Scylla Enterprise 2021 released 

ScyllaDB’s new major release of its NoSQL database offers a stable codebase for production workloads at scale and provides greater reliability from additional vigorous testing and enterprise-only features. 

Scylla Enterprise 2021 adds enhancements to its Amazon DynamoDB compatibility, faster searches on index lookups and many other improvements to performance, disk management and security. 

The release also adds the Space Amplification Goal (SAG), which is a new property that enables users to balance between space amplification and write amplification. 

LightningChart JS data visualization milestone

LightningChart JS set a new milestone for data visualization by achieving over 10 million data point rendering capacity. 

The results of a test that was performed on line charts indicated that implementing LightningChart on a high-end desktop PC can keep over 30FPS and data rates of over 10 million data points per second and that the project is roughly 700 times faster than the average of its competitors. 

“Major demanding, and life-changing, industries constantly require a visualization capacity that enables them to display data in a variety of charts. For instance, the medical industry requires real-time monitoring applications as well as 3D graphics that allow them to visualize biomedical data accurately and informatively,” LightningChart wrote in a statement. 

PostgreSQL 14 beta 1 released

The release of PostgreSQL 14 beta contains all of the features that will be available in the final release of PostgreSQL 14. 

The latest release contains improvements in transaction throughput for PostgreSQL systems that have a large number of connections to the database, additional gains in reducing B-tree indexing overhead and  SP-GiST indexes now support covering indexes that allow users to add additional nonsearchable columns to the index through the INCLUDE clause.

PostgreSQL 14 also introduces the ability to leverage query parallelism when querying remote databases using foreign data wrappers.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
