The timing is suspect, because Google has been pushing Cloud Source Repositories as a private Git repository recently [1]. So, GitHub will most likely be part of Azure portfolio. Developers might be fickle, but they are fully locked into th

I have a controversial view, correct me if I am wrong. I think democracy has a major flaw, because, most people are selfish/unfair and most likely vote for populist leaders. But, it has been so far saved by media because of the elitist

This article focuses on ease of use i.e. avoiding the nastiness of RDBMS entities as in-memory data structure. But the main reason most of us used ORM is because of its portability between different databases. In the on-premise deployment e

It may not be transparent to the consumers. But, these algorithms are designed by actuaries and everyone in the company understands how it works. You need to have an audit trail of how the premium is calculated. But in deep learning algorit

You dont need to go that far. If you want to replace an algorithm in a regulated industry like insurance (say, premium calculation based on risk score), you need to show the audit trail of how you arrived at the result. You cant have a prob

That's overgeneralization i think. I have seen "experts" leave the company and join startup or start their own, because they want to be hands-on. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villa
