Mules have a difficult time. Mules are great at what they do. A mule is the result of a male donkey’s offspring and a female donkey’s (or the other way around, a hinny), which is highly valued for its ability to...
Data is a complicated subject. We don’t know how to refer to data. We should not talk about data that is ‘not’ available to support theories, etc. The Guardian newspaper debated the issue here, and seemed to suggest that our everyday...
Cloud is ubiquitous. The globally distributed nature of the computing backbone created by the planet’s datacenters and the neural IT hubs in between form a practically ubiquitous network of interconnectivity and access to compute power and data services. This reality has...
Developers develop software. Developers create software to make it workable, executable and secure. They also want code that can be integrated and eventually monetizable. It may be that they create it with a higher purpose for mankind and the planet, with...
Organizations run on data. This is a justifiable, verifiable and perhaps welcome truth that underpins the fabric of every modern business. But despite its essentially digital nature, not all data is equal in size, shape, form, function or state. With the...
Software is modern. By its very nature in the total universe of spacetime and all worldly matter, code-based software and the applications and data-centric services we get from it are modern. Blindingly obvious statements notwithstanding, the notion of software modernism it’s...
The future of cloud computing is uncertain. In the first era of cloud, the monolithic IT stacks of yesteryear (and even older archaic notions of client-server) started to give way to the new era of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) computing applications and services,...
Not all software works. Clearly we have all used applications that crash too often, stop working the way they used to, get to the point where they can’t scale to our wider extended needs, or simply get compromised by some update...
Software is made up of ingredients. Software is primarily composed of code at the fundamental level. Software applications and their constituent parts are often created by mixing ingredients according to a recipe or using guiding cooking instructions. Additional nuances of functional...
Percona, an open-source database software and services specialist, has described what is now a complete platform-play for the company’s IT stack. Percona is ready to promise big things in terms of scale, software source-code suitability and scope. Percona claims that it...
