Python-fire : library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object
PolarFS : Alibaba n Ultra-low Latency and Failure Resilient Distributed File System for Shared Storage Cloud Database. Keep an eye on this one, as the authors are planning to deliver a TLA+ proof soon. Moreover, I hope that they also run a benchmark against GPFS or Luster rather than Ceph. Ceph is not really competing in the same league.
API design : pretty much the gold standard in API design. A must-read for anybody designing or using API.
The Crypto Canon : a16z crypto readings resources. Really well organised and will bring you up to speed at a gradual pace. It covers a wide range of topics from foundations (& history); and key concepts and beginners’ guides — followed by specific topics such as governance; development, privacy, and security; scaling; consensus; cryptoeconomics and investing; fundraising and token distribution; decentralized exchanges; stablecoins; and cryptoeconomic primitives (crytocollectibles, curation markets, games & culture).
Unlocking the black box of network embedding : this can have a huge impact on network graph embedding ( word2vec , skipgraph , etc..). The authors claim that they can provide a theoretical explanation of popular methods used to automatically map the structure and characteristics of networks
Pouch : container technology open-source project created by Alibaba Group. Basically the 3000 pounds Asian gorilla decided to push Open container initiative and help make container tech a commodity. It's interesting that we are seeing history repeat itself in the container domain the same way it happened, to some extent, with the virtualization stack.
