@TheRealBnut Its more the expense. $200 every six weeks when dudes my age wear their grey with pride. This is the year I say screw it. 😉
Let me tell you about the customer at the knitting shop who called me “Krissy.” NOBODY CALLS ME KRISSY. 🤬 https://t.co/7unL4MQEhe
@rosepowell Yeah! I’ve put my membership on hold right edit to upcoming travel. But it’s very good for the price
RT @yow_conf: Last year, we offered #DiversityScholarships to #yow17 for the first time.
Now we are expanding them to #YOWData and #YLJ18.…
RT @alexbertanades: Last week one of my art teachers suggested I ‘dial down the feminism.’ Today I showed him my newest piece: https://t.co…
@JennaGuillaume Were you carrying a jug of Lonely Girl Margarita Mix for One?
RT @anne_theriault: Take the lady doritos. Take all the doritos and make them feminine-coded. Take them like we took the names Ashley and S…
@misswired I think it’s because they have trouble coming up with names. @the_snook has used streets of Chippendale a few times in his brew titles. 🙂
Big crowd as the inaugural Sydney Big Data: Engineers and Scientists meet up kicks off! @preactaau @preactaau @CampaignMonitor https://t.co/Aj3BDsicIB
First talk is @SimonAubury talking about how @IAGAust builds data pipelines with Kafka Streaming. (HONK IF YOU ❤️ DATA PIPELINES!) 😂 @preactaau https://t.co/rrDwfHNEz6
Real world data pipeline example from @SimonAubury. Hey, I spy the KSQL rocket there! (I heard @matt_howlett talk about that last month. Very exciting new project from @confluentinc!) @preactaau @IAGAust https://t.co/L6lUJ2wQiI
For most companies, the data is less important than what it SIGNIFIES. That’s why KSQL is so cool – you can detect events in real time and do stuff with it! 🚀 @SimonAubury @IAGAust @preactaau https://t.co/wNNnt6n10T
Second speaker is Raúl Beristáin from @VocusComm offering a counterpoint to the last talk – SQL on Hadoop using Impala. @preactaau https://t.co/vzel93OD6M
“You may have heard the phrase ‘data lake.’ We were just talking about that. Everybody hates that.” 😂 @VocusComm @preactaau https://t.co/7vWyKFH94U
Different business needs result in different data solutions. Sometimes your data doesn’t need to change (event logs, etc) so you don’t need support for transactions. @VocusComm @preactaau https://t.co/17G8fdFyIQ
@duyenho Rooftop pool at the Old Clare? 👌
@cprieto You should submit it as a talk for @YOWLambdaJam and come visit us Down Under. 😉
RT @martinkrafft: Yeah, uh, we call that pollution, @elonmusk. You should be ashamed, not ventrilating. #FalconHeavy https://t.co/BVA2CAL1qk
Final talk is by noted Scala fanboy and @CampaignMonitor’s own Binzi Cao talking about building a rules engine with Spark SQL. @preactaau https://t.co/D0H4gU5PkS
@_SamCross My legs are still sore. 😐
Spark SQL makes normalising timestamps from disparate data sources very easy. Okay, that’s cool. @CampaignMonitor @preactaau https://t.co/mTRROlClMV
@rmoff @SimonAubury He’s sitting beside me. I’ll ask him in the next break. 🙂
@Asher_Wolf I just met a young woman at a meeting who did speaker training that my company @yow_conf organised last year. She had to give a big preso afterwards at work and NAILED IT. She got a promotion. Her name is Hanieh and I’m so proud we could help her. ❤️ https://t.co/GOBiSArrv5
@rmoff @SimonAubury Unfortunately no slides as they have to be vetted by corporate overlords. 😕
@MsGenGeorge @JessicaCGlenn @Telstra Well done!!
@aurynn @NatDudley Those are all good points I don’t disagree with. Just adding through that I regularly invite people to submit to our events, but that’s just because if I don’t, afterwards I hear “I didn’t know the CFP was open!”
@aurynn @NatDudley So I email loads of folks I think might be interested to let them know – not because of any token minority status or anything like that. I just don’t want anybody to miss out!
@aurynn @NatDudley I know a few different folks who are working on solutions for that. Hopefully one of them sticks.
@i386 Only topped in annoyance by the Kiwi who called me, I shit you not, “KRUSS.”
