The agile approach to software development relies on service virtualization to give each IT team autonomy.

That way, integration testing can commence as soon as teams start iterating/sprinting.

I work on a lot of servers, and sometimes I find a host that hasn't installed GNU Emacs. There's usually a GNU Nano installation to keep me from resorting to Vi, but I'm not used to Nano the way I am Emacs, and I inevitably run into complications when I try to save my document (C-x in Nano stands for Exit, and C-s locks Konsole).

In a twitter exchange about ethical licenses, my friend Stephen O'Grady said something that I thought was sharp:  the energy cost is only part of the issue. maybe it's significant over the long term, maybe not. the collateral damage of the process to individuals and institutions with no other goal than protecting open source, however, is material IMO. read more

Any love for Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, WebAssembly? Bueller? Bueller? Microsoft's roadmap for developing Windows applications is opposed by some programmers who want to see a cross-platform solution, rather than just being Windows-only.…

In the "always-on" future with billions of connected devices, storing raw data for analysis later will not be an option because users want accurate responses in real time.
