This is a piece of advice someone gave me a long time ago. Unfortunately, I don't really remember who, so I cannot properly attribute (although chances are they heard it somewhere too). But I decided to re-share this. What is refactoring? I'm sure we can find multitude of definitions. But with modern software development process it often becomes synonymous with any kind of code changes that do not add, modify or remove features. In other words, a non-product work. In effect it often becomes a blurry term and cause of tension between product stakeholders and the dev team. Who among…

Discord and Sony have that they’re rolling out the ability for PlayStation 5 owners to start Discord voice chats directly from their consoles. Discord was available on next-gen Sony consoles previously, albeit through a somewhat clunky process that .When you want to start a Discord call, go to the Game Base in your PS5 Control Center and select the Discord tab. Once you’re in, you’ll see a list of servers you’re a part of, see who’s in a voice channel and join it straightaway.

A High-Performance CSV Reader with Type Inference | Deephaven

stp2y0 CommentsNews

When working with big data, having a good CSV importer is essential. Yes, CSV is imperfect, but it is simple. Modern systems are driven by other formats – Parquet, Avro, Arrow, Orc, and others – but the CSV remains ubiquitous. To quickly grab data or do a proof-of-concept, CSV is often your friend.“Quickly” is the operative word. It’s not complicated: When you want to quickly work with data, slow ingestion of a source CSV is annoying.Too often this was the complaint of our users.

I’m sure some of you have looked at robo mowers as Roombas for your yard but, sadly, many of them require you to install a boundary wire around the perimeter of your lawn. And any product that requires you to dig a trench is the opposite of what “low effort” means to me. That’s why I was interested in trying Segway’s Navimow i105, its £945 (around $1,200) GPS-equipped mower which eliminates that busywork. And keeping your lawn neat and tidy is a job that’s all busywork.Ask a gardener and they’ll tell you the secret to a great lawn is to…

Real-time sentiment analysis with Python libraries | Deephaven

stp2y0 CommentsNews

With the uptick in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, sentiment analysis is certainly nothing new to the developer and data science communities. This work, though, has largely been performed on static data sets.What if you could perform sentiment analysis on Twitter or Reddit, with Python in real time? That is to say, take all of the historical batch data on a topic, feed real-time updates into this set, and then analyze the whole model (streaming analytics and batch data alike) in one dynamic table.With Deephaven, all of that is possible since the Python API seamlessly integrates Deephaven's…

Take me to Phoenix Springs.I didn’t make it all the way to the remote desert oasis and its mysterious community of misfits while playing the Phoenix Springs demo at Summer Game Fest, but after spending a brief time in Iris Dormer’s neo-noir world, I’m desperate to get there. I want to find out what happened to Iris’ brother, a man I’ve only heard about in strange, sad tales. I want to hear Iris’ voice articulating in my ear, providing brusque context for every scene. I’m ready to get lost again in the game’s sickly green shadows. I’m wildly curious to…

Build with custom real-time data sources | Deephaven

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Dynamic data comes from a variety of sources. Working with that data in real time opens many opportunities for analytics and applications. In modern systems, well-known protocols like Kafka are important, but so, too, are your custom sources. In many cases you may want to stream data from applications without hooking up Kafka.Deephaven is a data engine that 'just works' with streaming tables -- essentially tables that can update every so often or change quickly in real time. In the deephaven-core product, we recently released a building block called an "input table". It's designed to accommodate a large range of…
