GCP: GAE - Memcache best practices

Memcache is a distributed in-memory data cache in front of or in place of robust persistent storage for some tasks. GAE includes a memory cache service for this purpose. Best practices for using memcache: 1. Handling memcache API failures gracefully; Do not expose errors to the end users 2. Use batching capability of the API when possible 3. Distribute load across your memcache keyspace Use sharding and aggregating for improving performance efficiency. Use TTL (expiration policy) to make sure the memcache does not fill-up indefinitely Use getIdentifiable() and putIfUntouched() for managing the values that may get affected by concurrent updates Use batching (getMulti ("comments", "commented_by") ) to fetch related values together instead of one by one Use graceful error handling

Innate and Non-innate learning

I am reading a book called 'What did you ask at school today?' by Kamala V Mukunda. Would like to share some learning. The book is intended for teachers as primary audience, nevertheless, good for any adult to gain deeper understanding on learning process. She talks about brain structure, innate and non-innate learning aspects and talks about synergy needed between the two in the first two chapters. Firstly, innate learning is something that would not need explicit training. For example, kids learning the language. They wont feel strained or stressed during this kind of learning, just because they enjoy the process, where as non-innate learning focuses more on class room learning. It is accepted that learning through playful means will have more impact on kids than the impact through the structured learning. A physcologist, David Geary puts it this way - while learning through playful means has more impact, children should be encouraged to learn the skills through structure...
