## Agenda
|
||
|
||
1. Retrospective on last week:
|
||
- What went well?
|
||
- What was challenging?
|
||
- What did you learn?
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What went well?
|
||
|
||
@robrix:
|
||
|
||
- As of this morning we’re pushing data to graphite.
|
||
- There's a 2 hour window of when data is pulled in to graphite.
|
||
- We have a much more thorough understanding of the shape of the SES problems.
|
||
|
||
@rewinfrey:
|
||
- Came away with a much more thorough understanding of SES.
|
||
- Pairing with Rob on the profiling issues.
|
||
|
||
@joshvera
|
||
- Exploring the current productions of tree-sitter output.
|
||
- Got an airbnb for the Mini-Summit.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What was challenging?
|
||
|
||
@robrix:
|
||
- SES performance has been a problem. Briefly confused into thinking we had solved the problem. We’re profiling semantic-diff-tool and running the tests on semantic-diff. If we don’t clean semantic-diff-tool then it doesn’t know that semantic-diff has been rebuilt and it doesn’t try to relink it. Happens specifically when changing branches.
|
||
- SES performance depends on O(n) cost function.
|
||
|
||
@rewinfrey:
|
||
- Heartbreaking to discover that a huge performance win was a bad build.
|
||
- Felt like it was hard to contribute to the deployment and build process.
|
||
- Do we have a fallback in place in case S3 fails?
|
||
|
||
@joshvera:
|
||
- Error productions from tree-sitter are difficult to debug and obscure diff summary output.
|
||
- Understanding and communicating how our deployment process works to other people. Maybe this means we need better documentation?
|
||
|
||
|
||
## What did you learn?
|
||
|
||
@robrix:
|
||
- Learning about parallelism because we have large asymptotic factors in SES.
|
||
- Developed a stronger intuition for why cost has to be linear with respect to the size of the diff tree.
|
||
|
||
@rewinfrey:
|
||
- Learned a lot about profiling in Haskell.
|
||
- Learned how to use Profiteur to visualize the space and time costs for a given computation.
|
||
- Trying to use the Eval monad to parallelize the Minimax algorithm.
|
||
|
||
@joshvera:
|
||
- Learned about designing CRISPR proteins that can be edited into bacteria to defend against viruses and plasmids.
|
||
- Read up on GHC's Core language in order to understand some of the optimizations GHC performs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Other Items
|
||
|
||
- Mini-Summit plans set for the week of June 20th.
|
||
- Rob on vacation starting Tuesday June 7th! :sunglasses:
