Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 21:30:37

TL; DR: Retrospective Facilitation — Going from Good to Great The magic technique to turn a boring Retrospective into an outstanding Retrospective is the rotation of the facilitator role equally among all team members. Check out the following 10 benefits of this Retrospective facilitation practice, from boosting learning and skill development to ensuring continuity to encouraging ownership. Why Retrospective Facilitation Should Not Be Solely the Scrum Master’s Obligation While Scrum Masters are often the natural facilitator of Scrum events, it is most beneficial to the Scrum team if they can also participate as ordinary team members in a Retrospective most of the time.

You’ve Got Mail… and It’s a SPAM!

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 21:30:37

When Celina John finalized her college project “Spam Classification through Machine Learning Algorithms,” we didn’t expect the scope of the work to be so huge since the domain has been constantly evolving and we had to firm up the scope and key deliverables. As technology grows, spam is growing exponentially in all electronic communication channels, be it email, short message service, or social media. No matter how unethical and illegal, the number of spammers is increasing day by day, and sending unsolicited, unwanted, malicious messages sent in bulk to a large number of recipients.

Developers Are Scaling Faster Than Ever: Here’s How Security Can Keep Up

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 20:00:37

Lift-and-shift strategies are a thing of the past. Instead, forward-thinking organizations are adopting cloud-native platforms, which offer pre-constructed building blocks to increase velocity and flexibility in the architectures you design. As a result, developers gain an important benefit: The ability to scale quickly. Cloud-native platforms are the way of the future. In 2021, less than 40% of new digital initiatives were built on cloud-native platforms. However, Gartner predicts this will skyrocket to more than 95% by 2025. It’s easy to see why — faster time to market, ability to scale up and down based on demand, no responsibility to manage core infrastructure, and increased agility make cloud services a good investment.

Multi-Stream Joins With SQL

Transforming Translation: The Power of Context in NLP

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 14:45:37

Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Translation have emerged as indispensable tools in our increasingly interconnected world. They bridge communication gaps, foster cross-cultural understanding, and drive business in the global market. However, the depth and nuance of human languages pose unique challenges to these technologies, chief among which is understanding context. The context in language refers to the circumstances or background against which a text or speech is understood. It is a fundamental aspect of communication, providing critical cues that help us derive the correct meaning. For machines, however, grasping this concept can be complex and elusive. This post will delve into the importance of contextual understanding in NLP translation, explore the current methods used, and discuss the challenges and future perspectives of the field. By delving into these areas, we aim to present a comprehensive picture of the importance of context in NLP and machine translation, highlighting why it is a key area of interest for software engineers in AI and NLP.

An Overview of Kubernetes Security Projects at KubeCon Europe 2023

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 12:00:37

Many enterprises that implement Kubernetes don’t realize how insecure it can truly be out of the box—and even when they do, they’re not sure what to do about it. And since Kubernetes is an extremely complex and flexible tool that in production can consist of hundreds, if not thousands, of moving parts—understanding the vulnerabilities of Kubernetes, potential solutions, and relevant regulations and trends can be a time consuming and daunting task. For most any business, this makes it way too easy to introduce serious legal or security issues into their clusters and production applications.

The Internet of Things: Almost 5 Times Bigger by 2018

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 11:30:37

If you're interested in getting involved with IoT - maybe you're one of those Java developers who just got a fun set of tools - it looks like the next few years are going to be a good time to do it, because according to Business Insider's BI Intelligence report, the Internet of Things is growing. A lot. Specifically, the report is measuring the growth of internet-connected "everyday" and "enterprise" devices, which I assume refers to any internet-connected device that one would not traditionally expect to have an internet connection. In other words, your refrigerator, or your toaster, or your dog. According to Business Insider, there are approximately 1.9 billion of these devices today, and by 2018, there will be about 9 billion.

Internet of Doom: The Security Vulnerabilities of Connected Devices

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 11:30:37

Security in the Internet of Things is a fairly common concern these days - you know, Heartbleed, toasters, that kind of thing - but you may not even have considered the greatest threat to your connected devices: classic 1990s first person shooters. That's the scenario presented in this recent experiment from Context Information Security. By taking advantage of a web interface that require no user authentication, the Context team managed to get Doom up and running on a Canon Pixma printer. Obviously Doom is not the point in itself, so much as an illustration of the vulnerability, but it definitely gets the idea across. According to Michael Jordon at Context, the vulnerability was fairly serious:

Google Becomes A Java Developer's Best Friend: Instantiations Developer Tools Relaunched For Free

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 10:45:37

Back in August when Google acquired Instantiations, the speculation was that Google would possibly provide Instantiations GWT Designer as a free tool for all to use. Today, Google has made my day, because not only is GWT Designer relaunched as a free tool, but so are their three other core products. This is a huge day for Java developers, particularly those focussed on the desktop, as these tools are among the best of breed: as commercial tools they were worth the cost as they boosted productivity, but as free tools they are now an indispensible part of your software development workflow. The importance of this announcement can not be overstated. Firstly, Java developers now have a production quality UI builder for fast prototyping of their desktop application using either Swing, SWT or RCP, as well as GWT and XWT. I've used WindowBuilder in the past, and it's a great way to get started quickly. The code generated is very usable. There has been no convincing free solution available for this range of UI frameworks in the past: today that all changes.

