mccutchen / nsq_to_file_jepsen.go
Created December 12, 2018 00:31
package main
// Here's a half-assed "jepsen" test for nsq_to_file that exercises its
// management of files in -work-dir and -output-dir in the face of multiple
// processes sharing those directories.
//
// Usage:
//
// 1. Ensure that the versions of nsqd & nsq_to_file you intend to test are on
// your $PATH:

Some engineering-related interview questions to ask a data scientist candidate.

  • How comfortable are you at a Linux or OS X command line?
    • Can you navigate around?
    • What are pipes?
  • Do you use source control?
    • How comfortable are you with git in particular?
    • Are you familiar with pull requests and code review?
    • Do you know to avoid common mistakes like checking large input or result data sets into the source code repo?
  • How do you ensure that your results are repeatable? How do you make sure other people can run your code reliably and easily?

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Once you've used `terraforming` to generate both HCL resource defintions and a
`terraform.tfstate` file to import your existing AWS resources into terraform,
your new resources will be littered with references to specific AWS resource
IDs rather than symbolic references to terraform-level resources.
This script will attempt to rewrite those IDs with symbolic references, so that
terrafrom can properly manage the resources and build a dependency graph
