Java Streams are a powerful abstraction introduced in Java 8 that allow for functional-style operations on collections. Here’s a quick overview of using Streams effectively in your projects:
- What are Streams? They are sequences of elements from a source that support various methods to perform computations upon those elements.
- Key Features: - Laziness: Streams allow processing of data only when needed, optimizing performance. - Parallelism: Easy to leverage multi-core architectures for faster processing by using parallelStream().
- Core Operations: - Intermediate Operations (e.g., filter(), map()) can be chained and return a new stream. - Terminal Operations (e.g., forEach(), collect()) produce a result or side-effect.

Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
How to Use Bitcoin?
n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
