Also check for memory leaks while you are at it.

I am asking for actual code that shows his statement is still true.

The statements I read as an answer to my question contain zero value and still lots of very unrelated words.

If you are sure there are vulns right now, please publish them. If not, shut up.

Nillywilly "computers might be insecure" is on a level I would not expect to read on a side like this one.

I just want to keep the quality level high for this news discussion site.

If that was my server I would of course put a joke in /etc/shadow - did you try to brute force the hashes? It would not be a great surprise to find some obvious funny content if you try?

Can anybody provide a good comparison e.g. with Meltano?

I am not affiliated with the Meltano people, but I like the idea of keeping the system modular, what seems to make it easier to replace components.

I have no doubt that we will see better replacements for every component of a data pipeline in the coming years. If there is only one thing to do right, then it´s to not bet on one tool but keep the whole stack flexible.

I am still missing well established standards for data formats, workflow definitions and project descriptions - hopefully open source ninjas will deliver on this front before proprietary pirats will destroy the field with progress-inhibiting closed things. It seems to be too late to create an "Autocad" or "Word" file format for datascience, but I see no clear winner atm, but hopefully my sight is bad - please enlighten me!

Can this handle websockets and streams?

Would you please like to add data and evidence to add some substance to your words? It is not enough to just "say something" on the internet - you need to provide evidence if you want to be taken seriously.

Can I add a little bit of randomness to this?

I am not a Twitter engineer, but I guess that this is nothing else but a great marketing campaign - suddenly many people remember all their accounts and login and that will help to produce very nice reports about the "active user base".

But why is this needed?

My guess: many people are sick of Twitter and since one president of one nation made it his personal propaganda vehicle it is becoming a mental wasteland - new ecosystems are growing and people inside these new communities are quite happy that all the zombies are contained in that trash dump, like facebook.

Actually we should all be happy that these first big "social" networks decontaminated the internet for us - these are now the Tschernobyls of social media where all the toxic waste is collected, hopefully for many years.

Interesting things now can happen somewhere else.
