can i panic about other things though ?

i ported our stream-processing from onyx to kafka-streams today and it was suspiciously easy

hundreds of lines of opaque onyx code and config were replaced with one simple fn: https://gist.github.com/37f8f89a5e414eb75dd8140759980dd0

color me impressed with kafka-streams' api design

but i'm slightly panicked about having moved production on to kafka-streams now

@mccraigmccraig Yes, I've been here before too.

Morning

morning folks

@jasonbell I booked my tickets... and started practising as well last night (just the drinking though at the moment...)

Ask @jr0cket about hosting a session on the Sunday @thomas "How to heckle properly when Jade is talking"

😂

I could be tempted to do that...

I saw an “immigration enforcement” van making rounds in my neighbourhood 😞

Looked up the census stats, apparently I live in the area with fifth lowest proportion of white British residents in England.

They really are a special brand of four letter words, aren’t they

😞 indeed

Canute got a bad rap, he was just trying to show humility

I wonder if it’s a show of force after weekend marches

“immigration enforcement” is a horrible euphemism.

this is what it says on it

that, and home office logo, and a CCTV sticker

I was surprised they didn’t go after me for taking a photo

so... if it has CCTV you can ask for the pictures they took I think... (there is a legal requirement for that if I am not mistaken)....

and if everyone does this the whole thing becomes unworkable/expensive they'll have to stop it?

just a thought...

huh

I don’t know about exact rules in UK, I know in some countries they can ask for a “reasonable” fee to offset the costs of information retrieval (which is how they block activist access to government information)

but if it was possible, it would be an excellent thing to do 😄

that might be possible... dunno

good night

…and good luck!
