CapRover, Embedded Programming, Text Summarising, and Microservices
- CapRover — an extremely easy to use app/database deployment & web server manager for your NodeJS, Python, PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby, MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, WordPress (and etc…) applications.
- Gravity — a powerful, dynamically typed, lightweight, embeddable programming language written in C without any external dependencies (except for stdlib). It is a class-based concurrent scripting language with a modern Swift like syntax.
- PEGASUS: Pre-training with Extracted Gap-sentences for Abstractive Summarization — We evaluated our best PEGASUS model on 12 downstream summarization tasks spanning news, science, stories, instructions, emails, patents, and legislative bills. Experiments demonstrate it achieves state-of-the-art performance on all 12 downstream datasets measured by ROUGE scores. Our model also shows surprising performance on low-resource summarization, surpassing previous state-of-the-art results on 6 datasets with only 1000 examples. Finally we validated our results using human evaluation and show that our model summaries achieve human performance on multiple datasets. (Code)
- The Seven Deceptions of Microservices — “Lies” implies deliberate intent to deceive, but whether intentional or not, these are the false ideas about microservices (according to the author): Separation of concerns across services reduces complexity; Microservices increase development speed;It’s safer to deploy small services than an entire app; It is often advantageous to scale services independently; Microservice architectures are more performant; Managing multiple services won’t be hard; Microservices will work if you design them carefully from the ground up.
