Listing the Content of a Directory - Dev.java How to efficiently list and filter the content of a directory on a file system.

TIL about Files.newDirectoryStream and DirectoryStream, and the overload that supports globbing. Yet it didn't work out, I resorted to Files.list and then filtering the list. dev.java/learn/java-i... #java

I noticed that it happens when the generated playlist ends and YTM needs to generate new entries… Then it duplicates the track that was last twice… or three times.

Why does Iterable<T> not provide stream() and parallelStream() methods? I am wondering why the Iterable interface does not provide the stream() and parallelStream() methods. Consider the following class: public class Hand implements Iterable&lt;Card&gt; { private ...

The next answer by @BrianGoetz explains why there's no stream() method in Iterable.

Convert Iterable to Stream using Java 8 JDK I have an interface which returns java.lang.Iterable&lt;T&gt;. I would like to manipulate that result using the Java 8 Stream API. However Iterable can't "stream". Any idea how to use the Iterab...

I haven't even looked at #AdventOfCode this year.

I post rarely here…

I don't see anything to dislike here. What the Bluesky team describes looks reasonable to me.

Had this problem yesterday… then a video suddenly started playing after a few minutes when I was in another tab.

Why does Windows 10 and rarer 11 add languages to keyboard layout switcher? It often adds English US and English UK, so that I have three English in the list. These phantom languages aren't in the Settings app. To remove them from the list, I have to add them first.

Ah, you don't say!

On the other hand, as soon as the script grows more than a few tens of lines, a C program would likely be more robust solution.

Often, it's quicker to write a shell script than a similar C program, which is a bonus, especially if you need to solve this problem once.

I'm afraid I'm not the person you're looking for.

Water is boiling now.

Awesome! 👍 I haven't used it myself yet.
Your description matched the problem: avoid writing JNI code to access native libraries, so I suggested using it. I understand it may not fit well into your specific case, though.

Has the time come to try Java FFM (Foreign Function and Memory) API? docs.oracle.com/en/java/java...

What an interesting case… ImageIcon.getNextID will overflow mediaTrackerID. bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8... Yet, apparently, it causes no issues whatsoever. github.com/openjdk/jdk/... #openjdk #java

That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear this…
It looks more and more people abandon social media platforms.

It's always this long.

Still, it's cosier with curtains.
Yet… you'll have to get wider curtains.

All languages are confusing. Maybe, English is less confusing than others.

Thank you. This helps.
The descriptions of the methods used “forcibly”, but when I was writing another description I used “forcefully” for whatever reason. So, I looked up both words in dictionaries, and I concluded “forcibly” fits. Yet I still had doubts.

Me in an orange and black singlet with bib number 476 on my chest and in maroon shorts. I stand in front of Irish Runner Series panel, and I wave my right hand. Distance: 5 km; time: 22:15; pace: 4:25/km.

I set a new PB in Irish Runner 5K, it's now 22:12. I'm delighted. Hard training pays off.

I started to wonder which adverb suits better: ‘forcibly pass/fail a test’ or ‘forcefully…’ Does any native English speaker have an opinion?
