Really proud of this (really long) Kafka tutorial. I hope other people find it helpful. Thanks for the opportunity to publish it. #Kafka #DataEngineering

Apache Kafka is an open source event streaming tool that transports tons of data w/ low latency. And @Gerard_K_Hynes wrote a handbook to show you how it works. He covers its core concepts, how to use its CLI, & how to install + build a project with it. freecodecamp.org/news/apache-ka
This is really awesome. Thank you everyone for your support. This is the community that fights evil monsters every week, it’s great how we all came together. Hopeful for the future.

I want everybody to remember this whenever anybody claims that taking a stand as a community doesn't accomplish anything. WE did this. 👇 This is fucking incredible.

This is what decades of failure to provide safe cycling and walking infrastructure looks like.

30 minute reminder! Clare joins Knocknacarra cycle bus on their daily commute- Great initiative which exists in response to the lack of safe, segregated cycle routes to schools. Now there are 6 in Galway city & many more being set up across the country (RTE1) @@cycle_bus

The apology from is more than just PR spin it's based on a lie that I didn't want to expose yet I had to move things forward to get the truth out there Full story in the video, tweets w/insider sources and proof incoming. #DnDBegone

Really great breakdown of the spin and genuine lies in 's official statement on the OGL. They've blinked but the fight's not over by a long shot. #OpenDnD #DnD

My full response to @Wizards official statement today. A thorough breakdown of the lies, dubious claims, and manipulation, with guidance from lawyer @MyLawyerFriend Our fight is with WotC, not WotC employees Be kind, let your voice be heard #OpenDnD youtu.be/MeWaq6pQQW4
"They won...and so did we." Absolutely pants on head statement throughout this thing. I feel for whomever had to write it, presumably toning down whatever truly absurd statements corporate wanted in there.

Let me be clear on one thing; Until we see the actual legal document of the revised OGL, this is just PR. "We would never" means nothing if the contract says "We can". I got a lot more to say about the supposed changes, but Twitter isn't the right place for it.