“Incremental” Map/Reduce in MongoDB Isn’t

Rafal and Ben Foster commented on my previous post with some ideas on how to deal with incremental updates to map/reduce indexes. Rafal said: Actually, it's quite simple if you can 'reverse' the mapping operation (for given key find all documents matching that key): you just delete aggregate record with specified key and run incremental map-reduce on all matching documents. In today's example, you would delete the aggregate with key='oren' and then run map reduce with a query:

Importing multiple extension assemblies in C# with MEF

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 10:15:37

An application rarely depends on one single extension. If it does, then it has something wrong with its extension model and maybe it doesn’t need one after all. An extensible application allows the use of a multiple extensions that satisfy the standard exposed by the SDK: In my previous article I showed how to use MEF to import a single external assembly. However, MEF doesn’t impose a limit on the number of assemblies that can be imported, although some conventions should be followed.

How to Use RxJava with Android: Managing Async API Calls

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 10:15:37

We've written about RxJava and Android before, but this tutorial from howrobotswork takes a more in-depth look at RxJava through one particular use case: managing async API calls. If you're not familiar with RxJava, howrobotswork describes it as a "Java implementation of Reactive Extensions developed by Netflix" for asynchronous and event-based programs. The howrobotswork tutorial provides some background and set-up, but mostly focuses on how to build an Android REST API client with RxJava observables. Any Android developers looking to get deeper into RxJava should take a look at the full tutorial. Also, it's the first part in a series, and the second part - error handling with RxJava - has already been posted, potentially with more to come.

One of the key ideas of Groovy is to help Java developers be more productive, so why not bring it to Android? Luckily, Cédric Champeau has done exactly that with this Gradle plug-in on available on GitHub. It looks pretty straight-forward: edit your build.gradle a bit, choose your Groovy version and modules, add a depedency, and that's about it. It does seem to be leaning toward Android Studio, but that's okay, people seem to like Android Studio.

You've probably heard about Android Wear by now, but it still presents some questions for Android developers not yet fully invested in wearables. For example, how does one transition from mobile Android development to Android Wear? One option that makes a lot of sense is to work with existing Android apps that you've already developed, which Ivan Kocijan suggests in this recent post on Infinum. He provides a four-step walkthrough, in fact, of how an existing app - Erste & Steiermärkische Bank's queuing app - can be easily updated from an Android mobile version to Android Wear. It looks pretty cool:

How JavaScript Timers Work

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 05:30:37

At a fundamental level it's important to understand how JavaScript timers work. Oftentimes they behave unintuitively because of the single thread which they are in. Let's start by examining the three functions that we have access to with which to construct and manipulate timers. var id = setTimeout(fn, delay); - Initiates a single timer which will call the specified function after the delay. The function returns a unique ID with which the timer can be canceled at a later time. var id = setInterval(fn, delay); - Similar to setTimeout but continually calls the function (with a delay every time) until it is canceled. clearInterval(id); - Accepts a timer ID (returned by either of the aforementioned functions) and stops the timer callback from occurring. In order to understand how the timers work internally there's one important concept that needs to be explored: timer delay is not guaranteed. Since all JavaScript in a browser executes on a single thread, asynchronous events (such as mouse clicks and timers) are only run when there's been an opening in the execution. This is best demonstrated with a diagram, like in the following:

How to Get a Non-Programmer Started with R

Aggregated on: 2023-05-22 05:30:37

This recent article from Alyssa Frazee's blog provides a tutorial on how to help non-programmers get started with R. Given that R is a programming language popular outside of the development world - its focus on statistics and data visualization makes it popular among data scientists and sociologists, for example - the tutorial is a useful starting point and provides an outline of the need-to-know aspects of R. A lot of ground is covered in a series of quick and concise steps. For instance: How to download R and RStudio Working with graphics Data types Exploratory data analysis And more. An important detail here, though, is the intended audience of the tutorial: It is not for non-programmers attempting to learn R, but really for programmers attempting to teach R to non-programmers, especially in a concise, crash-course fashion. I think there would definitely be some value here for non-programmers or even programmers who are new to R (though experienced programmers interested in R might be better served elsewhere), because it provides an outline of things you need to research and learn, but I believe the intention is to be more of an informal teaching aid.

Overfitting, Generalization, and the Bias-Variance Tradeoff

Aggregated on: 2023-05-21 21:15:37

Machine learning is a complex field, with one of its biggest challenges is building models that can predict outcomes for new data. Building a model that fits the training data perfectly is easy, but the real test is whether it can accurately predict outcomes for new data. This article delves into the concepts of overfitting and generalization and explores how they relate to the bias vs. variance trade-off. We will also discuss techniques for avoiding overfitting and finding the optimal balance between bias and variance in our models.

What Is TTS and How Is It Implemented in Apps?

Aggregated on: 2023-05-21 20:30:37

Does the following routine sound familiar? In the morning, your voice assistant gives you today's weather forecast. And then, on your way to work, a navigation app gives you real-time traffic updates, and in the evening, a cooking app helps you cook up dinner with audible steps. In such a routine, machine-generated voice plays an integral part, creating an engaging, personalized experience. The technology that powers this is called text-to-speech, or TTS for short. It is a kind of assistive technology reading aloud digital text, which therefore is also known as read-aloud technology.
