I see your graphs and I say "a pox on all your nodes"

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll walk you through "Gambler's Ruin".

This is a classic exercise in probability theory.

But going beyond the math, this exercise can teach us a lot about life, business, and investing.

@kennybastani I've had glorious exits, but nothing as boastful as this. Proof again that corporate shills don't recognize real talent.

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

In other words: we discovered that we have a branching factor in our data and it’s big. The resulting combinatorial explosion overwhelmed our systems.

AirBNB posted a nice overview of their entry into knowledge graphs: https://t.co/ckB917DQln.
I found this line hilarious: “There are cases when it is suboptimal to synchronously write data through the knowledge graph API”.

I don't always bulk load (or unload?) in @DataStax @cassandra, but when I do I make sure to use a @brianmhess approved / coded tool. Thanks @DataStaxAcademy!

[Brian hess @brianmhess]

Bulk loading into #DataStax / #ApacheCassandra has been a pet (okay, sometimes obsessive) interest of mine since pretty much day 1. My first blog post about the #dsbulk utility for bulk loading is now live on #DataStaxAcademy: https://t.co/f5PaD3RBv4 Enjoy!

Sure everyone's impressed when a 20 year old game developer does all the art and music and programming themselves, but can we all just be impressed by 35+ year old developers with spouse+mortgage+kids opening the code editor at 8:30 AM without spilling coffee on their pants

I just published the first update of Practical Gremlin in all formats since July. This release adds quite a bit of content and resolves many issues. Thanks as always for all the feedback and support. https://t.co/UNJzfsUg3s

@pollmeier @apachetinkerpop Wow! Now that’s the kind of Ocular riff I can get behind.

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@apachetinkerpop Beta available for download next week?

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

Just what we need, another declarative approach to querying data.

[Jean-Baptiste Musso @jbmusso]

Hours spent per developer per year figuring out whether it's $ binary -v, $ binary --version or $ binary version. Counting... #CLI

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@spmallette Oh, and don’t forget to remind them that mongodb is web scale

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@spmallette I’m shocked, shocked to hear that data layer devs have a bias toward legacy approaches that have persisted for over 40 years.

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@MarcSelwan @Adron My hometown on a shirt! I must get one.

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@bechbd @apachetinkerpop I’ll give you my Gremlin console when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

@mipsytipsy explains that the pets and cattle trope has applications in the logging domain as well.

[Charity Majors @mipsytipsy]

let's talk about two kinds of data that systems tend to generate: auditable and operational.

* auditable data: transaction logs, replication logs, billing/finance events etc
* operational data: telemetry, metrics and context that describe each request and system component

[GraphCurmudgeon @GraphCurmudgeon]

Reviewing a poor performing entity resolution implementation with a couple of data archs, using Cassandra it had a read before write for an in-line ER. One suggested adding a cache. The other responded by suggesting ScyllaDB for the cache, and I’ve been laughing since.

Don't open Slack.
