10 more bad programming habits we secretly love
We all know the thrill of bending the rules, or even breaking them. Maybe it’s going 56 in a 55-MPH zone, or letting the parking meter expire. Maybe it’s dividing two numbers without testing to see if the denominator is zero. Programmers have a weird relationship with rules. On one hand, code is just a […]

Understanding the generative AI development process
Back in the ancient days of machine learning, before you could use large language models (LLMs) as foundations for tuned models, you essentially had to train every possible machine learning model on all of your data to find the best (or least bad) fit. By ancient, I mean prior to the seminal paper on the […]

Interoperability at the Edge: How to Build a Modular Process Control System
In 2022, a global survey asked more than 2,000 IoT developers about the biggest barrier to IoT’s growth. Interoperability was the third most common response, with 22 percent of respondents naming it the major concern. This is where the need for building modular process control systems (PCS) comes in. Edge computing was also becoming a lot more common in industrial IoT. There were around 638 million edge-enabled devices in […]

SQL at 50: What’s next for the structured query language?
In May 1974, Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce published a paper on SEQUEL, a structured query language that could be used to manage and sort data. After a change in title due to another company’s copyright on the word SEQUEL, Structured Query Language (SQL) was taken up by database companies like Oracle alongside their new-fangled […]
