*Efficient Reconciliation and Flow Control for Anti-Entropy Protocols* [https://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/rvr/papers/flowgossip.pdf](https://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/rvr/papers/flowgossip.pdf)
The ideas in this paper influenced [systems at Amazon](https://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/ladis2008/materials/rvr.pdf?), and beyond, e.g. Cassandra, Ringpop from Uber (used in Temporal).
**Abstract**
The paper shows that anti-entropy protocols can process
only a limited rate of updates, and proposes and evaluates a
new state reconciliation mechanism as well as a flow control
scheme for anti-entropy protocols.

Workers' Bike Time [Cancelled?]
I strongly suspect this recurring event no longer takes place, but I have never received any information about it since I first heard years ago and have never had any enquiry.
=======
Blow the cobwebs away and get active at lunch time with a bike ride around Central Park to perk you up for your afternoon's work.
Aimed at workers in the area, but all welcome. It may be possible to borrow a bike, by prior arrangement.

AnimanJapan Anime & Manga Club!
If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga!
We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor.
In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people!

Data Engineers London: Real Time Data - January 2026
Join us at our first event of the year at [The Information Lab](https://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/) on the historic Watling Street in the City of London 🙌
We will be kicking off 2026 by delving into the topic of real-time data with our speakers - Sam, Nicoleta & Anton. We are running this event in collaboration with **[Confluent](https://www.confluent.io/)**.
**6pm:** Doors Open
**6:30pm:** Talks Start
🗣️The Speakers🗣️
***Load-In to Lights-Out: Data Engineering the World's Biggest Tours and Live Events***
***Sam Malcolm,*** ***Head of Architecture & Engineering at Centrus ([Sam's Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-m-00b19a110/))***
**Sam’s** session dives into lessons from large-scale live event data systems—handling over **10 billion data points per second** for global tours like Beyoncé, Coldplay, and Glastonbury. He connects the extreme demands of real-time analytics and high-performance networking to modern cloud data practices, showing how the same principles of **speed, resilience, and precision** apply when designing reliable, scalable data platforms today.
***Should I Stream or Should I Join: From Regular to Delta Joins in Apache Flink***
***Anton Borisov, Principal Engineer at Fresha & Nicoleta Lazar, Senior Data Engineer at Fresha ([Anton's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anton-s-borisov/) , [Niloceta's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleta-lazar-921a6864/))***
Joins in the streaming world are where the fun stops and the tradeoffs start. State that grows forever, latency that spikes unpredictably, watermarks that never quite behave, every Flink developer has war stories about this.
In this session, Anton Borisov and Nicoleta Lazar break down the join landscape in Apache Flink:
→ Regular joins and the state explosion problem
→ Interval joins: when they work, when they don't
→ Temporal joins and the versioned table dance
→ Lookup joins: the escape hatch and its hidden costs
→ Delta joins: the new kid and how Fluss enables them, and why it matters
Talks finish by **8pm** and there will be a break between the talks. Afterwards, we may head to a pub to continue chatting.
You can sign up by subscribing to this event
🚨**IMPORTANT**: Please bring a ***valid form of ID***.
See you all on the 22nd January 🤩

APIs Made Useful: Transforming Your API Data into Impactful Grafana Dashboards
**Never tried Grafana before? This workshop is for you!**
APIs are the backbone of modern software development. They power everything from mobile apps to internal tools, but let’s be honest, reading through raw JSON or API responses isn’t the most exciting way to work with data.
What if you could turn that data into clean, interactive graphs without writing a ton of custom code or spinning up a backend server? That’s where Grafana comes in!
**Grafana** is an open-source data visualisation and observability platform that lets you create interactive, real-time dashboards from various data sources. It’s best known for visualising metrics from systems like Prometheus or InfluxDB, but thanks to its plugin ecosystem, it can do much more.
**In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll:**
* Explore what Grafana is all about
* Connect to an API using the Grafana Infinity plugin
* Configure a simple query and pull the data into Grafana
* Turn that data into a beautiful dashboard with different panel types
**No prior knowledge of Grafana** is required as this session is beginner-friendly, but bring your **(well charged) laptops** as this will be a hands-on session!

The Blueprint to Land a Data Job in the UK
**Applied to 1,000+ jobs but still waiting for an interview call?**
It’s exhausting to see "Application Viewed" but never hear back. Every influencer on social media is shouting a different strategy: one says "just network," another says "build more projects," and another says "it’s all about referrals." The noise makes it impossible to know what actually works.
We aren't influencers; we are **Data Specialists** working in the heart of London. We know exactly why the system is rejecting you and, more importantly, how to fix it. This is your no-nonsense blueprint for landing **Data Analyst, Product Analyst, Insights, or BI Consultant** roles in the UK.
### **What We Are Covering**
* **The CV Blueprint:** Stop making the top 5 mistakes that lead to automatic rejection. We’ll show you how to transform your experience into the quantifiable achievements that UK hiring managers actually want to see.
* **AI Job Agent (Live Demo):** Stop wasting hours customizing every cover letter. We will show you how to build your own free AI-powered agent that analyzes job descriptions and customizes your applications in seconds.
* **Interview Mastery:** Learn the technical and behavioral frameworks (STAR method) we used to crack interviews at top-tier firms.
* **The Job-Search Accelerator:** At the end, we’ll share a custom-built extension to automate the tedious parts of your search so you can apply faster and smarter.
### **The Evening Plan**
* **6:00 PM – 7:00 PM:** Arrival & Networking
* **7:00 PM:** **CV Strategy & Breaking the Rejection Cycle** \| *Abhishek Gadve*
