Sugui Digest — SE01EP02— Easter hangover
Hello there! Hope you´re safe. After a week of endless meetings, good food, chocolates and gratitude I´m back. Thank you all for your feedbacks and if you want to connect, to don´t miss any edition reach me on my Twitter Profile.
While you read this digest, if I could suggest, listen Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats with the incredible album Tearing at the Seams.
*My book recommendation of the week is Creativity Inc. I´ve read twice and going to third time facing my new challenges.
*Take a moment to understand the Mamba Mentality — Kobe Bryant. Superb!
*Talking about mentality, how close you´re from a BURNOUT? I got 4.1 of 6, not good.
- **Curiosity** Do you know what is a Hyperbolic Paraboloid? Does this equation z=x²/a²-y²/b² ring any bell? Think again:
*Remember when we used to have more than 20.000 people together to talk about cyber security? Highlights of Black Hat 2019. Always encrypt everything, enable MFA and do not open links in emails from who you don´t know.
*This week AWS made some announcements such as the price reduction of 40% in Data-Transfer-Out in South America Region. DTO certainly is a success factor of the project and must be considered. To understand the costs, check the image below:
*Iphone SE is back! I´m personally a huge fan. They´re small, lighter and cheaper (you can lost or crack it more times). Thanks Apple.
*Microsoft will promote a two-day Security Bootcamp to talk about Identity and Access Manager, Threat Protection, Cloud Security and more. Too advanced? Why don´t you try the Azure Training Day: Fundamentals? Multiple dates and everyone who attend will get a $60 voucher to AZ-900 entry level certification.
*Interested about how many times your company got mentions on internet on last month? Or want to know all news about the companies you have stocks? Newscatcher can give it to you. And they show how it has been built in two months.
*A crypto challenge released in 1999 and should take 35 years to be solved has its solution in a dedicated core in 3 years. Using GPUs it took 2 months to get solved. I confess it tempted me to rollout a HPC cluster to beat that time.
*Amid the needs of COBOL developers for governments institutions, the Open Mainframe Project brings a COBOL programming course totally free! Don´t know yet what is COBOL? If you have 100 seconds, watch the video:
*Once we mentioned a Github repo, what about 10 Extraordinary Github Repos for all developers?
*Nike and the technology dopping with Vaporfly%. Seems to be a great shoe if you run below 4´40"/km and want to pay 250USD.
*Need to choose which AWS Compute service will fit better on you project? Try this matrix developed by Servian_.
*One of most elegant log solution I ever ask on my AWS interviews is composed by Kinesis, Elasticsearch, S3 and Athena. It was called on a past of ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana) than evolved to EKK (Elasticsearch Kinesis and Kibana). Now, we have a new way to do it powered by Kubernetes called ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes) and it´s an alternative to GCP and other cloud providers that don´t support Elasticsearch as a managed service.
*Bored? Try Radiooooo and find out the musics were hit since 1900´s around the world.
TL;DR
*The article of Dr. Werner Vogels: When scaling your workload is a matter of saving lives. It uses HPC, AWS Batch and some other spices.
*After 4 years studying blockchain, creating SOWs and technical analysis about the platforms, a mistery has been solved: Why Corda platform has this name?
*Undeniable that Facebook is a huge platform. I don´t use it since the end of 2016 for privacy reasons (still use instagram and whatsapp so not using facebook is no guarantee of anything, but let me fool myself). In 2018 the platform tried to do the things (sort of) right. It led to 15 months of Fresh Hell inside the company.
*AWS Connect, the call center service of AWS that can be powered with a lot of other services but unfortunately not available in South America (blame on phone carriers) in this article brings all power of data analytics over voice calls.
For the grand finale this week I bring the last page of The Killing Joke. In hard times to keep sanity…
