Django is a one-size-fits-all Python web framework that was inspired by Ruby on Rails and uses many of the same metaphors to make web development fast and easy. Fully loaded and flexible, Django has become one of Python’s most widely used web frameworks.

Like every other programming environment, you need a place to store your data when coding in the browser with JavaScript. Beyond simple JavaScript variables, there are a variety of options ranging in sophistication, from using localStorage to cookies to IndexedDB and the service worker cache API. This article is a quick survey of the common mechanisms for storing data in your JavaScript programs.

When we first got the personal computer, we didn’t worry much about how things worked. We were, frankly, stunned that we even had such a thing. You had to learn some arcane lingo to type into a DOS prompt. That the computer might be difficult or awkward to use didn’t occur to us. But things gradually got more sophisticated, and when the original Macintosh came out with its powerful graphical user interface, we started realizing that the process of interacting with a computer could matter to us.

Historically, large language models (LLMs) have required substantial computational resources. This means development and deployment are confined mainly to powerful centralized systems, such as public cloud providers. However, although many people believe that we need massive amounts of GPUs bound to vast amounts of storage to run generative AI, in truth, there are methods to use a tier or partitioned architecture to drive value for specific business use cases.

Despite advances in cloud computing, mobile development, and AI, the day-to-day business of enterprises around the world still runs on three programming languages that made their debut in the 1990s. In nearly every ranking system, JavaScript, Python, and Java appear near the top of the most popular languages.

Devops continues to grow in popularity as organizations look for ways to add efficiencies to the development process. Research and Markets, a market research firm, predicts that the worldwide market for devops tools and services will grow from $10.56 billion in 2023 to $29.79 billion in 2028.

Whether OpenAI did or didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice to front ChatGPT’s “Sky” personality, it’s somewhat telling that people don’t seem to find it hard to imagine OpenAI CEO Sam Altman capable of the misappropriation. Despite the promise of AI, we keep seeing examples of AI run amok, as with Google’s attempts to set AI loose on search results (to very bad effect in some instances). Speaking of the Johansson incident, Charlie Warzel writes in The Atlantic that this seems like “yet another... Читать дальше...

Classes, fields, methods, constructors, and objects are the building blocks of object-based Java applications. This Java tutorial teaches you how to declare classes, describe attributes via fields, describe behaviors via methods, initialize objects via constructors, and instantiate objects from classes and access their members. You'll also learn about setters and getters, method overloading, and setting access levels for fields, constructors, and methods.

Classes and objects in Java must be initialized before they are used. You've previously learned that class fields are initialized to default values when classes are loaded, and that objects are initialized via constructors—but there is still more to initialization. This tutorial introduces all of Java's features for initializing classes and objects.

The tech industry is buzzing with talk of cloud repatriation, partly due to some articles I have written here. What frustrates me about this industry is the lack of nuance. People make everything seem like drastic shifts.
