Broken benchmarks, misleading metrics, and terrible tools. This talk will help you navigate the treacherous waters of system performance tools, touring common problems with system metrics, monitoring, statistics, visualizations, measurement overhead, and benchmarks. This will likely involve some unlearning, as you discover tools you have been using for years, are in fact, misleading, dangerous, or broken.

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”
― Marianne Williamson

Shooshie Sulaiman often uses materials including earth, rubber sap, plants, flowers and some ash-based pigments and trees, asserting an inextricable collaboration between humans, landscape and the natural world. Sulaiman began working during the 1990s, when Malaysia opened to the free market, and her work continues to register the fraught atmosphere of that time. Now, Sulaiman focuses on learning and unlearning Nusantara cosmology, geography and spiritual intellectuality. Nusantara refers to the Malay archipelago.
In this series of drawings on used boxes, she created a series of learning tools for her daughter - Siddra Melati as a way of storytelling on Nusantara. In trying to explain to her daughter the significance of the human body with geographical atta-chments, she draws symbols and stories on the materials that are commonly used by her daughter to make box houses, toys and crafts. The works are titled for its significance with her exploration in the folklore of the equator, including Nusantara, Tenggara, Gunung Ledang, Galuh and the connection with the Jomon and Ainu people in Japan. Other works invoke the multiple indigenous narratives, flora and fauna of Southeast Asia; the Orang Laut (seafarer); the Lanong (pirates' vessel) of Philippines, Sang Kancil (Malay folklore of the mousedeer);
Pohon Beringin (The Banyan tree/symbol of Nusantara Co-smology), Hujan (rain); Hutan (forest), Nipah Islands and Peta (map).
...cannot be unlearned. So I try to discourage Suvi from learning anything that might help her to get into trouble.
Unfortunately sometimes other dogs teach her things behind my back, like jumping fences.
So now she jumps this fence, all the time.
It’s been said – spoken by the unlearned who spew a continuous narrative of white supremacy – that the African is docile, unintelligent, unable to fight. 25PIANKHI selects the African account below for education purposes. Our brother Haiti has disproved the “supremacy myth.” We must remember Haiti and not forget our brother when opening up development and economic opportunity. We are a great people. Our Brother Haiti is but one of us. #AfricaWillRise. #OneAfricanGiant (25PIANKHI © 2020 All Rights Reserved)

My "Once Removed" series (a sequel to my earlier series “Ain't I a Woman”) explores the stories of women who were only generations removed from the bonds of slavery, when millions of African-American former slaves fled the South in search of a better life for themselves and their descendants. With their first taste of freedom, they headed north and west in a “Great Migration” that changed the face of America forever. Those who critique attempts at teaching history's truth have suggested that white children might experience shame when confronted with lessons on systemic racism. But for me, shame comes from not knowing the truth and in having to unlearn a history that has taught less than the whole story. To teach a more complete history is to bring back the voices of those who have been intentionally silenced. The time is now to lift every voice.
Using 100 year old historical portraits which often feel strikingly modern, along with period documents, textures from my drawing and paintings, layered with pages from a 1919 antique book, "The Trees of Pennsylvania," I hope to create images that give voice to stories too long silent and restore dignity to women striving to escape their chains, both literal and figurative. I am creating select pieces from this series as mixed media collage works finished in cold wax to further explore the layering of time and memory as these women went on to create wide-growing family trees, putting down roots in fertile new lands.
