Hi All !
Here is the weekly summary of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I found very resourceful.
Technical:
- Time spent on Garbage collection in Java plays a very important role in fine tuning the Performance of an application. Here is a great talk on – “Understanding Java Garbage Collection and What You Can Do about It.“
- Cheat sheet for Sorting Algorithms – It also explains each algorithm in details on how they work and what is their Big O cost. – Cheat Sheet Link.
- Docker Hub Hacked – 190k accounts, GitHub tokens revoked, builds disabled. – “Is your account compromised ?“
- Meet Termshark, younger brother of Wireshark. Specially useful when debugging network on remote machine. – “Termshark“.
- So you have finally decided to get going on Python, and you want to know what companies expect from Python devs ? — “What do companies expect from Python devs in 2019?“
Non-Technical :
- Podcast that I enjoyed : First 15minutes of this one form Tim Ferriss – Episode#363. It talks about how to find a mentor and the importance of mentorship.
- Building a business of any sort involves adding value to a your customers, who intern become your fans. Here is a great post on how to aim for less and just have – ‘1000 true fans!“
- Since everyone is running high on the Avengers fever, here is the “visual of Franchise earnings comparison over 20 years”. Data is beautiful indeed. (recommendation – watch in Full-Screen mode)
- An extract from the book I am reading :
“It’s really how you look at it [bad situations], and the way you look at it is so important. If you can have a positive attitude, look at it, and say, “Let me see, what I can learn from this?” . . . Why would you ever get upset about anything?’”
