Good news for #MongoDB / #ApacheKafka users who need to feed #Iceberg tables... 🧊 $iceberg now in private preview in #Atlas #StreamProcessing 👇 medium.com/towards-data...

Kind of the #final #boss for your favorite #LLMs... Try anything related to #Wingdings and just have fun in the conversation. 😂

At Netflix, @alex.bertails.org and his team have adopted #RDF to build a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) and a #domainModeling language, Upper, that let them quickly and efficiently share complex #data with their internal engineering customers. knowledgegraphinsights.com/alex-bertails/

This is why we can’t have nice things

If you were affected by recent changes to MinIO, check out the @chainguard.dev  MinIO image. We didn't want people to be stuck on an unmaintained image, so we've added the our version to the free tier.

I have created a monster. A monster that can create ugly charts in Excel. You're welcome. cellgeist.ai

I'm launching Data Streaming Academy! 🎉 streamacademy.io

People are opening up Meta AI Ray Ban glasses and modding out the LED recording light, then selling them on eBay. There is huge interest in disabling this functionality, which means basically you cannot trust anyone wearing these (i'm sure you already weren't) www.404media.co/how-to-disab...

Quarkus 3.28.5 - Maintenance release quarkus.io/blog/quarkus... via @quarkus.io

Day 2 of #FlinkForward Barcelona 🇪🇸 is underway... currently with an 💡 insightful #ApacheFlink #PMC panel discussion.

At #FlinkForward

#FlinkForward is THE place to be for all the things #realtime and #datastreaming this time right here in 🇪🇸 Barcelona. So much looking forward to diving deep into technology, use cases, customers, and of course #community.

Some people are so powerful they don't have to steal, because they can legally take whatever they want.

We are excited to announce the Apache Kafka 4.0.1 bug-fix release, containing over 40 fixes! Thanks to 53 contributors and your RM Christo Lolov. For more details, checkout the announcement: kafka.apache.org/blog#apache_...

🤦‍♂️So it seems even well-known news outlets / newspapers are headlining stuff like #chatgpt #adoption outpaces the #internet's first decade... 🍏 vs. 🍊 I don't even know where to start. Is this the another near perfect textbook example of what NOT to do?

#JUnit 6.0.0 is released! ✨ Java 17 and Kotlin 2.2 baseline 🌄 JSpecify nullability annotations 🛫 Integrated JFR support 🚟 Kotlin suspend function support 🛑 Support for cancelling test execution ⏭️ New `--fail-fast` mode for ConsoleLauncher 🧹 Removal of deprecated APIs docs.junit.org/6.0.0/releas...

Kids and adults alike... never forget what you really get, what it is you are dealing with when you're chatting with any of your favorite #LLMs

Now on stage here in Vienna at #RedHat #Openshift Anwendertreffen at #WienDigital the amazing @natalevinto.bsky.social talking about scaffolding for cloud-native app development in the #AI era and sharing great platform engineering insights based on Red Hat #DeveloperHub

💡 #AIera #thinking #waiting #tolerance If you get a bunch of complaints that your user facing app / service has "performance issues" just add something like this somewhere along the lines... Stakeholders and shareholders alike will be most likely fine. Thank me later 😜

Turns out I'll be in the beautiful City of 🎡 Vienna 🇦🇹 24th/25th Sept. If anybody wants to enjoy some ☕ together I should be able to carve out some time... DM me any time if interested!

🤯 wow. impressive and f... scary at the same time.

So how is OpenAI going to know that a user is under 18? "We’re building an age-prediction system to estimate age based on how people use ChatGPT." openai.com/index/teen-s...

From today's #ecommerce trenches: Say hello to the time-limited offer featuring a 30% discount that's NEVER redeemable... 👇

The next release of langchain4j is out! 1.5.0! 🎉 Highlights: - Initial MCP (Model Context Protocol) client implementation - Agentic: asynchronous agents + more tool support - Google AI Gemini now generates image outputs - Prompt caching for AWS Bedrock Full changelog: github.com/langchain4j/...

