May 13, 2024 D2C242: Data Engineering and its Streams, Rivers, and Lakes
Keith Gregory teaches Day Two Cloud about data engineering in a way DevOps folks (and hydrologists) can understand. He explains that the role of a data engineer is to create pipelines to transport data from metaphorical rivers and make it usable for data analysts. Keith walks us through the testing process; the difference between streaming pipelines and polling pipelines; and the difference between data lakes and data warehouses. Plus, he explains terms that network engineers and developers might bump into when working on big projects, but might not know exactly what they are: ELT, OLTP, columnar storage, and more.

Show Notes
Microsoft opens all of your chakras by open-sourcing the core of MS Edge Javascript renderer, Chakra.
Tin foil hat portion of our show: Remote Code execution on Trend Micro. This is currently plugged, but still interesting. We also learn that when Jeff visits the dark corners of the internet… for recipes… he always does safely it on a VM.
Pour out a 40 for all your dead web apps. IE 8, 9, 10 are now officially EOL, and sing with a choir invisible. Rejoice!
Despite being slightly behind in the Android game, Google now uses OpenJDK on Android.
We shout out a happy birthday to our single fan. Happy birthday, JC from AC…

November 13, 2015DevNews #102 – TACO, terrible testing, and party comets
Today I’m joined by Chariot consultants Sujan Kapadia (@SlurpeeOperator) and Eric Snyder to recap what we deemed to be this week’s exciting tech news.
Upcoming Events
Chariot is sponsoring Clojure Conj, to be held on Nov 16-18 at the Sheraton Dock Street in Philadelphia.
We are also co-sponsoring the HazelCast User Group Meetup on November 19th.
Join us in our webinar, Tools for Building the Real-Time Organization, on December 8th.
Show Notes
JavaOne is happening in SF as we speak, and hopefully we’ll have a recap on the Chariot Blog from some of our colleagues who are in attendance. For now, podcasters thoughts are: Jigsaw looks overly complex, but Java 9 REPL sounds exciting.
The ultimate spiky-haired boss build key: In light of the recent Volkswagen TDI Diesel cheating scandal, somebody put together this GitHub repo called Volkswagen for CI testing environments. It detects when your tests are being run on a CI server, and makes them pass.
Jiawei Li explains his move from Coffeescript to TypeScript – for greater clarity of code.
SPACE PARTY: Researchers find Comet Lovejoy spewing ethyl alcohol into space – as much as 500 bottles of wine per second at its peak activity. Cups up!
“We’re about to leave a whole chunk of the internet in the past.” Sites move to SHA2 encryption, millions face HTTPS lock-out.
A new addition to the open-source Hadoop ecosystem, KUDU, is announced. We figure out what, exactly, a Kudu is.
SparkSummit is happening (and all slides are already available in PDF format. Godspeed.) Coolest talk to Sujan? Spark being used at NASA’s JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) for climate modeling. We all know Spark is popular right now, and for good reason – NASA’s use only validates it further.
Hell’s thermostat seems to be broken – Microsoft releases TACO, the Tools for Apache Cordova. From the repo: “For developers new to Cordova, TACO makes it crazy-easy to setup your dev environment so you can begin coding immediately. The install-reqs utility downloads, installs and configures all the build tools you need for each mobile platform.”

October 10, 2015DevNews #101 – Return of the tin foil hat brigade
It’s the long-awaited return of DevNews! Today, Jeff Labonski and I talk all things tech in our first ever live-streaming YouTube show.
Upcoming Events
November 10th – Don Coleman’s Bluetooth Low Energy workshop. Walk away with your own Arduino hardware.
Chariot is sponsoring Clojure Conj, to be held on Nov 16-18 at the Sheraton Dock Street in Philadelphia.
Show Notes
[Tin foil hat brigade] Malvertising is on the rise – injections of Nasty Stuff Indeed are coming across the major players (Google, Yahoo). Mainly possible via SSL, real time bidding, and a general reluctance to do anything with their main revenue model. Realtor.com and Forbes.com compromised recently. The malware suites (Neutrino and Angler) have approximately a 40% success rate, and are constantly upgraded to include 0-day exploits.
Airbus crash was a configuration control blunder. Another example of change control actually murdering people. See also: Therac-25. Learning from failures, especially fatal errors, is worthwhile. (This is also why I don’t work on flight control systems & medical devices). From Reuters:
“Investigations are at an early stage but the key scenario being examined is that the data — known as “torque calibration parameters” — was accidentally wiped on three engines as the engine software was being installed at Airbus facilities.”
Thought provoking academia: Dr. Michael Scott did a neat writeup on the current state of Transactional Memory – now present in Intel Haswell and Power 8 chips, coming soon(ish) to a language construct near you. Provides software developers the ability to specify operations as atomic without specifying how. Think a RDBMS’s optimistic locking and concurrency engine, but in hardware near memory access and cache lines. Already present in some Haskell and C++ extensions. (ACM SIGACT June 2015 vol 46 No. 2)
I’ve been requested by my only fan to mention “shiny and chrome” at least once.

We discuss…
Some of our favorite talks of the day
Breaking Keyboard Cat, ECMAscript 6, and where JavaScript is heading
TC39 – biological virus? Spaceship?
Core.async, Ember 2.0, and why we can’t wait to play with Glimmer

March 06, 2015DevNews #96 – ng-conf 2015 – day 1 recap – Angular 2, 1.4 and more
Salt Lake City, Utah, is a beautiful place to have a conference. The organizers must realize that, as they planned ski trips and other events all around the show. That said, I’ve been locked up in my hotel room for the most part digesting what I’ve learned in Day 1. There is a live stream of the conference, and the YouTube videos are coming quickly, but I figured I’d devote two quick DevNews episodes to a first-person recap.I will be blogging for months based on the material I’ve picked up here.
Here are a few highlights of the conference, day 1.
