JetBrains has unveiled a preview of its new lightweight IDE, Fleet . The new IDE is built to be simple and smart so that developers can get started with it without too much additional configuration required. Fleet is a polyglot editor, meaning that it can be used as a single IDE for all languages, rather than making developers open a different IDE for each language they use. It currently supports Java, Kotlin, Go, Python, Rust, and JavaScript. The company plans to extend support to cover PHP, C++, C#, and HTML, which are the remaining languages that have IntelliJ IDEs.  “Developers often use a variety of technologies, not only across different projects but also within a single project. At JetBrains, we’ve always strived to leverage the knowledge of the environment you’re using, which is why all of our existing IDEs are based on the same core platform,” Hadi Hariri, VP of developer advocacy at JetBrains, wrote in a post .  For simple tasks, Fleet can be up and ready within a second

The Java landscape moves fast, and with potential changes to OpenJDK release cadence, it’s poised to move even faster. For people like Michael Rasmussen, Head of Development at JRebel by Perforce, staying abreast of these changes, and understanding how they’ll impact development is paramount to creating features that resonate within the Java development community, keeping his application current with the latest versions of popular Java technologies, and developing new features, improvements, and integrations for JRebel. Recently, I sat down with Michael to discuss the Java trends that teams should watch for in 2022. It’s hard to talk about Java without mentioning the recent LTS release, Java 17. Do you think Java 17 will drive Java 8 level adoption? Or is it more akin to a Java 11? MR: Frankly, no. Java 8 had the benefit of a big feature that drove adoption. Java 17 doesn’t have that big feature, and while there are many benefits in moving to Java 17 if you’re on Java 8, it’s unlik

KServe is a tool for serving machine learning models on Kubernetes. It encapsulates the complexity of tasks like autoscaling, networking, health checking, and server configuration. This allows users to provide their machine learning deployments with features like GPU Autoscaling, Scale to Zero, and Canary Rollouts.  Created by IBM and Bloomberg’s Data Science and Compute Infrastructure team, KServe was previously known as KFServing. It was inspired when IBM presented the idea to serve machine learning models in a serverless way using Knative . Together Bloomberg and IBM met at the Kubeflow Contributor Summit 2019, and at the time, Kubeflow didn’t have a model serving component so the companies worked together on a new project to provide a model serving deployment solution.  The new project first debuted at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in 2019. It was moved from the KubeFlow Serving Working Group into an independent organization in order to grow the project and broaden the

PHP  is known as Hypertext Preprocessor. It is an open-source, server-side scripting language embedded in HTML used to manage databases, development of web applications, session tracking, build e-commerce sites, etc. It is kind of a programming language that is used for writing automated tasks. Many databases such as PostgresSQL, Oracle, Informix, MySQL can be integrated with PHP. It supports a large number of protocols such as POP3, IMAP , and LDAP. PHP scripts are interpreted only on a server that has PHP installed in it. Since PHP is a server-side scripting language, it gets executed first on the server and then it gets to the web browser to the user. Why is PHP so Common? Versatile:-  PHP is platform-independent and can be run on multiple platforms such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and multiple browsers are also supported. Speed and Security:-  PHP uses its memory for its overall functioning and hence has a good operational speed. Moreover, it has many new tools and frameworks

Within the emerging practice of DevSecOps there is no term more ambiguous than ‘shift left,’ a term likely to mean something subtly different depending on whom you ask. A commonly accepted view is that ‘shift left’ for security fosters the adoption of security practices as early as possible in the development lifecycle. This includes activities such as threat modeling, capturing security requirements, architecture review, and most vitally the integration of security testing tooling within developers’ native environments. For developers, this requires developer-friendly security tooling, typically operating with low latency, low in false positives, and adding value to the developer workflow. For security teams, this ‘shift left’ approach has meant developing a new set of skills, namely becoming familiar with development tools (think Git, CI/CD pipelines, containers, etc.) and delegating the operation of the tools to developers. Ideally, the ‘shift left’ approach allows security teams to

Immudb is a database written in Go that is immutable, which means that history is preserved and can’t be changed without clients noticing.  “Traditional database transactions and logs are hard to scale and are mutable, so there is no way to know for sure if your data has been compromised,” the project’s website states. “Immudb is immutable. You can add new versions of existing records, but never change or delete records. This lets you store critical data without fear of it being changed silently.” Immudb can operate both as a key-value or relational (SQL) database. Users can add new transactions, but deletion or modification of older transactions isn’t allowed, thus making the data immutable.  When a key record’s value changes over time (such as a bank balance), one can get multiple instances with different timestamps to give you the complete history of that record’s changes. Users can store a variety of common data types, verification checksums, or JSON. The data stored in the d

