  557. <li>Joe has another music suggestion for you, this time it&#8217;s a new album by Four Tet. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Four Tet, it&#8217;s often described as &#8220;IDM&#8221; or intelligent dance music. It&#8217;s slower and more experimental than what you&#8217;d hear in a club though it still has those steady beats to help you get in the zone.<br><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7mpTSR6E855VhdCeoPgpCF">https://open.spotify.com/album/7mpTSR6E855VhdCeoPgpCF</a><br><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/three/1729585296">https://music.apple.com/us/album/three/1729585296</a></li>

  569. <li>Some useful Java JVM settings when working with containers
  570. <ul>
  571. <li>XX:+UseContainerSupport this one tells the container to use all the available resources &#8211; this way the JVM benefits from the CPU / Memory allocated to the container</li>
  572.  
  573.  
  574.  
  575. <li>XX:InitialRAMPercentage=80.0 this one tells the JVM to use 80% of the RAM for the initial heap size &#8211; this is based off the container memory LIMIT</li>
  576.  
  577.  
  578.  
  579. <li>XX:MaxRAMPercentage=80.0 this one tells the JVM to use 80% of the RAM for the MAX heap size &#8211; this is based off the container memory LIMIT</li>
  580.  
  581.  
  582.  
  583. <li>XX:MaxDirectMemorySize based off reading, if NOT SET, this should default to the same as the Max Heap Size &#8211; which is better than what we were doing previously &#8211; previously we had this set to 256m which is smaller than some of the larger files we get from the CDS and was causing OOM issues.</li>

  780.  
  781.  
  782.  
  783. <ul>
  784. <li>Popular: 86. Adabas, 87. UniData/UniVerse, 147. JBase</li>
  785.  
  786.  
  787.  
  788. <li>Similar to RDBMS &#8211; store data in tables
  789. <ul>
  790. <li>Store multiple values to a particular record&#8217;s attribute
  791. <ul>
  792. <li>Some RDBMS&#8217;s can do this as well, BUT it&#8217;s typically an exception to the rule when you&#8217;d store an array on an attribute</li>
  793.  
  794.  
  795.  
  796. <li>In a MultiValue DBMS &#8211; that&#8217;s how you SHOULD do it</li>
  797.  
  798.  
  799.  
  800. <li>Part of the reason it&#8217;s done this way is these database systems are not optimized for JOINS</li>
  801. </ul>
  802. </li>
  803.  
  804.  
  805.  
  806. <li>Looked at the Adabas and UniData sites &#8211; the primary selling points seem to be rapid application development / ease of learning and getting up to speed as well as data modeling that closely mirrors your application data structures</li>
  807. </ul>
  808. </li>
  809.  
  810.  
  811.  
  812. <li>I BELIEVE it&#8217;s a schema on write (<a href="https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/bundle/unidata_developing_unibasic_applications_824/page/jhs1686676960863.html">docs.rocketsoftware.com</a>)</li>
  813.  
  814.  
  815.  
  816. <li>Supposed to be very performant as you access the data the way your application expects it</li>
  817.  
  818.  
  819.  
  820. <li>Per the docs, it&#8217;s easy to maintain (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiValue_database">Wikipedia</a>)</li>
  821. </ul>
  822.  
  823.