Next Tuesday (Sep 16th), #Java 25 will be released and we'll celebrate with a 4-hour live stream on the Java YouTube channel, starting at 15:00 UTC. There will be code, guests, jokes, gaffes, maybe even cake. 😀 (I hear there will be no cake. 😭) Come join us: www.youtube.com/live/duIceCX...

🤡 Looks like somebody set the #priorities for the update description totally right, what do you think? Can't wait to upgrade ... 🤦‍♂️ 👇 #Apple #macOS #Sequoia #Goodness 👇

We should also acknowledge that for most AI startups that have not yet found product-market fit: they are racing agains the clock. Most probably have ~6 months (or less) to gain serious traction: else they will prob have to fold / sell It's much higher pressure than in the past.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

#ApacheKafka 4.1.0 was released! 🎉 📢 announcement kafka.apache.org/blog#apache_... 📝 release notes downloads.apache.org/kafka/4.1.0/...

My recent perspective on search-assisted AI

I stopped counting how often I've seen substantially wrong #LLM responses when it comes down to basic calculations done in primary school... #Claude #Math

NEW: Anthropic will start training its AI models on user data, including new chat transcripts & coding sessions, unless users choose to opt out by 9/28 (it's a pop-up window that will give you the choice). It’s also extending its data retention to 5 years. www.theverge.com/anthropic/76...

This is the first workshop for which I use an agent to help me create a gazillion demos. It's AMAZING. It's basically the best case scenario for a coding agent: Throw away code where only the result counts and it only needs to survive demoing, not prod.

A short post about the recent Aiven announcement regarding adding Iceberg support for Kafka www.streamingdata.tech/p/no-more-ex...

The latest Jepsen talk, from Systems Distributed in June, goes live in 15 minutes. We'll be doing a live chat during the premier, if you want to chat about databases and testing. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpTxWePmW5Y

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

And then you try it by counting backwards and maybe add a third language...

If your most effective management skill is insisting people work 80 hours a week, you might want to consider learning some new management skills.

There's a big difference between launches and landings. A launch is when you merge all the code, close that final Jira ticket, and cut a new product release. A landing is when your customers pay for it.

#TIL ... 🧐 I wasn't aware about the following #academic #titles until today ... what could possibly go wrong? 🙃

Say goodbye to cloud-only code completion (and hello to so much more). We’ve just released Mellum-all — a general-purpose code completion model that supports every major programming language and runs entirely on your machine. Learn more: jb.gg/dmuavo

Ollama v0.10.0 is here! - New native app for macOS & Windows - 2-3x performance boost for Gemma3 - 10-30% faster multi-GPU - Fixed tool calling issues with #Granite3.3 & Mistral-Nemo - `ollama ps` now shows context length And more! buff.ly/gvDiSAc #Ollama #AI #LocalLLM #OpenSource

There is still hope... #ClaudeCode > Ha! Well, that's quite the plot twist! 😄 So I've been analyzing your project and giving you an assessment of... yourself. Must have been amusing to read my technical analysis and then my web search to figure out you're trustworthy enough for enterprise use!

📣 #Apache #Iceberg #Meetup: New Trends in #Streaming and #DataAnalytics 2025 with my fantastic @decodable.co colleague Sharon Xie and Xinyu Zhou from #AutoMQ There's still time to register 👇👇👇 lu.ma/akwa6uzh

🤩 Lots of great memories about @devoxx.uk which is a really fantastic #developer #conference. Also, I consider it a real privilege when getting the opportunity to talk about your own #opensource work which in this case is related to #securing #datastreaming workloads running on top of #ApacheKafka.

Debezium 3.2.0.Final Released debezium.io/blog/2025/07...

Over the past few months, I've been building a new Irontools extension called Iron Vector. It's a native, columnar, vectorized runtime for Apache Flink SQL and Table API. It's built on top of Rust, Arrow and DataFusion.

My colleagues Will Schultz and Siyuan Zhou wrote about a Raft enhancement they prototyped in TLA+, it's now how MongoDB actually adds and removes servers: www.mongodb.com/blog/post/te...
