Netflix at Spark+AI Summit 2018 – Netflix TechBlog – Medium

posted by Category: Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering

By Faisal Siddiqi A glimpse at Spark usage for Netflix Recommendations Apache Spark has been an immensely popular big data platform for distributed computing. Netflix has been using Spark extensively for various batch and stream-processed workloads. A substantial list of use cases for Spark computation come from the various applications in the domain of content recommendations and personalization. A majority of the machine learning pipelines for member personalization run atop large managed Spark clusters. These models form the basis of…

DroneDeploy and Cloudflare Workers

posted by Category: Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering

Images courtesty of DroneDeploy When we launched Workers a few months ago, much of the focus was on use cases surrounding websites running on origins that needed extra oomph. With Workers you can easily take a site, introduce a raft of personalization capabilities, A/B test changes or even aggregate a set of API responses around a range of services. In short by layering in Cloudflare Workers we can take origin websites and do transformational things. One of the joys of…

Your goal is to get the computer vision algorithm right with high confidence without worrying about: Parallel processing Cloud infrastructures like EC2 instances or Docker Container Systems The location of ultra high definition (UHD) video sources Cloud storage APIs for…

Technology enables soft contact lenses to monitor glucose, medical conditions and deliver medications

posted by Category: Biomedical Engineering

Purdue University researchers combined a commercial soft contact lens with an ultrathin conformal sensor circuit. Credit: Purdue University Purdue University researchers have developed soft contact lenses that not only correct vision but also can monitor glucose and medical conditions and be used for ocular pain relief or drug delivery. Sensors or other technology previously couldn’t be used for soft contact lenses because the technology required a rigid, planar surface incompatible with the soft, curved shape of a contact lens. …

Networking @Scale 2018 recap | Engineering Blog | Facebook Code

posted by Category: Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering

Recently, we hosted more than 500 engineers at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California for our fourth Networking @Scale conference. As with previous Networking @Scale conferences, we look for operators of some of the largest “scale” networks and ask them to share their on-the-ground experiences in designing, building, and operating the networks. This year, speakers from IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Blizzard, and Facebook walked through the entire OSI networking stack, from layer 0 to layer 7. We also hosted…

The Technology – Airbnb Engineering & Data Science – Medium

This is the second in a series of blog posts in which we outline our experience with React Native and what is next for mobile at Airbnb. React Native itself is a relatively new and fast-moving platform in the cross-section of Android, iOS, web, and cross-platform frameworks. After two years, we can safely say that React Native is revolutionary in many ways. It is a paradigm shift for mobile and we were able to reap the benefits of many of…

Ten Questions with Angus Croll, Author of If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript

posted by Category: Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering

I never thought I’d know how to code. Although I am a software engineer now, I studied history and literature in college and took a job in marketing after graduation. Working at a tech company made me hunger for engineering skills, so I resolved to learn programming. My friends were shocked. One of them, upon hearing my plans for a career transition, recommended a book called If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript. “If any programming book is going to speak to a…
