"An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices."

"Technical Debt is widely regarded as a bad thing; that should be avoided or should be paid back as soon as possible."

SoftNAS™ is business-class network attached storage (NAS) delivered as software as a service.  The NAS software virtual appliance runs within your cloud computing environment (e.g., Amazon EC2) or local virtual server environment (e.g., VMware vSphere) and manages the available raw disk storage, providing enterprise-grade storage capabilities. SoftNAS leverages a number of open source technologies, including ZFS on Linux.  ZFS on Linux is a port of the popular ZFS filesystem originally produced by Sun Microsystems and released with OpenSolaris.  SoftNAS builds on the robust, solid foundation of ZFS and its powerful, extensible Linux foundation.

"Podio is an online work platform with a new take on how everyday work gets done. Podio gives people more power than ever before to manage their work in their own way and is trusted by thousands of teams, companies and organizations worldwide. Podio users create workspaces to collaborate with specific groups of people, use an Employee Network for company-wide communication across departments and locations, and get their work done using Podio Apps. Anyone can build their own Podio Apps without any technical skills, and can choose from hundreds of readily available, free apps in Podio's App Market. These apps add structure to any business process or project and are connected to social, collaborative activity streams used for commenting and discussion."

"NIST recently published its four-volume SP800-63b Digital Identity Guidelines. Among other things, it makes three important suggestions when it comes to passwords: Stop it with the annoying password complexity rules. They make passwords harder to remember. They increase errors because artificially complex passwords are harder to type in. And they don't help that much. It's better to allow people to use pass phrases. Stop it with password expiration. That was an old idea for an old way we used computers. Today, don't make people change their passwords unless there's indication of compromise. Let people use password managers. This is how we deal with all the passwords we need."

"HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) technologies are relevant when the data challenges being faced push the limits of what can be addressed by traditional database systems, XML documents, or in-house data formats. Leveraging the powerful HDF products and the expertise of The HDF Group, organizations realize substantial cost savings while solving challenges that seemed intractable using other data management technologies. Many HDF adopters have very large datasets, very fast access requirements, or very complex datasets. Others turn to HDF because it allows them to easily share data across a wide variety of computational platforms using applications written in different programming languages. Some use HDF to take advantage of the many open-source and commercial tools that understand HDF. Similar to XML documents, HDF files are self-describing and allow users to specify complex data relationships and dependencies. In contrast to XML documents, HDF files can contain binary data (in many representations) and allow direct access to parts of the file without first parsing the entire contents. HDF, not surprisingly, allows hierarchical data objects to be expressed in a very natural manner, in contrast to the tables of relational database. Whereas relational databases support tables, HDF supports n-dimensional datasets and each element in the dataset may itself be a complex object. Relational databases offer excellent support for queries based on field matching, but are not well-suited for sequentially processing all records in the database or for subsetting the data based on coordinate-style lookup."

A community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 40+ optional plugins (rails, git, OSX, hub, capistrano, brew, ant, macports, etc), over 80 terminal themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

Excelentes configuraciones de prompt y auto-completar para trabajo con git y git-flow!

In terms of language popularity, much of the late 90s and early 2000s revolved around so called "managed" languages, such as Java or C#. Currently however, industry seems to be turning back more and more to native languages, and in particular two mainstream ones - C++ and Ada.

"Datomic is a distributed database designed to enable scalable, flexible and intelligent applications, running on next-generation cloud architectures. It does this by: Bringing declarative data manipulation into the application, and the data with it Getting time, process and perception right Process (writes) require coordination Perception (reads) require none The past doesn't change Leveraging immutability, and a sound model of state Datomic has: ACID Transactions Joins A sound data model A logical query language - Datalog Thus, Datomic avoids the compromises and losses of many NoSQL solutions. In addition, it offers flexibility and power over the traditional model in supporting: Hierarchy Multi-valued attributes Minimal schema Reliable operation on unreliable, ephemeral cloud instances Time Datomic avoids manual caching and replication, complex configuration, sharding (automatic or manual), logging, locking, latching and disk management of traditional servers."

"Docker is fast becoming one of the hottest technologies under development. Released just a year ago, the open source project for creating virtualised application containers has already caused major cloud players, from Red Hat to Google, to rethink how applications can be delivered, run, and managed, especially in cloud environments."

"Clocker features: Automatically create and manage multiple Docker hosts in cloud infrastructure Intelligent container placement, providing: resilience fault tolerance easy scaling maximum resource utilisation of hosts maximum application performance Use of any public or private cloud as the underlying infrastructure for Docker Hosts Deployment of existing Brooklyn/CAMP blueprints to Docker locations, without modification."

"Collection+JSON is a JSON-based read/write hypermedia-type designed to support management and querying of simple collections. It is similar to the The Atom Syndication Format (RFC4287) and the The Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC5023) . However, Collection+JSON defines both the format and the semantics in a single media type. It also includes support for Query Templates and expanded write support through the use of a Write Template."
