By John E Dunn The ability to index, query, and analyze large amounts of data from real-time sources remains a major headache for anyone involved in building database systems. Data retrieval takes time and even that assumes that the nature of the queries lie within certain parameters. Overcoming the issue is possible but can be resource-intensive and involve complex engineering. Meanwhile, the use cases for real-time data continue to multiply, not least in artificial intelligence (AI) applications connected to cybersecurity automation, fraud detection in financial services, and business analyt...

SLAs are a critical component of any outsourcing and technology vendor contract. Beyond listing expectations of service type and quality, an SLA provides remedies when requirements aren’t met. Following are answers to common questions about SLAs and tips on how your organization can craft effective SLAs with your vendors and partners. What is an SLA?A service-level agreement (SLA) defines the level of service expected by a customer from a supplier, laying out metrics by which that service is measured, and the remedies or penalties, if any, should service levels not be achieved. Usually, SLAs a...

By Matt Asay There isn’t nearly enough money in open source today. We can complain about venture capitalists distorting open source licensing, wring our hands about sustainability, and fret over how much foundation execs like Mozilla’s make, but the real issue isn’t that we have too much money sloshing around GitHub repositories. It’s that there isn’t more. Much, much more. Think about it for a second. How much does the world depend on open source today? Now make that more personal: How much do you or your employer depend on open source? According to the 2024 Open Source Security and Risk Anal...

Atos has opted for a rescue offer from Onepoint consortium that, together with offers from the French government and Alten to acquire parts of the business, lifts the cloud of uncertainty hanging over the ailing French IT services company. Onepoint’s proposal provides for a restructuring of Atos’ financial debt and the establishment of a sustainable capital structure, Atos said on Tuesday, the same day it announced that it had received a €270 million (about $290 million) offer from engineering consultant Alten to acquire Worldgrid, the part of Atos that provides consulting services to energy a...

By Serdar Yegulalp What's new this (half-)month in Python and elsewhere? First up is Monkeytype, an Instagram-created library with a somewhat silly name. What's not silly is using it to add type hints automatically to untyped Python code. We also have five lesser-known tools for data science, a chance to go feet-first into Django 5 without getting swamped, and another look at Python 3.13, whose second beta has arrived. Sadly, you still gotta compile it from source to try out the bleeding-edge goodies. Top picks for Python readers on InfoWorldAuto-generate Python type hints with MonkeytypeSick ...

By Nick Hodges In a past column, I talked about how the fat cats of social media profit from all of the value that normal folks like you and I provide. Social media sites have complete control over the attention-creating value that we provide for them, and give us little to no say over how that content is managed. They can even take away access to our profiles. All the money generated by our work ends up in their coffers. I mentioned Substack as a place with low take rates, and how content producers there are able to benefit much more directly from the value that they create because they use a...

By Matt Asay Everyone wants in on the AI boom. For now, however, you can probably count on one hand the number of vendors cashing in. The most obvious one is Nvidia, of course, Nvidia has earned nation-state levels of cash for its GPUs ($26 billion in the first quarter of 2024 alone). Beyond Nvidia are the big cloud vendors and OpenAI. Beyond that cast of five, however, it’s pretty hard to find many—yet. That “yet” is the key here. We are absolutely in a frothy period for AI, where vendors are selling “hopium” and enterprises are buying just enough to fuel proofs of concept, without much produ...

By Serdar Yegulalp This month in Python (and elsewhere): Python 3.13's first beta has arrived, with new features you can try out now (yeah!) and others you'll need to compile from source to experiment with (yikes). Layoffs strike Google—yes, again—with internal Python devs among the affected. And, say hello to Streamlit, a library for those who are itching to write web-based Python apps but hate writing for the web. Top picks for Python readers on InfoWorldThe best new features and fixes in Python 3.13New JIT compiler! "No-GIL" experiments! Better error messages! Dead batteries have been remov...

By David Linthicum Guess what? 95% of IT decision-makers say their team has been negatively impacted by the cloud skills gap. If that’s not bad enough news, by 2030, more than 85 million roles could remain vacant because there aren’t enough skilled people to fill them. Of course, these are not new figures. We’ve been hemorrhaging skills for the past 15 years, and the advent of cloud computing—and now the resurgence of AI—has made things worse, thanks to several factors: Just give up?Although this is a challenge for many IT organizations, it’s not unsolvable. The trick is to begin planning well...
