Illustrates the absence of thread safety between various methods of SychronizedSet and its iteraror method.
Collection<Integer> ss = Collections.synchronizedSet(new HashSet<Integer>());
new Thread() {
public void run() {
for (int x = 0; x < 1000; x++) {
ss.addAll(IntStream.range(x*1000, (x + 1)*1000)
.boxed()
.collect(Collectors.toList()));
}
}
}.start()

A script to identify how many longs can we store at a time with given heap size on JVM
import scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer
import scala.util.Random
object M {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val t = new ArrayBuffer[Long]()
while (true) {
t += Random.nextLong
if (t.length % 10000 == 0) {

Last active February 21, 2019 05:02
Java parallel stream is significantly faster than the same stream converted into a Kotlin sequence
import kotlin.streams.asSequence
import kotlin.system.measureTimeMillis
val k = 500000000L
println(measureTimeMillis {
java.util.stream.LongStream.range(1, k)
.parallel()
.asSequence()
.map { it.toString().length.toLong() }