Microsoft announced the release of TypeScript 4.5, a language that builds on JavaScript by adding statically checked types. A few major highlights of the release include type and promise improvements, template string types as discriminants, private field presence checks, and new snippet completions. TypeScript 4.5 comes just three weeks after the release candidate and since then, TypeScript 4.5 has undergone several changes. The most notable of these is that ECMAScript module support for Node.js has been deferred to a future release, and is now available exclusively as an experimental flag in nightly releases.  TypeScript 4.5 also addresses a performance regression in –build mode due to excessive realpath calls for package.json files. This change was made for TypeScript 4.5, but was also back-ported to TypeScript 4.4.4.   Mabl raised $40 million in Series C Mabl, an intelligent test automation company, today announced $40 million in Series C funding. The financing round was led b

CSS is another thing you may learn just after understanding HTML . CSS stands for the cascading style sheets, which Hakon Wium Lie created in 1994. Hakon Wium Lie is considered the father of CSS as he created this amazing thing. And he used to work with the father of HTML, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee, when he was working in CERN. CSS was offered as the web styling language to make it appealing. And it was the solution that most of the users of HTML were looking at that time. When it launched, the users could use HTML 4.01 and CSS together to make their web pages more attractive. Hence, if you want to know about the history of CSS from its origin to now. Then read this essential article because it has several things that will help you understand CSS. You will also understand how CSS won over other styling languages of that time. What Does CSS Stand For? CSS is mainly used for web development or page design. It refers to the cascading style sheets that can format the web page layouts using

HTML is one of the first things that a student learns during a web development course. Hence, it becomes essential to learn about the history of HTML and its version in an accurate timeline. So, if you are also a web development learning enthusiast and wish to have a deep understanding of the same. Then read this crucial article to understand some foundational information about the same. What Does HTML Stand For? HTML is the short form of HyperText Markup language, and most people assume it as a programming language . But it is a markup language rather than any coding or programming language. It is used for most web pages and applications to define the text and body of the layout. HTML is the most popular markup language that was developed and written by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. And he created the world wide web too in 1989; however, his HTML version officially launched in 1993. from that time to now, HTML has seen continuous updates to add new features and functionality. Origin of H

Nowadays, cloud computing has become one of the most suitable ways to deliver ideal solutions to businesses. But do you wish to know why and how cloud computing developed? In this article, we will do the same to get some highlights about the history of cloud computing . The concept of cloud computing came into its existence during the early 1960s. And this was the time when the culture of the remote job started generating. Companies like IBM and DEC took some initial actions in the field of cloud computing. And some other companies started offering VPN services without charging much. Because of the vast availability of VPN, connecting with the network became relatively easy. And finally, in 1994, the cloud metaphor got functional for offering virtualized services. History of Cloud Computing Cloud computing was invented or introduced in the early 1960s. And JCR Licklider, also known as Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, developed this technology. He was an American psychologist and com

Apple today announced Self Service Repair, which will grant users who are confident in completing their own repairs access to genuine Apple parts and tools. It is available first for the iPhone 12 and 13 lineups, and will be followed by Mac computers featuring M1 chips. Early next year, Self Service Repair will be available in the United States and expand to additional countries throughout 2022. With this, users will join more than 5,000 Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASPs) and 2,800 Independent Repair Providers who have access to these parts, tools, and manuals. The beginning phase of the program will focus primarily on the most commonly serviced modules, such as the iPhone display, battery, and camera, with additional repairs becoming available later next year.

Next, the user will place an order for the parts and tools they will need for the repair from the on

Enterprises are moving full steam to the public cloud unencumbered by what is happening in the economy. If anything, volatility due to Covid has raised the importance of cloud benefits and the prospect of flexibility and scalability has further accelerated this movement. Enterprises no longer view public cloud as merely Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Instead, they are looking for a highly integrated enterprise platform. Data is the heart of the matter. In particular, data warehousing has emerged as the backbone of cloud data strategies. Every CIO must now solve the challenge of re-platforming their workloads from on-prem systems to cloud native ones. Curiously, instead of new vendors sweeping the floor with their legacy counterparts, a very different dynamic is emerging. For example, Snowflake, who positioned itself as the #1 cloud migrator recently had to admit that it isn’t that easy , after all.  On the other hand, an incumbent boldly proclaimed that vendor lock-in will ke

IBM unveiled its breakthrough ‘Eagle” 127-Qubit Quantum Processor which taps into the massive computing potential of devices based on quantum physics.  The company also previewed plans for IBM Quantum System Two, the next generation of quantum systems, which will integrate the concept of modularity into quantum computing to allow the  hardware to be flexible enough to scale.
