- 12/11/2019 - 12/25/2019: "I Remember Nothing" - Anne Billson, The Best Horror of the Year: Volume 11 (2019) ed. by Ellen Datlow and all the following. Ellen's recommendation in this volume is what got me to read Rutger's The Anomaly last month which I really enjoyed. I ordered one or two other of her recommendations as well, although my current queue is like 20 books lone.
- Monkeys on the Beach by Ralph Robert Moore
- Painted Wolves by Ray Cluley
- Shit Happens by Michael Marshall Smith
- I enjoyed this one - I get along with his writing style.
- You Know How the Story Goes by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
- Back Along the Old Track by Sam Hicks
- Masks by Peter Sutton
- The Donner Party by Dale Bailey
- Interesting alt history, although I intuited the ending far in advance.
- Milkteeth by Kristi DeMeester
- Haak by John Langan
- Maybe my favorite. Peter Pan alternative. Genuinely Cthulhu lore style.
- Thin Cold Hands by Gemma Files
- A Tiny Mirror by Eloise C. C. Shepherd
- I Love You Mary-Grace by Amelia Mangan
- The Jaws of Ouroboros by Steve Toase
- More scifi than horror in my opinion, but scary scifi, I'll give it that.
- A Brief Moment of Rage by Bill Davidson
- Golden Sun by Kristi DeMeester, Richard Thomas, Damien Angelica Walters, and Michael Wehunt
- White Mare by Thana Niveau
- Girls Without Their Faces On by Laird Barron
- Thumbsucker by Robert Shearman
- You Are Released by Joe Hill
- End of the world tale. More realism than horror story.
- Red Rain by Adam-Troy Castro
- Split Chain Stitch by Steve Toase
- No Exit by Orrin Grey
- Haunt by Siobhan Carroll
- Sleep by Carly Holmes
- 12/10/2019: Challenging SQL on Hadoop Performance with Apache Druid
- 12/9/2019: Basic Druid documentation
- 12/8/2019: Accessing data using Apache Druid (Hortonworks)
- 12/7/2019: Introduction to TWO approaches of content-based Recommendation System - not my favorite ML breakdown
- 12/6/2019: Druid: A Real-time Analytical Data Store - a more technical paper about time series and Druid.
- 12/5/2019: An Introduction to Event Data Modeling
- Read a LOT more from Snowplow besides this article. A lot. So much. We've been talking event tracking and streaming, so I was interested in their details.
- 12/4/2019: Why We Don't See Many Public GraphQL APIs
- 12/3/2019: A Beginner's Guide to the OKR Framework - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/beginners-guide-okr-framework-ragavendran-madhusudanan/
- OKR = Objectives and Key Results
- Company, team, and personal >> line of sight (in my old org)
- Not the how, the goal.
- Objectives: "ambitious, qualitative, time bound and actionable "
- Key results: numeric-based expressions of success or progress towards an objective. No more than 4 per objective.
- My concerns...these are experiments. And the boldest changes are true experiments with concrete demos in front of real customers. See the Sprint book >> you might not know what you're going to produce until you dig in (so maybe the goal is to dig in before the quarter starts).
- Business specific. Ambitious. Less is more. Not a task list. Public. Grade them mid-term. Grade between 0 and 100 (0 and 1). .6 to .7 is success! (woo, we are C to D students!)
- Cascading OKRs. (line of sight)
- 12/2/2019: The Root Causes of Product Failure by Marty Cagan at Mind the Product San Francisco [49:14] - Ofeliya had me watch this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dccd8lihpQ
- 12/1/2019:
