Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

**Join us in Prague for a Snowflake User Group evening hosted by Everpure (formely Pure Storage).** This edition will bring together Snowflake product updates and practical lessons from teams using the platform in production. We’ll begin with a look at recent developments across the Snowflake ecosystem, including selected new features and broader trends shaping the data platform space. The evening will also include a customer session from Everpure's Metrics team, focused on large-scale data pipelines in Snowflake, including Snowpipe Streaming and experience from high-volume production environments. We’ll round things off with an informal fireside chat with a guest from Snowflake, followed by networking, community discussion, and the traditional Snowflake quiz. **EVENT DETAILS** * **What’s New in Snowflake** Kick off the evening with an overview of the latest developments in the Snowflake ecosystem. We’ll cover new features, emerging trends in the data platform space, and a few practical insights from real-world projects. * **Customer Story: Data Pipelines at Scale** Our host company Everpure's Metrics team will share how they use Snowflake in their data pipelines. The session will focus on large-scale ingestion using Snowpipe Streaming, handling around 10 TB of data per day, and lessons learned from operating high-volume pipelines in production. * **Fireside Chat with Snowflake** An informal conversation with a guest directly from Snowflake. We’ll discuss recent platform developments, what’s coming next, and interesting topics shaping the future of data platforms. The chat will be hosted and moderated live. * **The Snowflake Quiz** As always, we’ll close with the Snowflake quiz, a few goodies up for grabs, and time to connect with fellow data professionals over drinks. **RSVP** here [See Snowflake in Action: Prague User Group](https://usergroups.snowflake.com/events/details/snowflake-prague-presents-snowflake-in-action-prague-user-group-hosted-by-pure-storage-1/).

**Hosted by Sky Czech Republic.** Doors are open from 5:30 pm, talks will start at 6:00 pm. **1\. Marek Svitok \(Sky\) \- Elegance and Safety in Goroutine Management** Concurrent programming is a core strength of Go, but managing multiple goroutines while handling errors and synchronization can quickly become complex and error-prone. The golang.org/x/sync/errgroup package provides a simple and effective abstraction for running multiple goroutines concurrently, propagating the first error encountered, and ensuring all routines complete before proceeding. In this article, we explore why errgroup is a valuable tool, how to use it effectively, and what design patterns emerge from its usage. We also examine how one might implement similar functionality manually, highlighting the pitfalls and edge cases that make a manual approach cumbersome. By comparing manual implementations with the idiomatic errgroup usage, we aim to demonstrate why adopting this package leads to safer, cleaner, and more maintainable concurrent code in Go. **2\. Vilibald Wanca \- Nail the Basics \- S01E03** Go does not use `try/catch` for normal error handling. Instead, it treats errors as explicit return values, while `panic` is reserved for truly exceptional or unrecoverable situations. A panic stops normal execution, runs deferred calls, and can only be intercepted with `recover` inside a deferred function. This makes `panic/recover` closer to an emergency escape hatch than a general exception system. The result is a model that favors clarity and explicit control over hidden flow. By attending the event I agree that photographs and video recordings from this event may be used by Sky Czech Republic for employer branding and promotional purposes across company websites, career pages, social media, third-party profiles, and other communication materials.

