Weekly Bullet #28 – Summary for the week

Here are a bunch of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I came across recently and found them very resourceful.

Technical :

  • All recording from PyCon US 2021 are up on Youtube here. My fav is Keynote by Robert Erdmann about rebuilding 5 µm resolution picture of Rembrandt’s painting “The Night Watch” from 18th century with Python.

  • “Docker For The Absolute Beginner” course. This is offered free on kodekloud.com . The same course was taken by over 97,000 students on Udemy.
  • datefinder is an amazing python module for location date out of different date formats in a string. Here is a short video about the same.
  • Book recommendation – “BPF Performance Tools” – By Brendan Gregg.
    BPF-based performance tools give you unprecedented visibility into systems and applications, so you can optimize performance, troubleshoot code, strengthen security, and reduce costs.

Non-Technical :

  • “How to work Hard” – link here
  • Ironic to the above article — “Always be quitting” – ideas here
  • Language learning with Netflix – chrome extension here
  • Extract from a book :

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. Things that we had postponed for too long, that were long-term, are now immediate and must be dealt with. [A] crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before.
