👉 A #Java library recommendation for tracking file system changes: directory-watcher by @gmethvin. On macOS, it's much faster than the NIO WatchService, as it's based on native FS events instead of polling.

Congrats to the @playframework contributors on the 2.8.0 release!

[Play Framework ⇌ @playframework]

Play 2.8.0 Released!

It is not a milestone, nor a release candidate. This is a GA version, folks. Therefore, it deserves a blog post:

[Jorge Vicente Cantero @jvican]

It's mind-blowing that we've been complaining about how slow it is to publish to Maven Central for YEARS and we've just realized that there was an API to do bundle uploads that does significantly faster releases (1000s modules in 1min). I still cannot believe it.

Check out this excellent blog post from my colleague @jieren24 about how we use ElasticSearch to power content personalization at @Iterable: https://t.co/J1mHbNhCDX

[sksamuel @_sksamuel]

Pleased to have released pulsar4s 2.4.0 for the latest release of Apache Pulsar @apache_pulsar Thanks to @gmethvin for doing the hard work in prepping the release.https://t.co/j5Ej3NnYxy

[Play Framework ⇌ @playframework]

First release candidate for Play 2.7 is here: https://t.co/t9WW17OcFz

We expect it to be more stable than the milestone releases, not only in terms of functionality but also moving closer to the point of freezing the APIs.

Try it and let us know if you find any issues. :-)

I'm giving a talk this Friday with my colleague Jie about how we used Akka Streams and Alpakka Kafka to build our data ingestion pipeline at Iterable. If you're there come check it out! https://t.co/ReJOg99vkx @scalebythebay @scala_lang @akkateam #scalesf

Apparently, Slack doesn't have any plans to implement code highlighting for back ticks. Please retweet if you want code highlighting with ```js or ```php or ```py or anything else that GitHub supports. Let's show Slack how badly we need this.

This is my favourite festive GDPR gag of Christmas 2018 so far.
