A bit of a grab-bag of interesting links to stuff about data that I've come across in the past few weeks

Bengaluru, here I come. My talk "One Client to Rule them all" was accepted. Hope to see you there.

#KafkaSummit #Current2025

Initial clone implementation by hachikuji · Pull Request #430 · slatedb/slatedb Fixes #315. This patch contains the logic to create and initialize clones as outlined in RFC-0004.

SlateDB now has clones 🤯

Users can clone an existing DB's data to a new location. It's nearly instantaneous since it references the data from the old bucket rather than copying. Writes to the clone update the new location. Compaction lazily merges old data into the new directory./ht @responsive.dev

This is funny :))

The difference between Software Verification and Software Testing

Software Verification aims to proof that all traces are within the specification

Software Testing aims to find that some traces are outside the specification

It's this time of the year again: the CfP for #CurrentLondon '25 (TCFKA Kafka Summit) is open 🥳. I'm having the pleasure to be on the program committee once more and am looking forward very much to your proposals. Get them in by Feb 17!

HPC (High-Performance Computing) is making a comeback! 🚀 With AI-driven, compute-intensive workloads on the rise, there’s renewed focus on HPC infrastructure. During my undergrad, I built a supercomputing cluster across 3 campuses using tools like Fedora, PBS. Excited to see its evolution—thoughts?

I dig the notion that reboot & resume is an extension of the control flow graph consisting of reboot and resume nodes

Has anyone went through the experience of signing a JAMS or arbitration agreement as part of offer in general? This typically requires you to waive your employee rights, including the right to a jury trial or court proceedings in case of a dispute.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume?

Postgres engineer: seq scan

:)), try some breadcrumbs

This definition is as simple and precise as it gets—and it’s not just about technology. I’d even argue this can serve as a lifestyle model, shaping how we approach and manage things in life.

What is serverless? My preferred mental model

Serverless is an activation an deactivation pattern

System Model

We reason about a system in terms of executions and resources: Executions are performed on resources.

📺 I created this short demo showing how to benefit from
@decodable.co's 🔥 new #interactive #lineage #graph when working with #streaming #data #pipelines

🧭 efficiently navigate data flows
⏱️ directly see I/O metrics
⚠️ quickly spot warnings/errors
🧑‍🔧 fix problems where they occur

This is pretty cool.

Going to try #AdventOfCode in Rust this year adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

or like without kafka itself? Instead store agnostic SR?

What does “without a control plane” mean here, not backed by a topic?

Love the traction.