Před několika měsíci vyústila vyostřená debata o filtrech a Core vs Knots v kontroverzní návrh BIP-110, původně známý jako “BIP-444”, neboli Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork, který má za cíl dočasně omezit časté způsoby vkládání netransakčních dat na bitcoin. Je tento návrh efektivní? Jaké kroky navrhuje? Co se musí stát pro jeho aktivaci a jaká je situace dnes? Lukáš, náš expert na Rust a bitcoin, vám podrobně přiblíží tento problém z každého hlediska. **🦀 PREZENTACE** Tato přednáška představuje BIP-110 v kontextu debaty Knots VS Core, tedy o spam filterech. BIP-110 se snaží se vypořádat se s domnělým i reálným spamem změnou pravidel Bitcoin konsensu, tím že zakáže použití určitých op-kódů a omezí maximální velikosti dat u jiných opcodes. Na BIP-110 se podíváme 1. Z pohledu technického: Co přesně se snaží změnit a proč, kterým metodám se snaží zamezit, a zda zabraňuje některým legitimním použitím bitcoinu 2. Z pohledu časové osy a komunity: Kdy a kým byl BIP-110 vytvořen, kdy se aktivuje a jaké podmínky pro aktivaci musí splnit, jak fungují User-Activated Soft Forky, co se může stát, pokud k jeho aktivaci dojde, a co se může stát, pokud ne 3. Z pohledu efektivity: Jak zapadá do existujících způsobů vkládání netransakčních dat na blockchain, kterým způsobům nezamezuje, a jak se to projeví na ceně vkládání dat **🦀 NETWORKING** Po přibližně 60minutové prezentaci a Q&A zůstáváme na networking u piva. Zůstáváme do 22:00. * Registrace je zdarma. * Bude pití i něco k jídlu. * Odměny za nejlepší otázky. * Knihy od Braiins zdarma. **🦀 PŘEDNÁŠEJÍCÍ** Lukáš Hozda je expert na Rust, autor knihy Building Bitcoin in Rust a lektor kurzů Rust a Advanced Rust na Univerzitě Karlově. Přes den pracuje v pražské bitcoinové softwarové společnosti Braiins, kde jeho oficiální pracovní titul zní Braiins Superman. * Stáhněte si jeho eBook Building Bitcoin in Rust zdarma. * Sledujte Lukáše na X: https://x.com/LukasHozda Pokud vás zajímá seriózní Rust engineering, přidejte se k nám. 🔗 https://braiins.com *** **ENGLISH** 🇺🇸 **Analysis of BIP-110: Timeline, Details and Impacts. Can it work?** A few months ago, a heated debate about filters and Core vs Knots culminated in the controversial proposal BIP-110, originally known as 'BIP-444', or Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork, which aims to temporarily restrict common methods of inserting non-transactional data onto Bitcoin. Is this proposal effective? What steps does it propose? What needs to happen for it to be activated, and what is the situation today? **🦀 THE PRESENTATION** This lecture presents BIP-110 in the context of the Knots vs Core debate, specifically about spam filters. BIP-110 attempts to deal with both alleged and real spam by changing Bitcoin consensus rules, by banning the use of certain op-codes and restricting the maximum data sizes of other opcodes. We will look at BIP-110 from: 1. A technical perspective: What exactly it tries to change and why, which methods it tries to prevent, and whether it blocks some legitimate uses of Bitcoin 2. A timeline and community perspective: When and by whom BIP-110 was created, when it activates and what conditions it must meet for activation, how User-Activated Soft Forks work, what may happen if it is activated, and what may happen if it is not 3. An effectiveness perspective: How it fits into existing methods of inserting non-transactional data onto the blockchain, which methods it does not prevent, and how this will be reflected in the cost of inserting data **🦀 THE NETWORKING** After about a 60min presentation and Q&A we will stay to network over a beer, we stay until 22:00. * Register here for free entry. * Drinks and snacks provided. * Giveaways for the best Q&A questions. * Braiins Bitcoin books for free. **🦀 THE SPEAKER** Lukáš Hozda is a Rust expert, author of the book Building Bitcoin in Rust, and a lecturer of Rust and Advanced Rust at Charles University. By day, he works at the Prague-based Bitcoin software company Braiins, where his official job title is Braiins Superman. * Download his free eBook [Building Bitcoin in Rust](https://braiins.com/books/building-bitcoin-in-rust) * Follow Lukáš on X: [https://x.com/LukasHozda](https://x.com/LukasHozda) If you are interested in serious Rust engineering, join us. 🔗 [https://braiins.com](https://braiins.com/)
