That’s a massive budget discrepancy, which probably explains why only 22% of businesses are satisfied with their conversion ... Read More

The DNS then provides the address of ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Mary Beth Moore. Every day, military intelligence analysts sit behind computers reading a never-ending stream of reports, updating presentation templates and writing assessments. But intelligence is more than documenting events and sharing breaking news. It involves understanding and predicting complexities in human behavior across various organizational constructs and using facets of information to make assessments on past, current and future circumstances. The availability of both human and technological resources has a large affect on the quality of these assessments. For the past two decades, technology has advanced at an incredible rate.

I missed only one talk, on ProxySQL, (to get some water, drink a bottle of famous Belgian beer and chat with my former colleague in MySQL support team, Geert, whom I had not seen for a decade). So, for the first time out of my 4 FOSDEM visits I've got a first hand impression about the entire set of talks in the devroom that I want to share ... Read More
