Congrats to @divijvaidya for being out lastest committer! We are glad to have you!

@abdullin @dunithd @rystsov Hi @abdullin 👋 Would you be willing to elaborate (or point me to a reference) on the distinction between stream processing and event sourcing? The terms are so often conflated.

@dunithd There is a difference between stateful stream processing (at which RedPanda is quite good👍) and event sourcing. In event sourcing, we can enforce invariants on stream. E.g.: "balance will never go negative". I don't think RedPanda has OCC writes to support that. cc @rystsov

When building a new product, consider event sourcing. I don't care if you never replay events again. Just generate them in memory, apply to database and throw out. A convenient place for throwing out: s3://my-analytical-storage/2022-events.gz Business will thank you in 2023.

Graffiti in Palo Alto is so on brand

I am in ❤️ with @BeaccchHoussse 's Pink Funeral. I am loving the guitar solo outro and wish it was longer.

Setting up my new M1-based MBP and was disappointed that a build of software was taking longer than my three-year old Intel-based MBP. 2:25 (old) vs. 3:52 (new) 👎 Whoops! Was running the Intel-based JDK. With that corrected: 2:25 (old) vs. 1:01 (new) 👍

I’d happily pay a subscription for a browser extension that hides all comments complaining about using a subscription model.

I really wish there was a second edition to @BrianGoetz's Java Concurrency in Practice (jcip.net). Reading about references to EJBs makes me shudder a little 😀

Excited to announce our new Confluent Developer site is now live! With content for beginners and experts alike, it’s a one-stop-shop for all your @ApacheKafka learning. Learn more from our CEO and #ApacheKafka co-creator @Jaykreps: bit.ly/3xods4v

Got the new Rust in Action book by @timClicks in the mail today. Cracking it open now...

@jaykreps Huge congratulations to you and the team! Well deserved 😊

1. A quick reflection on Confluent's IPO today and the journey so far (a thread!).

Verifying myself: I am kirktrue on Keybase.io. Q3_KkRkcGZrYhWdiL0LNWTBbQuZv7Phg4c8A / keybase.io/kirktrue/sigs/…

@esammer I legit LOL’d at this. Thanks 💀💀💀

Just got my first shot. Bonus: 5G reception instantly better.

New post from me to you.

@yanpujante I’ve only ever used @WarbyParker. Got a pair of sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses. Happy with both. The latter’s lenses *seem* less scratch-resistant than what I’ve had in the past, but not conclusively.

@strlen No suggestions, unfortunately, but would very much look forward to reading it. But you gotta hurry because sadly little ones don't want to read with their parents past a certain age

A confession: I have been attempting to write science fiction short stories for several years now. Yet somehow I can never get beyond “world building”/massive “infodumps” with little headway in the way of character development or pacing / story lines. What are ways to improve?

@strlen Looks very nice. Very chic & modern. What is the material on the wall?

... but at least the bathrooms are coming along nicely. First not entirely frustrating experience with remodeling constructors, yay.

@comma_ai - I love your confidence my coding abilities to not kill myself 😱😱😱😱

@sherrod_im The food/treats/games are “free”

What’s the biggest lie in tech?

Today I finally looked up what NB is an abbreviation for: “Note well my use of unnecessary Latin phrases.”

Part of the trouble I run into finding and understanding information on distributed systems and databases is the overloading of terms. Consistency, partitioning, etc.
