That means that only one thread on the server is allowed to run a QofQ at a time when it falls back to HSQLDB…2 - The Lucee devs have long-warned people against using QofQ for performance reasons, but this design is just unacceptable.  It's no wonder it performs poorly under load when it's in a (Java) synchronized block. #CFML3 - Lucee attempts QofQ using a pure Java mechanism, but if that fails for any reason, the error is simply ignored a instead your data is loaded into an in-memory HSQLDB via JDBC a run there. it's a clever idea, but seems to have lots of overhead not to mention the single thread-ness4 - And to expand on that a bit-- after compiling a custom build of Lucee that logs some debugging when the pure java implementation of QofQ fails, I can see that Lucee doesn't inherently support aggregates like sum() or "group by" clauses.  Those all "fall back" to HSQLDB.https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1297961788286394369https://twitter.com/bdw429sBlog - Ben Nadel - Using Constants To Help Clarify Boolean Arguments And Return Values In ColdFusion And JavaScriptA few weeks ago, I talked about how I often see some very questionable Boolean arguments in old, legacy code. This has kept Boolean arguments top-of-mind for me; and one thing that I've started to experiment with recently is the use of "Constants" - named, static values - to bring additional clarity to function invocation expressions that require a Boolean flag. This can be done in both ColdFusion / Lucee CFML as well as JavaScript - my two main languages. And, I wanted to share a quick demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3879-using-constants-to-help-clarify-boolean-arguments-and-return-values-in-coldfusion-and-javascript.htmBlog - Pete Frietag - Cleaning up Development Disk Space CommandBoxI've been using CommandBox to startup CF servers on my dev laptop and desktop for several years, maybe even since the first version was released! CommandBox does a great job of hiding its internal magic, and thus the amount of disk space it consumes can creep up on you. To make matters worse it stores everything in a hidden folder under your home directory (usually in ~/.CommandBox), so it is easy to miss.https://www.petefreitag.com/item/906.cfmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 14 ColdFusion positions from 11 companies across 8 locations in 5 Countries since July 1st3 new jobs this week.Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer - NIEHS Grants Application Development - United States Posted: Aug 22https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDev-at-Morrisville-NC/11106Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United States Posted: Aug 19https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFMLDev-Remote/11105Full-Time - Software Developer - ColdFusion - 01346 at Lexington Park, MD,  United States Posted: Aug 18https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-Developer-ColdFusion-01346-at-Lexington-Park-MD/11104ForgeBox Module of the WeekAdobe ColdFusion EngineYou can use one of 62 versions of Adobe ColdFusion from CommandBox - with the server start command.