  825. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spatial DBMS</h2>
  826.  
  827.  
  828.  
  829. <ul>
  830. <li>Popular: 29. PostGIS, 59. Aerospike, 136. SpatiaLite</li>
  831.  
  832.  
  833.  
  834. <li>Provides the ability to efficiently store, modify, and query spatial data &#8211; data that appears in a geometrical space (maps, polygons, etc)</li>
  835.  
  836.  
  837.  
  838. <li>Generally have custom data types for storing the spatial data</li>
  839.  
  840.  
  841.  
  842. <li>Indices that allow for quick retrieval of spatial data about other spatial data</li>
  843.  
  844.  
  845.  
  846. <li>Also allow for performing spatial-specific operations on data, such as computing distances, merging or intersecting objects or even calculating areas</li>
  847.  
  848.  
  849.  
  850. <li>Geospatial data is a subset of spatial data &#8211; they represent places / spatial data on the Earth&#8217;s surface</li>
  851.  
  852.  
  853.  
  854. <li>Spatio-temporal data is another variation &#8211; spatial data combined with timestamps</li>
  855.  
  856.  
  857.  
  858. <li>PostGIS &#8211; basically a plugin for PostgreSQL that allows for storing of spatial data
  859. <ul>
  860. <li>Additionally supports raster data &#8211; data for things like weather and elevation</li>
  861.  
  862.  
  863.  
  864. <li>If you want to learn how to use it and understand the data and what&#8217;s stored (<a href="https://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/">postgis.net</a>)
  865. <ul>
  866. <li>Spatial data types are: point, line, polygon, and more…basically shapes</li>
  867.  
  868.  
  869.  
  870. <li>Rather than using b-tree indexes for sorting data for fast retrieval, spatial indexes that are bounding boxes &#8211; rectangles that identify what is contained within them
  871. <ul>
  872. <li>Typically accomplished with R-Tree and Quadtree implementations</li>
  873.  
  874.  
  875.  
  876. <li>RedFin &#8211; a real estate competitor to realtor.com and others, uses PostgreSQL / PostGIS</li>
  877.  
  878.  
  879.  
  880. <li>Quite a bit of software that supports OpenGIS so may be a good place to start if you&#8217;re interested in storing/querying spatial data</li>

  897.  
  898.  
  899.  
  900. <li>Used for implementing the concept of Event Sourcing
  901. <ul>
  902. <li>Event Sourcing &#8211; an application/data store where the current state of an object is obtained by &#8220;replaying&#8221; all the events that got it to its current state
  903. <ul>
  904. <li>This contrasts with RDBMS&#8217;s in that relational typically store the current state of an object &#8211; historical state CAN be stored, but that&#8217;s an implementation detail that has to be implemented, such as temporal tables in SQL Server or &#8220;history tables&#8221;</li>
  905. </ul>
  906. </li>
  907.  
  908.  
  909.  
  910. <li>Only support adding new events and querying the order of events
  911. <ul>
  912. <li>Not allowed to update or delete an event</li>
  913.  
  914.  
  915.  
  916. <li>For performance reasons, many Event Store databases support snapshots for holding materialized states at points in time</li>
  917. </ul>
  918. </li>
  919. </ul>

  932.  
  933.  
  934. <li>Many client interfaces: .NET, Java, Go, Node, Rust, and Python</li>
  935.  
  936.  
  937.  
  938. <li>Runs on just about all OSes &#8211; Windows, Mac, Linux</li>
  939.  
  940.  
  941.  
  942. <li>Highly available &#8211; can run in a cluster</li>

  949.  
  950. <li>&#8220;Projections&#8221; allow you to generate new events based off &#8220;interesting&#8221; occurrences in your existing data</li>
  951.  
  952.  
  953.  
  954. <li>For example. You are looking for how many Twitter users said &#8220;happy&#8221; within 5 minutes of the word &#8220;foo coffee shop&#8221; and within 2 minutes of saying &#8220;London&#8221;.</li>

  979. <ul>
  980. <li>If your internet connection is good, but your cell phone service is bad then you might want to consider Ooma. Ooma sells devices that plug into your network or connect wireless and provide a phone number, and a phone jack so you can hook up an an old school home telephone. We&#8217;ve using it for about a week now with no problems and it&#8217;s been a breeze to set up. The devices range from $99 to $129 and there&#8217;s a monthly &#8220;premier&#8221; plan you can buy with nifty features like a secondary phone line, advanced call blocking, and call forwarding. (<a href="https://www.ooma.com/home-phone-service/">ooma.com</a>)</li>
  981.  
  982.  
  983.  
  984. <li>Why use &#8220;git reset &#8211;hard&#8221; when you can &#8220;git stash -u&#8221; instead? Reset is destructive, but stashing keeps your changes just in case you need them. Because sometimes, your &#8220;sometimes&#8221; is now!

