Leaking" canditades: Dead / Garbage / Expired / Defunct / Obsolete / Stale / Abandonned "Not leaking" candidates: Active / Live / Fresh / In use / Needed

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 12/08/2026

The "leak" is typically a single bad reference that should have been cleared, which leads to a whole group of objects being retained. I don't like "Leaking" as an object status, as it steers attention towards the leaking objects, whereas I'd rather have people look for the bad reference

100

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 12/08/2026

LeakCanary has framework specific knowledge and can report objects as "leaking" / "not leaking" / "unknown" based on state (e.g. an activity having a "destroyed" boolean field). "Leaking" means "should be been GCed but is retained". I'm looking into alternative words to carry this meaning #help

121

P-Y @p-y.wtf · 12/08/2026

I can buy that. And I can definitely apply taste and steer towards improvements, but ideally I'd come up with guidelines that yield better defaults. Have you found ways to steer towards better UX?

Who's been training the LLMs to use acronyms everywhere? It was hard enough when my peers did it, but now the agents just straight up invent their own and drop them everywhere without ever showing you the association
