Presentation from Domino Data Pop-Up 2017 examining why business analyst communities have been slow to adopt best practices of reproducibility and (internally) open science.
What's in your workflow? Bringing data science workflows to business analysis...Domino Data Lab
While business analysis rapidly grows more data-driven, the analyst community is slow to adapt the best practices of data science workflows. Many parallels exists between data science “top topics” (e.g. reproducibility) and business pain points, but these common needs are obscured by the different “languages” of these two communities. The opportunity cost is greatest in heavily regulated industries such as finance and insurance where documentation and compliance are paramount.
In this talk, we will review our experience transitioning Capital One business analysts from legacy systems to open-source workflows by developing user-friendly tools. We incentivized business analysts to adopt the data science mindset by curating open-source tools and developing code packages which simplify workflows and eliminate pain points.
Our internal R package, tidycf, reimagines cumbersome Excel cashflow statements as dataframes and uses RMarkdown templates and the RStudio IDE for an intuitive, user-friendly experience without the overhead of maintaining a custom GUI. We tackle challenges in documentation and communication while immersing new users in the R language.
We will share best practices and lessons learned from our experience designing tools for non-technical end-users, standardizing workflows based on the RStudio IDE’s infrastructure, and evangelizing data science methods.

The dos and don’ts of digital brand engagement for festivals, from social to email, apps to experiential digital activities and more.
How principles of gamification and game design can be applied to festivals.
How sponsor/brand involvement and activation at festivals is quickly evolving…and booming!
Unleashing the Power of Data_ Choosing a Trusted Analytics Platform.pdfEnterprise Wired
In this guide, we'll explore the key considerations and features to look for when choosing a Trusted analytics platform that meets your organization's needs and delivers actionable intelligence you can trust.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
