[Links of the Day] 06/12/2018 : NLP summarisation, RPC protobuf framework, API security best practices

  • Fast Abstractive Summarization with Reinforce-Selected Sentence Rewriting : I would have mentioned this paper on the sole basis that the authors provide a GitHub repo with all the code used. This should be mandatory for any publication in Computer science. Anyway, the summarization tech described in the paper is pretty cool too. [github]
  • twirp : RPC framework with protobuf service definitions. If you don't want to go all gRPC, give this framework a serious look. I would consider twirp over gRPC for the sole reason that it uses the standard GO http server over the custom google one. Seriously google, why did you have to re-implement the HTTP server from your own language ?? 
  • API Security Best Practices : documentations providing some good security practice when it comes GitHubhub usage. As well as an excellent leak management document describing a fairly efficient process.

[Links of the Day] 18/10/2018 : Rust conf 2018 videos, Financial modeling for startups, Baidu RPC framework


  • bprc : Baidu enterprise-grade RPC. If you look at the performance, this looks really impressive.  But, sadly most of the docs are in Chinese. I don't really know how committed to opensource and if Baidu is culturally attuned to run opensource community. But I think we need to keep a close look at all the recent opensource announcement from Chinese companies and see how they withstand the test of time. Last but not least, you might note that Chinese tends to prefer QQ over slack for discussion medium. 
  • Financial Modeling for Startups : This is an interesting laying out the core element of financial startup modelling. This can be of great help for entrepreneurs out there that want to wrap their head around the difficult financials aspect of creating and running a company.
