cloud: GCP 4 DOD

Google's cloud division lands deal with the Department of Defense

"The new contract, which is through the DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), will be focused on identifying cyber threats, according to the release. Google said the system “will provide real-time network monitoring, access control, and full audit trails, enabling DIU to maintain its strict cloud security posture without compromising speed and reliability.”

The system, which will be centrally managed from Google’s console, will allow the DIU to run web services and applications across competing cloud services like those offered by Amazon and Microsoft."

AWS Amplify

Hosting for fullstack serverless web apps with continuous deployment

AWS Amplify Console

The AWS Amplify Console provides a Git-based workflow for deploying and hosting fullstack serverless web applications. A fullstack serverless app consists of a backend built with cloud resources such as GraphQL or REST APIs, file and data storage, and a frontend built with single page application frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue, or Gatsby.

MacBook Pro: use ports on right side!

Power Your MacBook Pro From Right Side USB-C Ports: Here's Why

"If you’re charging your MBP using the left-hand ports and have other accessories plugged into that side, the computer heats up so much that a sensor — Thunderbolt Left Proximity — is alerted and a macOS process named kernel_task appears. Suddenly the fans spin up on the MacBook Pro and CPU usage is maxed out."

immudb: immutable database in Go

codenotary/immudb: immudb is lightweight, high-speed immutable database for systems and applications

"immudb is a lightweight, high-speed immutable database for systems and applications. With immmudb you can track changes in sensitive data in your transactional databases and then record those changes permanently in a tamperproof immudb database. This allows you to keep an indelible history of sensitive data, for example debit/credit card transactions.

As such, immudb provides unparalleled insights retroactively of changes to your sensitive data, even if your perimeter has been compromised. immudb guarantees immutability by using a Merkle tree structure internally.

immudb gives you the same cryptographic verification of the integrity of data written with SHA-256 like a classic blockhain without the cost and complexity associated with blockchains today."

Tesla: Million Miles Battery; TX Terafactory

Tesla’s readying a ‘million mile’ battery that could greatly lower the cost of EVs - The Verge

"The battery is expected to lower the cost per kilowatt hour (the unit of energy most commonly used to measure the capacity of the battery packs in modern electric vehicles) to under $100. Many experts believe that reaching that mark would allow Tesla or other automakers to sell electric vehicles for the same prices as gasoline-powered ones, thereby making them far more accessible."

"...is being co-developed with Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd (CATL) "

property-based testing

From 1 to 10,000 test cases in under an hour: A beginner's guide to property-based testing - DEV Community 

How does property-based testing differ from example-based?

While they're from different concepts, property-based tests share many characteristics with example-based tests. This is illustrated in the following comparison of steps you'd take to write a given test:

Example based	Property based
1. Set up some example data	1. Define data type matching a specification
2. Perform some operations on the data	2. Perform some operations on the data
3. Assert something about the result	3. Assert properties about the result

Episode #178 Build a PyPI package from a Jupyter notebook - [Python Bytes Podcast]

• Carolyn Stransky, @carolynstran
• Excellent intro to property based testing and hypothesis
• Starts with a unit test that uses example based testing.
• Before showing similar test using hypothesis, she talks about the different mindset of testing for properties instead of exact examples.
• Like not the exact sorted list you should
• but instead,
• the length should be the same
• the contents should contain the same things, for instance, using set for that assertion
• you could element-wise walk the list and make sure i <= i+1
• She walks through the hypothesis decorators to come up with input and shows how to use some.lists and some.integers and max_examples
• Goes on to discuss coming up with properties to test for, which really is the hard part of property based testing.
• Checking for expected exceptions
• Using a naive method technique, useful in property based testing, to compare two versions of a method. This is super useful for refactoring and testing new vs old versions on tons of input data.

nbdev.fast.ai: IDE for Jupyter Notebooks

Episode #178 Build a PyPI package from a Jupyter notebook - [Python Bytes Podcast]

NBDev

• nbdev is a library that allows you to fully develop a library in Jupyter Notebooks, putting all your code, tests and documentation in one place.
• That is: you now have a true literate programming environment, as envisioned by Donald Knuth back in 1983!
• This seems to be a massive upgrade for notebooks and related tooling
• Creates Python packages out of a notebook
• Creates documentation from the notebook
• Solves the git perma-conflict issues with git pre-commit hooks
• Use #export to declare a cell should become a function in the package
• Manages the boilerplate issues for creating Python packages (setup.py, etc)
• Makes testing possible inside notebooks
• Navigate and edit your code in a standard text editor or IDE, and sync any changes automatically back into your notebooks (reverse basically)
• Follow getting started instructions.
• Docs render slightly better at nbdev.fast.ai
