One of the fun parts of learning a new language is the involuntary urge of pitching its features against your favorite language of the same paradigm. I have been a Scala enthusiast for quite some time now, and have been trying to learn Haskell. it's no wonder that I have been passing through many of such "oh! it's flatMap in Scala" like rants, realizations and enlightenments.

In the last installment we took a look at the gap between what the PMO reports out, and what's actually happening in a project team. To begin to understand the nature of this gap, we’ll first take a look at what we use for project gatekeepers. We need to make a clear distinction in an IT project between the means and the ends. We often confuse this, because what we see day in and day out is that we’re paying for the means of production, when in the end we’re really acquiring an asset.

I am continuing my rendezvous with Joy, and this post is yet another rant about my perception of why combinators are real first class citizens in the paradigm of concatenative languages. Many of today's languages offer combinator libraries, but, with the possible exception of Haskell, none match the elegance that Joy offers. Combinators help programming at a higher level of abstraction.

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.

Biggest Battle Yet For Social Networks: You, Your Identity And Your Data On The Open Web. Facebook continues to make major and mostly proprietary moves as the battle for Web identity heats up. Most companies are following open standards but Facebook Connect is a creation of its own making. However, Google is actually making more interesting moves in this space in many cases and most folks aren't even paying attention.

You may have noticed how over the last few days, and after the massive piece of news I shared a couple of weeks back (By the way, thanks ever so much everyone! for the lovely comments! ), things have gone a bit quiet over here, once again. And must confess that has happened due to several reasons which I am shortly going to detail over here, so that you know what I have been up to so far heh.

Wikipedia says. "A combinator is a higher-order function which, for defining a result from its arguments, solely uses function application and earlier defined combinators." Primitive functions that do not contain any free variables. The functions take some arguments and produce a result solely based on those arguments only. No side-effects, nothing.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Programming for the sole purpose of having fun with it - How does this sound ? We have been talking about learning a different programming language every year, taking on the pill of polyglotism, learning languages that inhabit the common runtimes like the JVM or the CLR. But all this for the purpose of making ourselves a better programmer and raising our programmer value index in today's market.

Martin Fowler writes. "If you switch your integration protocol from SQL to HTTP, it now means you can change databases from being IntegrationDatabases to ApplicationDatabases. This change is profound. In the first step it supports a much simpler approach to object-relational mapping - such as the approach taken by Ruby on Rails. But furthermore it breaks the vice-like grip of the relational data model.

Many people who have reacted to Guido's gripes with Scala have bent the post towards a static-typing-is-bad-and-dynamic-typing-is-good syndrome. I think the main point of concern that Guido expresses relates to the complexity of Scala's type system and the many exceptions to the rules for writing idiomatic Scala. While it is true that there are quite a few rough edges in Scala's syntax today, none of them look insurmountable and will surely be addressed by the language designers in the versions

Apache Cassandra is an open-source distributed database that boasts an architecture that delivers high scalability, near 100% availability, and powerful read-and-write performance required for many data-heavy use cases.

In my previous post , I said that there are three major parts to any computer program: Structure , Action , and Results. Also, a program has Input , which could be considered a fourth part of the program, although usually it’s not the programmer who’s creating the input, but the user. So we can either abbreviate this as SAR or ISAR , depending on whether or not we want to include “Input.” Now, some people misunderstood me and said, “Oh, SAR is just another name for
