If you look at the Apple’s revenue break-up, you will come across a comparatively small segment called “other services”. This small segment of other services, including itunes, App store, Apple pay, etc., generated $8.5 billion for Apple in 2017 and over $110 billion since 2008. What appeared to be yet another mp3 player in the market had a solid business model behind it in the form of itunes.

Getting DataOps right is crucial to your late-stage big data projects. At Strata 2017 , I premiered a new diagram to help teams understand why teams fail and when: Early on in projects, management and developers are responsible for the success of a project. As the project matures, the operations team is jointly responsible for the success. I've taught in situations where the operations team members complain that no one wants to do the operational side of things.

A year after the Java 9 release was supposed to “rock our worlds”, the LTS version we’ve ACTUALLY been waiting for is finally here. Most of the developers, teams, companies, etc. that we know haven’t updated past Java 8 yet. Even with the release of module Java 9 last year, and the quick release of Java 10 that followed in March. It’s a bit shocking, though not surprising, that two new versions of the JDK were released in the last year and that relatively few people are using them.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

The idea behind electronic health records seems sound: Bring a patient’s paper chart into the Digital Age.

A VPS is a virtualized server that has the tendency to mimic the dedicated server within the environment of hosting. In simple words, it is technically a virtual shared hosting but has the characteristics of a dedicated hosting. To have your website running at its full potential online, you need to have a good hosting environment. VPS hosting is one of the major three types of hosting that businesses these days preferred to opt for. .
