Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Mark Callaghan; This is a hypothesis, perhaps it is true. I am biased given that I spent 15 years acknowledging tech debt on a vendor-based project (MySQL) and not much time on community-based projects. My theory on tech debt and OSS is that there is more acknowledgement of tech debt in vendor-based projects than community-based ones. This is an advantage for vendor-based projects assuming you are more likely to fix acknowledged problems. Of course there are other advantages for community-based projects.I think there is more acknowledgement of tech debt in vendor-based projects because the community is ... Read More

Feed: MemSQL Blog. Author: Floyd Smith. How does a major technology services company equip itself to compete in the digital age – and provide services so outstanding that they can significantly advance the business prospects of their customers?

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: sherrilhanson. Driving authorities around the world are encouraging – or mandating – the deployment and use of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) for safety and traffic management, according to a new report from Tractica. The arrival of 5G brings enhanced capabilities for C-V2X using the dedicated spectrum set aside for intelligent transportation applications and network-based automotive applications of many kinds.However, vehicle connectivity is an extremely complicated topic. The number of standards bodies, industry associations, and technology vendors is very large. There are also many vested interests – political as well as commercial – and a long legacy of ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Keith Kirkpatrick. According to a recent report published in the journal Nature, researchers and scientists at Google claim that a quantum computer performed a computational task that would be impossible for a conventional computer to complete. Thus, it demonstrated what is known as “quantum supremacy” for the first time ever. According to the report, Google’s 53-qubit Sycamore quantum computing machine was able to finish a computing task in 200 seconds. This was significantly faster than the 10,000 years it would take the world’s most powerful supercomputers to accomplish the same task. However, as Google acknowledges, ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Glenn Sanders. Most robots and collaborative robots (cobots) have a fixed configuration and structure. This works well for the applications for which they were designed. But what if the owner wants to use the robot for a new application? It would be useful if the joints and shape of the robot could be reconfigured when needed. Modular robots provide the solution and the flexibility to meet the needs of smart factories, as well as client expectations of shorter turnaround and customization. This is the idea behind modular robots. Let’s look at a few examples. Modbot ... Read More
