[Links of the Day] 07/08/2018 : programming languages papers, terraform interactive visualization, self contained executable python file

• Papers on programming languages: papers about programming ideas from 70's for today
• blast-radius : Extremely useful tools allowing you to generate interactive visualizations of Terraform dependency graphs
• XAR : self-contained executable for python applications. It is a single, highly compressed files containing all necessary executable dependencies. It pretty much allows you to deliver the equivalent of a single golang binary but with python [Github]

[Links of the Day] 25/08/2016 : Micro-services architecture best practices, Semantic hashing and principles of programming language book

• Best Practices for Building a Microservice Architecture : Article providing an overview of the best practice when shifting complexity from a monolithic systems to a distributed one. Complexity doesn't disappear, it is bounded to the interactions between simple services. While this sound great, the complexity increase with the degree of interactions which can follow a power law. 
• Semantic Hashing : paper describing a method using deep learning algorithms for generating fast hash of documents. This method allow to generate locality sensitive that permit to execute similarity search over a vast library of documents in a time independent of the size of the collection. 
• Principles of Programming Languages :  book providing an introduction to the study of programming languages derived from Johns Hopkins University programming language courses.

[Links of the day] 19/01/2016: Public (big) data sources, Baidu CTC toolkit, Alien language

• Public Data sources : Essential and varied list of public data repository for your analytic.
• warp-ctc : Baidu fast parallel implementation of Connectionist Temporal Classification for CPU and GPU.
• Urbit / HOON : never heard of this programming language until I saw the excellent graphic comparing the evolution of programming language vs the evolution of religions. Personally i still didn't get my head around how Urbit/Hoon works and what we need it. But I'll make sure to keep an eye on it as for some reasons I feel that their is some potential hidden there.

[Links of the day] 18/01/2016 : Post quantum crypto, ARM virtualization, Scalable C

• Post-quantum key agreement : First, 99% of people out their do not use encryption correctly, so you should not be worried about post quantum crypto because you are not protecting yourself in the pre-quantum era. Now if you are part of the 1%, bad news you key size just jump from a couple of Kbytes to Mbytes (and maybe GB)... Very good read explaining the challenges ahead and existing gap of crypto solution in the upcoming post quantum era.
• ARM virtualization extensions : In depth look at the ARM virtualization feature. Maybe we can see a glimpse of what can be done with the AMD ARM server push. 
• Scalable C : book on how to make C scalable by the founder of ZeroMQ. Some good things, some bad one, a lot of grief toward C++. I personally love the C language but sometimes pitting one language against another doesn't help without context. Pick the tools that suits best and sometimes yes it means picking the one that makes collaboration efficient rather than make the code efficient.

Links of the day 3 - 11 - 2014

Today's links 3/12/2014:  #container management , choosing a #nosql platform, future programming , #ARM v8.1 , #Apache drill for #Hadoop

• Giant Swarm : kubernetes alternative 
• Visual Guide to NoSQL Systems : picking one is not as trivial as what they want you to believe.
• Future Programming Workshop 2014 : Video from the workshop 
• Arm v8 architecture : An overview of the ARMv8.1 architecture extensions (enhancements over current ARMv8). An important feature is the possibility to run a host OS kernel directly in EL2 (Hypervisor mode) saving some extra context switches for KVM.
• Drill : new top level project from apache , aim to deliver Schema-free SQL Query Engine for Hadoop and NoSQL

Links of the day 23 - 07 - 2014

Today a really cool programming language, code optimization, AWS profitability, Algorithms book and last but not least strategy 

• Commuter : an automated scalability testing tool that hunts down unnecessary sharing in your code. It try to identify shared cache lines within the code that can severely limit your software's ability to scale. [github]
• No more hiding cloud revenue any longer for  Amazon :  For years, Amazon Web Services hid its revenue in the shadow of Amazon.com’s quarterly earnings statements. However, due to AWS growth and US accounting regulation it might need to finally disclose its profitability in more details.
• Algoxy : Book of Elementary Algorithms and Data structures
• Two very nice blog post from Simon Wardley - Playing chess with companies and Notes on organisation - Very good introduction on how to use Mapping to define and understand a Strategy as well as 

Playing chess with Companies from Simon Wardley

• Escher: A language for programming in metaphors. This is a really cool programming language with a lot of potential, but probably also to far reaching and complex for your average developer.
