If you're near the Google campus this Wednesday, Oct 21, please stop in for the Ajax Push Panel:The Chronicles of Web Standard Prince Comet: Next Wave of Comet. I'll be there along with Alex Russell, Michael Carter, Greg Wilkins, and Dylan Schiemann. It should be a good opportunity to discuss the impact of Google Wave and Cloud Computing on push technologies. Should Google support Servlet 3.0 in the Google App Engine, or should they force people to use proprietary technologies? Should ICEfaces Ajax Push be split out into a separate push server, available with no dependency on JSF?
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

DuckDB Labs recently released DuckLake 1.0, a data lake format that stores table metadata in a SQL database rather than across many files in object storage. The first implementation is available as a DuckDB extension and includes catalog-stored small updates, improved sorting and partitioning options, and compatibility with Iceberg-style data features.

JobRunr has introduced ClawRunr, an open-source Java AI agent for scheduled, recurring, and one-off background tasks. Formerly JavaClaw, it runs on users' hardware and combines conversational interaction with persistent task execution, MCP tools, browser automation, and web, Telegram, and Discord channels, while using JobRunr for scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Confluent introduces a new approach in Apache Kafka that moves schema IDs from message payloads to record headers, aiming to simplify schema governance and evolution. The update integrates with Schema Registry, improves compatibility across serialization formats, and reduces coupling between data and metadata in event-driven architectures.

Hilary Mason shares her journey from academia to building AI products at scale. She discusses the shift from discrete engineering to probabilistic mindsets, explaining why managing "human considerations" is the hardest part of the stack. She explains the "existential crisis" for engineers, arguing that great architecture today is about context management, systems thinking, and good taste.
