I work as a data engineer – building and maintaining data pipelines and delivery tools for the entire company.
2 years.
Not quite! As a teenager, I wanted to become a cryptographer and spent most of my time in undergrad and grad school on research in privacy and security. I eventually realized I liked working with data and was pretty good at dealing with databases, which pushed me into my current role.
Become acquainted with the entire data journey and try to pick up one tool or language for each phase. For example, you may choose to use Python to fetch and transform data from an API and load it Continue reading
Most people in the IT community tend to their fields, making their living in their patches, but there are some who change the landscape, and still fewer who do it again and again. …
Point To Point In The Datacenter With Andy Bechtolsheim was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
You may have noticed our technical documentation has a new look and feel. The reason? We recently migrated to a new platform, Hugo, a really fast static site generator. All our written content is formatted in Markdown and the source code is stored in a public GitHub repository. When we merge a release branch into the master branch, the site automatically gets rebuilt, which takes about 5 minutes from provisioning to deploying the new build, so we can quickly update the site when we come across an issue.
What does this all mean for you? We encourage you to participate if you have the opportunity and desire — and we certainly welcome your pull requests! Feel free to update anything you see that is incorrect or that could be written more clearly. If your time is limited, you can always file a bug against the docs too.
We also accept your original content! If you have an automation solution or a unique Cumulus Linux deployment you’d like to share, feel free to write about it and we’ll host it in the Network Solutions section of the Cumulus Linux user guide. You can read our contributor guide for guidelines on Continue reading

We learned the sad news today that Tarek Kamel, one of the global Internet community’s best-known figures, has passed away. An accomplished engineer and statesman, Tarek was highly respected and beloved by all who knew and worked with him.
He was a firm believer in our mission and we have benefited greatly from his support for our work. He has a special place in the Internet Society’s past having founded the Egyptian Chapter of the Internet Society, served on our Board of Trustees and as vice president for chapters from 1999 to 2002, before becoming Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology from 2004 to 2011.
He made so many valuable contributions to the Internet and will be sorely missed. On behalf of the whole Internet Society, we extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
The post Remembering Tarek Kamel appeared first on Internet Society.
“I’ll get to that later.”
“I’m not feeling it right now.”
“I have to find an angle.”
“It will be there tomorrow.”
Any of those sound familiar? I know they do for me. That’s because procrastination is the beast that lives inside all of us. Slumbering until a time when it awakes and persuades us to just put things off until later. Can’t hurt, right?
The human brain is an amazing thing. It is the single largest consumer of nutrients and oxygen in the human body. It’s the reason why human babies are born practically helpless due to the size in relation to the rest of an infant. It’s the reason why we can make tools, ponder the existence of life in the universe, and write kick-ass rock and roll music.
But the human brain is lazy. It doesn’t like thinking. It prefers simple patterns and easy work. Given a choice, the human brain would rather do some kind of mindless repetitive task ad naseum instead of creating. When you think about it that makes a lot of sense from a biological perspective. Tasks that are easy don’t engage many resources. Which means the Continue reading
News from Internet Society Chapters and Special Interest Groups across the world:
Library in a box: This month, the Kyrgyzstan Chapter installed an electronic library called the Ilim Box in secondary schools in the southern part of Issyk-Kul region. The device allows the schools to access educational resources when they don’t have an Internet connection. All the data is stored in the device itself, with only a power supply needed.
Refresher course: Earlier this year, the Paraguay Chapter helped set up improved Internet access and an electronics lab at Colegio Técnico Nacional, a secondary school in Asunción. The equipment at the 1,500-student technical school had become obsolete, and many classrooms lacked an Internet connection and modern computers.
Student governance: Sticking with our focus on education, the Benin Chapter hosted students from the National Institute of Technical and Industrial Sciences of Lokossa earlier this year to talk about Internet Governance issues. Chapter members talked to the students about ways to take care of the Internet and how to pay attention to its development.
Internet for everyone: The Israel Chapter is focused on ways to bring access to more Arab residents. “The Israeli Internet Association sees a narrowing of the digital Continue reading
How nice would it be to have a fabric health dashboard displaying a summary of numerous parameters you’re interested in (number of operational uplinks, number of BGP sessions…) for every switch in your fabric.
