Wow, I've seen those little chat assistants that live in the corners of web pages before, but this is the first one that plays a continuously looping animation with flashing lights while I try to read an article. Sadly, the bot doesn't understand the command "go away"... it just asks for my email address so a real person can follow up later.<p>Anyways, the performance improvements for resuming after an ungraceful shutdown sound nice.
The flashing tab on this site is absolutely abysmal. Who thought this was a good idea.<p>> You have (1) new message!<p>What is this, a "local singles in my area" scam site or an interesting blog? And it's a message to ask if you need help no less!

Calcite allows you to write optimized SQL queries against a variety of data sources and is used by Apache Hive, Apache Drill, and others.<p><a href="https://calcite.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/calcite/adapter/kafka/package-summary.html" rel="nofollow">https://calcite.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/calcite/adapte...</a>
Confluent maven repo seems unusable for all people behind a Nexus proxying external repos, which is AFAIK a very common case.
So what is the problem in making the maven repo browsable?<p>This could be solved by making <a href="http://packages.confluent.io/maven" rel="nofollow">http://packages.confluent.io/maven</a> browsable. Is there a reason that this hasn't been done?<p>Why cant a company like confluent fix one of the most basic issues for such a long time ?<p><a href="https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/issues/759" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/issues/759</a>
