Real-Time Exactly-Once Event Processing at Uber With Apache Flink, Kafka, and Pinot
Uber faced some challenges after introducing ads on UberEats. The events they generated had to be processed quickly, reliably and accurately. These requirements were fulfilled by a system based on Apache Flink, Kafka, and Pinot that can process streams of ad events in real-time with exactly-once semantics. An article describing its architecture was published recently in the Uber Engineering blog. By Vasco Veloso Uber faced some challenges after introducing ads on UberEats.

Article: Overriding Sealed Methods in C#
In this article, the author demonstrates how we can change the behavior of sealed methods in C#. This can be done by understanding Operating System mechanisms and how the .NET platform generates and compiles code. The author illustrates these techniques using real-world scenarios, including the modification of the WinPAI wrapper.
