While data lakes and data warehousing architectures are commonly used modes for storing and analyzing data, a data lakehouse is an efficient third way to store and analyze data that unifies the two architectures while preserving the benefits of both. This data lands in its original, raw form without requiring schema definition.

There’s a lot of angst about software developers “losing their jobs” to AI, being replaced by a more intelligent version of ChatGPT, GitHub’s Copilot, Google’s Codey, or something similar. What does this mean for people who earn their living from writing software? But what does this mean in practice? It’s a lengthy list.

How can we achieve a similar functionality when designing our gRPC APIs? By default, gRPC uses protobuf as its IDL (interface definition language) and data serialization protocol.

If multiple threads can synchronize or coalesce their timer waits then the system becomes more power efficient. Implications.
