• Friday

    • Private work.
    • Kafka.
      • Python kafka lib: https://kafka-python.readthedocs.io/en/master/index.html (producers, clients, all)
      • Fully managed kafka on aws (MSK = managed streaming kafka): https://aws.amazon.com/msk/
      • You can expire/delete records in 2 ways: time-based and event-based. The former is a configuration setting, just like a TTL. The latter is via delete-records.
      • But remember – surgically/conditionally searching for specific records (and deleting them, or not) is not really the purpose of kafka. Event streams might not be as ideal as database/services in this case.
    • NYT added connections to the games app.
    • Typing.
    • Mealprep. Powders, smoothies, liver, pecan butter, oat milk, chicken.
    • Trading Places.
    • DS&A.
    • Python in excel (lol): https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/22/23841167/microsoft-excel-python-integration-support
    • Code Llama, genAI for code writing: https://ai.meta.com/blog/code-llama-large-language-model-coding/. Based on the same model (2), but with additional language-specific training. There will probably be a vscode ext soon.
