[Links of the Day] 09/01/2020 : SaaS Postmortem, MIT DeepLearning Lectures, Kafka GUI

• A Failed SaaS Postmortem : an interesting postmortem of a failed SaaS. The TL;DR: too much focus on tech, not enough on customers.
• MIT Deep Learning : 2019 lecture on deep learning, started this January.
• KafkaHQ : Nice Kafka GUI for topics, topics data, consumers group, schema registry, connect and more.. If you want an alternative to it you can also check out Pulsar [pulsar] [pulsar dashboard]

[Links of the Day] 20/07/2017 : Statistics lectures notes, HA transactions, Capability Models for Manycore Memory Systems

• Lectures on Statistics : 2003 lecture note on statistics, pretty much cover all the basics of what you need to know about stats.
• Highly Available Transactions : the authors looks at the state of the database transactions system and well like any good scientist their conclusion is that there is more research to be done. But more seriously, highly available transactions and system need to be perfected and new semantics with hybrid systems are required to be developed in order to ensure the availability of transactions. 
• Capability Models for Manycore Memory Systems : Programming for manycores system is hard, optimising them is even harder. In this paper, the authors try to design models that help programmers to deliver efficient software for these type of hardware architecture. [slides]

[Links of the day] 17/05/2016: CMU DB lectures , Seminal IA papers, Storage noisy neighbors

• Database Systems Lectures: Carnegie Mellon University lectures on database system. It gives a really good overview of the state of the art of database systems.
• Intelligence without representation & Intelligence Without Reason : 1991 Seminal paper by Rodney A. Brooks from the MIT artificial intelligence lab. In these the author argue that intelligent behavior could be generated without having explicit manipulable internal representations and it also can be generated without having explicit reasoning systems present.
• Noisy Neighbor analysis : a look at the effect of deploying heavy workload onto modern storage systems and the collateral effect on overall performance for all the participant in the cluster.