  1188.  
  1189. <li>A database system that specializes in storing vector embeddings and being able to retrieve them quickly
  1190. <ul>
  1191. <li>What is a vector embedding?

  1194.  
  1195.  
  1196.  
  1197. <li>What is a vector? A mathematical structure with a size and a direction
  1198. <ul>
  1199. <li>Think of it as a point in space (on a graph) with the direction being the arrow from (0,0,0) to the vector point</li>
  1200.  
  1201.  
  1202.  
  1203. <li>They say for developers, it&#8217;s easier to think of vectors as an array of numbers</li>
  1204.  
  1205.  
  1206.  
  1207. <li>When you look at the vectors in space, some will be floating by themselves while others might be clustered closely to each other</li>
  1208. </ul>
  1209. </li>
  1210.  
  1211.  
  1212.  
  1213. <li>Vectors are very useful in Machine Learning algorithms because CPUs and GPUs are very good at doing math</li>
  1214.  
  1215.  
  1216.  
  1217. <li>Vector Embeddings is the process of converting virtually any data structure into vectors</li>
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220.  
  1221. <li>It&#8217;s not as simple as just a straight conversion
  1222. <ul>
  1223. <li>You don&#8217;t want to lose the original data&#8217;s &#8220;meaning&#8221;
  1224. <ul>
  1225. <li>An example they used was comparing two sentences &#8211; you wouldn&#8217;t just compare the words, you want to compare if the two sentences had the same meaning</li>
  1226.  
  1227.  
  1228.  
  1229. <li>To keep the meaning and produce vectors with relationships that make sense, that requires embedding models</li>
  1230. </ul>
  1231. </li>
  1232.  
  1233.  
  1234.  
  1235. <li>Nowadays, many embedding models are created by passing large sets of &#8220;labeled&#8221; data to neural networks<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network</a>
  1236. <ul>
  1237. <li>Neural networks are trained using supervised learning (usually), they can also be self-supervised or unsupervised learning
  1238. <ul>
  1239. <li>Using a supervised model, you pass in large sets of data as pairs of inputs and labeled outputs</li>
  1240.  
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243. <li>The values are transformed in each layer of the neural network</li>
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247. <li>With each training of the neural network, the activations at each layer are modified</li>
  1248.  
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251. <li>The goal is that eventually the neural network will be able to provide an output for any given input, even if it hasn&#8217;t seen that specific input before</li>
  1252. </ul>
  1253. </li>
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256.  
  1257. <li>The embedding model is essentially those layers of the neural network minus the last one that was labeling data &#8211; rather than getting labeled data you get a vector embedding</li>
  1258. </ul>
  1259. </li>
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263. <li>They have a great visualization on the pinecone page showing the output of a word2vec embedding model that shows how words would appear in this 3d vectror space</li>
  1264.  
  1265.  
  1266.  
  1267. <li>This is what an embedding model does &#8211; it can take inputs and know where to place them in &#8220;vector space&#8221;
  1268. <ul>
  1269. <li>Items placed closer together are more related, and further apart, less related</li>

  1283. <li>Semantic search &#8211; rather than having search engines be able to search for words that are similar to what you entered, they can now search for content with meaning similar to what you searched for</li>

Also, Allen won&#8217;t ever mark you down, Outlaw won&#8217;t ever give you up, and Joe took a note to say something about Barbie here but he can&#8217;t remember what it was.</p>

  2142. <li>If you subscribe to Audible, don&#8217;t forget that they have a lot of &#8220;free&#8221; content available, such as dramatic space operas and the &#8220;Great Courses&#8221;<br>For example. &#8220;How to Listen to and Understand Great Music&#8221; is similar to a &#8220;Music Appreciation Course&#8221; you might take at uni. The author works through history, talking about the evolution of music and culture. It&#8217;s 36 hours, and that&#8217;s just ONE of the music courses available to you for &#8220;free&#8221; (once you subscribe) (<a href="https://www.audible.com/series/The-Great-Courses-Fine-Arts-Music-Audiobooks/B00DN7M09G">audible.com</a>)</li>
