My talk is on writes in Kafka, Iceberg and Postgres – and how the systems differ (but also show a progression of *how* we think about managing data as the paradigms shift) – so it's also unromantic, except for the fact that I write to learn and apparently this is odd www.meetup.com/london-real-...

Just consider the facts.
A survey of a minority reports that one in four has been assaulted.
Two-thirds report public abuse and threats.
That alone is a huge story.
There should be questions in Parliament and ministers rushing to act.

Chemotherapy is starting on Monday.
We're not sure there's anything else we can say at this point - we're waiting to find out if chemo makes a difference before we know how long we're looking at.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep.
1. Text markup languages
2. Data transfer, from magnetic tapes through file formats through Apache Kafka...
3. Programming languages, 1960s through 1990s
(I have to stop at three? so cruel!)
