Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 03/06/2025@bengamble7.bsky.social - Watching @intellijidea.com's "Valhalla Nullness Emotion" and the talk about Collections of value classes (needing workaround to runtime erasure). Gets me to our conversations - what would it be like if Java 5 (1.5) accepted a VM change and didn't do generic erasures? 020
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Enjoying @intellijidea.com's Conference 2025 (not able to watch most of it live, but catching a session right now). Super excited that Wrapper Classes will be Value Classes. Every time I see/hear about this. I've never liked auto-boxing; this is a major improvement. Thanks, Rémi Forax. 020

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I think meeup.com is a great service & I have always felt their pricing model being based on organizations vs those attending made sense. If they now want to limit attendance viewership to an attendee paid tier model; I'm ok with that too. But the constant nagware/pop-up? annoying and off-putting. 000
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 21/03/2025The Apache Kafka Community here in the Twin Cities is very active; attendance is tracking high during the first week of announcing this event.

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 09/03/2025I’ve already listened to Lady Gaga’s new album on Spotify (yesterday) in full. Today I get an email telling me about the new album. I would be more impressed with real-time services if they could use real-time data to NOT send me something I already obviously am aware of. 010
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 05/03/2025@intellijidea.com's IDE has a great Apache Kafka plugin. This is a @kafkastreams.bsky.social's session window changelog topic -- maybe I can figure out how to get support natively for Kafka Stream windowing keys. 183

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I recently discovered chrome-cli (github.com/prasmussen/c...). By also leveraging `fzf` I can now quickly close tabs by name/url. chrome-cli list tablinks | sort | fzf -m | awk -F '[][]' '{print $2}' | cut -d ':' -f 2 | xargs -I {} chrome-cli close -t {} revolutionary! 000
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 26/11/2024On the day I migrated a Kafka cluster to KRaft, my inbox on my work email is... 500 -- is that a sign 🤣. A sign I need to deal with junk email vs. leaving it in my inbox. 020
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Football offsides should be if any part of you is behind the defender you are not offsides. Remains objective and more true to the spirit of the rule.

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 14/11/2024I am a big fan of gradle and the gradle assembly plugin, but when running `gradle run` Control-C is not propagated to the application. When it comes to kafka-streams, this leads to an unclean shutdown. I have my own `run.sh` and have a custom task that generates a `.classpath.sh` on assembly.run.shintrovert.com 200
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 13/11/2024when using kafka-console-consumer for analyzing messages on a topic use --key-deserializer=org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.BytesDeserializer --property print.key=true You will easily see if you put SR content into your key (unexpectantly). #ApacheKafka 010

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 11/11/2024If you upgrade Docker Home (at least on your Mac), kill all gradle daemon processes. I could run `docker` just fine from my shell, but I guess not from an already running gradle daemon. Caused by: IOException: Cannot run program "docker" (in directory "..."): error=2, No such file or directory. 000
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 10/11/2024With #ApacheKafka 4.0 coming in 2025, KIP-896 is still in the planned section of the release notes.

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 10/11/2024I am working on dashboards around KIP-714. Building dashboards around less-frequently polling of the metrics; I now appreciate the _rate metrics with the _total. In Grafana I would do rate(..._total{}[$__rate_interval], but if I want to poll less frequently, doesn't work out so well. #ApacheKafka 020
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 28/10/2024On the left consumer lag as reported from the scraping metrics about the client from the client. On the right is consumer lag leveraging KIP-714, scraping metrics about the client from an OTEL collector integrated with the broker. 120
Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 27/10/2024Working on my kafka-streams-dashboard project to showcase KIP-714 (consumer metrics) & improving sasl cluster, so I can showcase client metrics & their use of principal w/metrics.

Neil Buesing @nbuesing.bsky.social · 10/06/2023When you refactor a KafkaStreams topology and imagine it will provide a great performance improvement, only to realize it doesn’t. Theory != Actual 🤔😔 Still cleaner to read, but is that enough to suggest the refactor? 050
