Companies are feeling pressure to adopt generative AI to stay ahead in a competitive global market. To ensure they adopt responsibly, governing and regulatory bodies across the world are convening to debate and understand the best ways to address AI risk without stifling their innovation edge. An existing debate surrounds the extent to which governments can and…
Tides ebb and flow. Pendulums swing. Ideas come and go, especially in programming, where the technologies and techniques for creating software continuously evolve. Some programming languages, libraries, platforms, and tools become hot and irresistible. When they’re mentioned, everyone at the planning meeting jumps on the table and cheers. Others lose steam or fall from favor,…
In a previous article, we explored various approaches to managing data for multitenant applications. We examined the benefits, compromises and limitations of different deployment models, including share-nothing, share-everything, and hybrid. We discussed the needs and challenges of each approach, from ensuring data isolation and scalability to managing customized tenant requirements. One key takeaway from this…
Open Source Initiative (OSI) chief Stefano Maffulli says Meta is “bullying” the industry on the concept of open source. The Economist more colorfully characterizes the dispute as “bare-it-all purists … confronting Meta, the social-media giant controlled by a mankini-clad Mark Zuckerberg.” It’s all much ado about something as AI proves exceptionally difficult to stuff into…
As we approach the end of another year, we here at DATAVERSITY have been busy analyzing our data and answering the big questions: What was the most popular content on our website and training center over the past 12 months? Which data management topics did you – our readers and students – seek out again…
Data management professionals face growing challenges in handling the vast amounts of live data generated by live systems, such as transportation networks, power grids, and security infrastructures. IoT devices have proliferated widely and produce real-time data on an unprecedented scale, placing significant demands on traditional data processing methods. Legacy approaches – often reliant on batch…
Users who expected to be able to use the resources of the Azure content delivery network (CDN) from Edgio until November 2025, as previously announced, had a not-so-festive “gift” this week – the CDN is now shutting down on Jan. 15, 2025. In a post on Github, Rich Lander, principal program manager, .NET core at…
Optimizing the performance of your .NET applications requires efficient resource management. Memory allocations and deallocations must be performed optimally in performance-critical applications. One of the best strategies to perform resource management in an optimal way in an application is by allocating and deallocating string objects judiciously. C# provides the string.Split() method to split strings in…
Over the past two decades, considerable innovation has gone into making sure developers don’t have to think much about the underlying physical machine their code runs on. Serverless computing is a paradigm that takes this objective to its logical conclusion. With serverless, you don’t have to know anything about the hardware or operating system your…
Over the course of 2024, Python has proven again and again why it’s one of the most popular, useful, and promising programming languages out there. The latest version of the language pushes the envelope further for speed and power, sheds many of Python’s most decrepit elements, and broadens its appeal with developers worldwide. Here’s a…
