🧊 Core C++ :: Winter Reflections 📍 Location: GM (General Motors) 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2026 👥 Format: In-person (F2F) meetup ⸻ 🕕 Schedule Time Session 18:00 Doors open, Networking & Mingling 18:30 Welcome Remarks 18:45 Playing with C++26 Reflection: Intro to static reflection in C++26 — from syntax to creative uses 🎤 Amir Kirsh 19:30 C++26 NB comments progress update - quick rundown of where we are, what’s in, and what’s next 🎤 Inbal Levi 19:40 Impossible Types, Supernatural Guarantees 🎤 Adi Shavit 20:40 Show & Tell 🎤 YOU! ⸻ 🔍 Session Highlight: Playing with C++26 Reflection Speaker: Amir Kirsh C++26 brings static reflection to the language — a long-awaited feature that opens the door to advanced metaprogramming and cleaner compile-time code. In this live session, Amir will introduce the new syntax, walk through practical examples, and spark a group exploration of what this feature enables in real-world use cases. Impossible Types, Supernatural Guarantees Speaker: Adi Shavit What if C++ could verify the impossible, at compile time? This talk explores how to supercharge the compiler’s reasoning with constraints that go beyond the type system, turning assumptions, guidelines, documentation and best practices into compile time guarantees. **Site Protocols & Guidelines:** **Weapons Policy:** No weapons are allowed on-site under any circumstances. There are no exceptions to this rule. Anyone arriving with a weapon will be directed to the nearest police station (located near the Herzliya train station) to deposit it before being allowed entry. **Age Restriction & Registration:** Entry is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. All guests must check in at the reception desk and present a valid ID. A visitor badge will be issued upon arrival and must be returned at the end of the day. **Escort & Meeting Point:** As visitors require an escort to enter and exit the site, we will set a meeting point to ensure everyone has enough time to complete the registration process. **Site Movement:** Please refrain from wandering the site independently. While guests are welcome to visit the barista and use the restrooms, staying within the designated areas is essential to avoid any security inconveniences. **Emergency Protocol (Siren):** In coordination with our Safety Manager, the protocol in the event of a siren is to evacuate to the safe room (Mamad) on the 1st floor (where the conference is held).

As data ecosystems evolve, the transition to a Lakehouse architecture has become the standard for organizations seeking flexibility and scalability. But how do you manage it correctly without being tethered to unpredictable cloud costs or getting lost in file management? In this meetup, we’ll explore the practical side of managing an Iceberg Lakehouse – from building a 100% open-source stack to achieving optimal compaction in Apache Spark. We’ll dive into how to maintain high performance, keep your data organized, and stay in full control of your metadata. 18:00–18:30 → 🍕 Welcome Drinks & Networking 18:30–19:15 → Escape the Clouds: Building a Pure Open Source Lakehouse// Yoav Nordmann, Backend Architect, Tech & Group Lead @ Tikal Are you tired of vendor lock-in and the unpredictable costs of proprietary data warehouses? Join us for a deep dive into building a 100% open-source data stack that doesn't compromise on performance. We will start by constructing a high-performance warehouse including compute, storage, and observability, then expand into a full-scale Lakehouse. Learn how to integrate Apache Iceberg and manage it with cutting-edge tools, ensuring you own your data, metadata, and compute-without the "cloud tax." 19:15–20:00 → Getting Compaction Right in Apache Spark // Ehud Eliaz, Chief Architect and Co-Founder @ DualBird Compaction is a fundamental operation in Spark-based data lakes, yet getting it right is far from trivial. This talk breaks down how compaction is actually performed in Apache Spark and how it is used with open table formats like Apache Iceberg. We’ll focus on the practical side of running compaction at scale: critical configuration choices, Spark's behavior during runtime, and where performance issues tend to appear. Walk away with a clear picture of what “good” compaction looks like in real-world systems. **Important Note:** To help us prepare for seating, please complete your registration on Luma.

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful. Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed. We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel. Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken?

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
