Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. Lua scripting is a hugely powerful feature of Redis. At the same time, though, Lua scripting can be tricky to “get right.”  There are many ways to run a script that works most of the time, which can also be articulated as a script that fails some of the time. Let’s take a look at a Lua scripting corner case in Python with RedisPy where your script can fail despite doing what looks correct. Of course, at the end, we’ll show you the bullet-proof way to do it when you need everything to always ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Hans-Joachim Edert. This blog is part one of a series on model validation. Introduction The struggle for finding the best approach how to bring analytical models into production is definitely not a new one. This final step – “the last mile” as my colleague James called it in his blog – has proven to be the most challenging part of the journey and unfortunately is often even a stumbling stone.

Feed: erwin Expert Blog – erwin, Inc.. Author: Zak Cole. As organizations deal with managing ever more data, the need to automate data management becomes clear.Last week erwin issued its 2020 State of Data Governance and Automation (DGA) Report. The research from the survey suggests that companies are still grappling with the challenges of data governance — challenges that will only get worse as they collect more data. One piece of the research that stuck with me is that 70% of respondents spend 10 or more hours per week on data-related activities. Searching for data was the biggest time-sinking culprit ...

Feed: erwin Expert Blog – erwin, Inc.. Author: Mariann McDonagh. I’m excited to share the results of our new study with Dataversity that examines how data governance attitudes and practices continue to evolve.The 2020 State of Data Governance and Automation (DGA) report is a follow-up to an initial survey we commissioned two years ago to explore data governance ahead of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) going into effect. Not surprisingly, the respondents that shaped the 2018 report ranked regulatory compliance as the No. 1 reason to implement data governance. However, the latest group of survey participants say ...

Feed: Actian. Author: Lewis Carr. This is the final installment on the series of blogs I wrote on the continued use of flat files and why they are no longer viable for use in the future. The first installment focused on flat files and why embedded software application developers readily adopted them.  Then in the second installment, I discussed why embedded developers are reluctant to use databases.  The third installment looked at why developers cling to the flat file systems.For this final installment, I realized that the argument for migrating off flat files probably needs to be done in a more prescriptive ...

Feed: Puppet.com Blog RSS Feed. Author: ; One of Puppet’s big strengths over the past decade has been the idea of model-driven automation. With Puppet, you model the desired end state of your infrastructure and Puppet does the hard work of continually enforcing that state on your behalf. It's powerful enough that the idea of idempotent desired state has become the standard way in which everyone expects new config management tools to work.But as we've talked to many of you about how Puppet fits in with your day-to-day work and how we can continue to help level-up your skills, we ...

Feed: Puppet.com Blog RSS Feed. Author: ; According to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) maintained by the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), 92 percent of reported vulnerabilities are in applications, and not due to insecure networks. That’s 11 out of 12. But this doesn’t mean you can throw away your firewall or go back to using telnet for your remote logins. Considering the NIST NVD contains over 86,000 known vulnerabilities, that still leaves around 7,000 reported network vulnerabilities. Using a layered approach to security is still the best approach.This does mean, however, that your quality assurance team ... Read More
