Event Description

We're honored and delighted to have Tony Barr, creator of the SAS programming language and founder of Barr Systems here in Gainesville, making an intriguing presentation on his latest project, "A Model Of Reality".


"It is my belief that a better model for knowledge representation is to use
pictures to represent types, objects, and functions. The unification of set
theory, functions, and the type/ object model is a minimalistic formalism that
is sufficient for both type and object representation. It can be shown to be one
to one with the structure of languages such as C# and Pascal."

Article: Engineering Speed at Scale — Architectural Lessons from Sub-100-ms APIs

Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

Uber Moves from Static Limits to Priority-Aware Load Control for Distributed Storage

Uber engineers detailed how they evolved their storage platform from static rate limiting to a priority-aware load management system. The approach protects Docstore and Schemaless, Uber’s MySQL-based distributed databases, by colocating control with storage, prioritizing critical traffic, and dynamically shedding load under overload conditions.

Building Software Organisations Where People Can Thrive

Continuous learning, adaptability, and strong support networks are the foundations for thriving teams, Matthew Card mentioned. Trust is built through consistent, fair leadership and addressing toxic behaviour, bias, and microaggressions early. By fostering growth, psychological safety, and accountability, people-first leadership drives resilience, collaboration, and performance.

Presentation: Foundation Models for Ranking: Challenges, Successes, and Lessons Learned

Moumita Bhattacharya discusses the evolution of Netflix’s ranking systems, from the multi-model architecture to a Unified Contextual Recommender (UniCoRn). She explains how they built a task-agnostic User Foundation Model to capture long-term member preferences. Learn how they solve system challenges like high-throughput inference and the tradeoff between relevance and personalization.
