“Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.”

Franz Kafka’s talents wouldn’t have been wasted as DBA. Well, reasonable people might disagree.
With this article, we are shouting out a new enterprise feature for ArangoDB: consistent online single server or cluster-wide “hot backups.”
Over the past two years, many of our customers have productionized their machine learning pipelines. Most pipeline components create some kind of metadata which is important to learn from.
This metadata is often unstructured (e.g. Tensorflow’s training metadata is different from PyTorch), which fits nicely into the flexibility of JSON, but what creates the highest value for DataOps & Data Scientists is when connections between this metadata is brought into context using graph technology…. so, we had this idea… and made the result open-source.
We are excited to share ArangoML Pipeline with everybody today – A common and extensible metadata layer for ML pipelines which allows Data Scientists and DataOps to manage all information related to their ML pipelines in one place.
This is a story of an excursion to the bottom of a deep rabbit hole, where I discovered a foot gun in gcc‘s libgcc. The investigation has cost me several days and I hope that by writing this up I can entertain others and save them the journey.
If a C++ application is compiled with GCC on Linux and statically linked against a non-GLibC C-library (like libmusl), then there is a danger of a data race which leads to a busy loop happening after main() and all static destructors have finished. The race happens, if the application does not use pthread_cancel explicitly and if the very first exception which is thrown in the processes’ life is thrown in two different threads at the same time.
