Arrow for Efficient Date and Time Handling - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Sinossi

"Arrow for Efficient Date and Time Handling""Arrow for Efficient Date and Time Handling" is a comprehensive guide dedicated to mastering robust, clear, and high-performance temporal data operations in modern Python applications. Addressing the unique challenges of global timekeeping, this book methodically explores limitations in Python’s built-in datetime module, offering expert insights on regulatory, audit, and security imperatives, as well as requirements for concurrent and distributed systems. Through practical explanations and real-world case studies, it frames complex issues—such as time zone management, daylight savings adjustments, and localization—within the context of ever-evolving data ecosystems and internationalized applications.Drawing from the architectural strengths of the Arrow library, the book delves deeply into Arrow’s UTC-centric and immutable object model, fluent API, and superior interoperability with ecosystems like pandas and NumPy. Each chapter provides actionable guidance on advanced topics: from constructing, parsing, and localizing time data at scale, to implementing precise formatting, batch serializing, and optimizing for analytics workloads. With dedicated sections on temporal arithmetic, high-volume ingestion, distributed synchronization, and thread-safe patterns, practitioners are equipped to solve the most demanding problems in time-aware programming.The volume also serves as an authoritative reference for contributing to and extending Arrow itself. Learn how to craft custom formatters and plugins, conduct rigorous testing, maintain API stability, and migrate legacy systems with confidence. Advanced use cases illuminate the nuances of securing temporal data, leveraging Arrow in event-driven frameworks, and foreseeing the future of datetime standards. Whether integrating Arrow into financial applications, IoT systems, or cloud-native architectures, this book empowers engineers, data scientists, and architects to build accurate, maintainable, and globally robust time-handling solutions.

A Dumb Birds Field Guide to the...

Matt Kracht

We can all agree—birds are terrible. They're stupid and won't shut up. 
 
 
 
Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as: the absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), the outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker), and many more! 
 
 
 
Even the author's previous bird takedown guides are no preparation for this hilariously harrowing collection of squawking, conceited, trash-eating, and even murderous idiots. The horror. The horror . . . 
 
 
 
LOVE BIRDS? HATE BIRDS?: For those who hate birds and for bird lovers everywhere with a sense of humor, this handbook is equal parts profane and funny, and—let's face it—true. 
 
 
 
ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This uproarious guide to all things wings includes tips for bird identification, musings on the avian population and classification, and more. Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more.
