@markrazy Sad that so many Timberwolves fans have turned on him. I'll never forget what he did in Minnesota: breaks the 13 year playoff drought then beats top-seeded Houston in the first home playoff game. Happy to ride for Jimmy

@mikestrives @NotionHQ @Ghost @bufferapp @crisp_im @emailoctopus Would you be willing to share why you decided to use @emailoctopus for your newsletter vs @Ghost (you mentioned that you use Ghost for your blog and enjoy the platform)

Initially @sarahmk125 makes the case for CDC based on data SLAs, but I like that she concludes by emphasizing regardless of SLA concerns CDC is simply the most reliable and scalable way to copy data from an operational database to analytical systems https://t.co/5xF6S2RtPF

In this way, CLP was able to demonstrate a higher compression ratio while enabling faster search performance than other index-based search tools (e.g. Splunk, Elasticsearch)

Fascinating paper about compressing unstructured text logs and maintaining searchability https://t.co/1q5i6aN6lv

[Aaron Burk @aaronbrrk]

Given a search phrase, CLP extracts the variable values, constructs the log type and searches the dictionaries. When matches are found CLP returns (and decompresses) only encoded messages that contain the matching parts

Perfect security team mantra: "keep risking responsibly" https://t.co/BK7fZ2liao

@allenholub In that case it sounds like we agree: iterative refactoring is good and you don't have to break code to improve it

[Aaron Burk @aaronbrrk]

@allenholub I understood you were suggesting that you don't see red again and I think red/green/refactor suggests the same. If you're repeatedly writing green to stress that you're running the passing tests as you refactor, to me that is implied

I was fortunate enough to sit in on a trial run of this talk today. Donald stood up a very cool example Python + Spark + AWS Glue data pipeline within a local Docker container and he live TDD-ed throughout. I recommend it if you’ll be at Open Source North this year

[Open Source North @OpenSourceNorth]

Proud to have Donald Sawyer from @ImprovingMN speaking at #osn2022. #EarlyBirdisOpen

@avand @AirbnbEng Devote your time to an idea you are passionate about, build something that solves a problem and work with peers that share that same creative spirit

[Aaron Burk @aaronbrrk]

Very cool looking experience @avand and team created with Awedience. What makes this story even more amazing is the support @AirbnbEng provided them to explore. Awesome! https://t.co/foLpbKORxc

@CFDevelop Unit testing offers validation throughout the development life cycle, before the moving parts are even ready to "behave together" (as you put it). I don't think of duplication/overlap/redundancy in an entirely different testing layer as a bad thing

I wrote a blog post about bitmaps and @Redisinc (with an open source example project/demo). Check it out if you're interested in representing a lot of state in an extremely little amount of space and constant time bit manipulations https://t.co/LgxqZk4rb6

@SpotifyEng @OskarStal I'm specifically referencing timestamp 6:48 - 14:30 of this video. That said, if you have the time and find that section interesting, then I think you'd likely enjoy the entire presentation (I did anyway). Very well done @OskarStal

[Aaron Burk @aaronbrrk]

Awesome explanation of how @SpotifyEng is creating personalized listening experiences in a fast, scalable and repeatable way. Loved the detail @OskarStal provided on the three architectural layers: features, shared models and data https://t.co/eb9pjbVz7w
