Netflix Retires In-House Batch Queueing, Standardizes on Kubernetes Kueue

Netflix has migrated most of its batch workloads onto Kueue, the open-source Kubernetes-native job queueing system, retiring a homegrown solution that couldn't keep pace.

It's a big validation for Kueue as the default scheduling layer for batch and ML workloads.

Bbv ("bare-bones viewer") is a single POSIX shell + awk script that reads tab-separated data from stdin and renders line or scatter plots as an SVG opened in your favorite lightweight viewer. No dependencies beyond that viewer and no config: a deliberately minimal alternative to feedgnuplot for quick looks during exploratory analysis.

Satellites now clock traffic speeds: 22M vehicle records across Europe's E-roads

HeiGIT released ~22M individual vehicle speed observations covering Europe's E-road network from 2022-2026, derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Speeds are computed from a moving vehicle's echoes across the blue, green, and red bands, with per-vehicle trajectories, quality indicators, and timestamps shipped as GeoPackages for continental-scale traffic and transport studies.
