I know I'm finally over the flu because I'm awake at 7am craving waffles.

I'm pretty sure @duolingoverde.bsky.social fails to account for people with ODD. You're not the boss of me Eule.

I present what I like to call the "paparazzi" hood. This is perhaps the finest travel coat ever created. -This message sent from my coat clubhouse-
Ridiculously enormous hood that covers my entire face but still allows me to read a book

Does anyone in #BillsMafia know of a group or backers bar in Athens Greece? Looking for a place to watch the KC game overseas.

I'm currently sitting in front of our oven watching the oven thermometer because I'll have my damn cookies even if the oven declines to maintain a consistent temperature.

In the spirit of never giving up, I am once again trying to show up to a foreign country with a correct power adapter. I'm aware I can search for this, my incompetence is undeterred by readily available information. So I ask you, what plug would one use in Greece?

Is it end of the road for RocksDB in stream processing? Disaggregated state is the clearly superior architecture, with @responsive.dev investing heavily in SlateDB.io while Flink 2.0 has forked RocksDB. Here's why we've bet on SlateDB for Kafka Streams: www.responsive.dev/blog/why-sla...

If not RocksDB, then what? Why SlateDB is the right choice for Stream Processing.
Why we think SlateDB is the right foundation for a state storage service for Kafka Streams.

I feel both my wig and @mjsax.bsky.social and my puns should be shared on all socials. We released the first episode of our new show about eventing! youtu.be/aSeTAkYjeRM?...

Q&A: Events, Eventing, and Event-Driven Architectures | The Duchess & The Doctor Show
For their inaugural episode, Anna McDonald (the Duchess), Matthias J. Sax (the Doctor), and their extinct friend, Phil, wax rhapsodic about all things eventing: you’ll learn why events are a mindset, why the Duchess thinks you’ll find event immutability relaxing, and why your event streams might need some windows.

I was chatting with @mjsax.bsky.social tonight and we both love Q&A's . I'm thinking about a podcast where we answer questions about eventing and streaming submitted by everyday humans. Working title "The Dr. and the Duchess." Does this warrant an addition to the podcast rotation?
