Feed: What's New. Author: Bronwen Boyd. As humans, we have several basic needs, including the need for food, but throughout human history, food has become more than a simple commodity. Food—and how it’s consumed, grown, and purchased—can be a reflection of culture, geography, and socioeconomic status, making food data both complex and irresistible.

For those of you who are new ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Fredric Paul. When it comes to databases, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love to type commands and those who like to interact with their data visually. OK, maybe the world doesn’t always need to be divided into two categories. Sometimes you want the best of both worlds. And now Redis gives you exactly that—you can continue to use Redis’ familiar command-line interface (CLI) and also choose to work with your data visually. At RedisConf 2019 earlier this year, we announced that we were acquiring RDBTools—a popular graphical user interface (GUI) ... Read More

Feed: Teradata Blog. Many of you have probably read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyoaski and Sharon Lechter. It advocates the importance of financial literacy and building wealth by investing in assets. We can apply the same concept to data science and ask the question, “What is a rich data science model and what is a poor data science model?” My answer would be that a rich model is one which makes money for your company and a poor model is one which does not make money for your company So how do we make a rich data science ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Between 2008 and 2015, augmented reality (AR) was a technology gimmick looking for a market. Leveraging devices like smartphones, tablets, and, starting in 2012, smart glasses, innovators struggled with technical limitations, hype, and weak use cases. In mid-2015, the market began a time of recalibration. While the announcements about Apple’s ARKit and Google’s Android ARCore are splashy headlines, Tractica does not believe they will have significant impact in enterprise AR market adoption (explaining why is a blog post topic for another time) for some time. The most significant developments since 2015 in that ... Read More
