Justin brought his two pet dogs, Rusty the beagle and Rooney the German shepherd, to a pet show. While the dogs are alike in that they are both short-haired working breeds from popular lineages, they differ in size, coat color, and temperament - Rusty is medium-sized with brown and white spots and prefers staying at home, while Rooney is larger with black and silver fur and enjoys wandering alone. The passage then compares the dogs' similarities and differences in more detail and provides examples of how to form comparative and superlative adjectives in English.

This document discusses the present perfect tense and how it is used to express recent events that still affect the present. It explains how the present perfect is formed using have/has + the past participle and provides examples of its use with time expressions like yet, already, just, and ever to indicate if an action is finished or unfinished. Common irregular past participles are also noted.
The document summarizes the past continuous and present continuous tenses in English. The past continuous describes an action that was ongoing and in progress at a specific time in the past. It is used to describe a longer action that was interrupted by a shorter action expressed in the past simple tense. The present continuous describes actions that are happening now or ongoing at the present time and is used with expressions like "at the moment" or "right now."
The present simple tense is used to describe routines and universal truths, and with adverbs of frequency. The present continuous tense describes actions happening now or plans for the immediate future. When forming sentences in the present simple, use the correct form of to be (am, is, are) plus the subject and verb. For the present continuous, use the subject plus am/is/are plus the verb plus -ing. Questions are formed with do/does plus the subject and verb for the present simple, and am/is/are plus the subject and verb plus -ing for the present continuous.

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
