The document explains what a physical planisphere is. It represents the Earth from above and shows the separation of land and water, with oceans in blue covering 71% of the planet and continents making up the remaining 29%. The physical planisphere models the positions and shapes of the continents and oceans, and indicates altitude using different colors to portray geographical variety on Earth's surface. Sources of information for the document included science books, Wikipedia, and YouTube.
When the author was a child, they went on a magical trip to Switzerland where they were in awe of the beautiful green jungle, white clouds, blue sky, and bright sun. They enjoyed watching raindrops fall and smelling the fresh scents of the soil. Later, the author and a boy learned about planets like Jupiter and Juno, and speculated that another planet could be someone else's hell. In the evening, a sad old man asked a traveler if they could talk while overlooking the beautiful sunset sky together.
The document summarizes the planets in our solar system, dividing them into terrestrial and gas giant planets. It provides details on the four terrestrial planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars - including their composition, size, and other characteristics. It then discusses the four gas giant planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - and provides key facts about each planet's composition, moons, and other features.
There are many different types of houses and homes that people can live in. Houses can be made from various building materials like glass, wood, bricks, and thatch. Homes come in different styles such as detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, bungalows, cottages, and flats. Houses also feature different parts like walls, roofs, windows, doors, and chimneys that vary in material and design.
Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrating the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits to walk the Earth. People wore costumes and carved turnips to ward off spirits. As Christianity spread, the holiday blended with All Saints' and All Souls' Day, becoming Halloween. Immigrants brought Halloween traditions to America in the 19th century, where trick-or-treating and carving pumpkins instead of turnips became common practices still celebrated today.

The British celebrate Christmas through various traditions - sending Christmas cards, attending nativity plays and family gatherings. They decorate trees with lights, tinsel and baubles and homes with holly, ivy and mistletoe. Children write letters to Santa and leave mince pies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, families open presents under the tree and have a large meal including roast turkey before pulling crackers. Boxing Day involves sales and charity giving. The Christmas season ends with the Twelfth Night and remembering the Three Wise Men.

Red, yellow and blue are the primary colors that can be mixed to create all other colors. Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors - orange from red and yellow, green from yellow and blue, and purple from red and blue. Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel and analogous colors sit next to each other, both making pleasant color combinations. Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary and secondary color. The document provides information about different types of colors and how they can be created through mixing primary colors.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte WebinarZilliz
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
