PostgreSQL is an open source multi-purpose relational database system which is widely used throughout the world. It is one huge system with the integrated subsystems, each of which has a particular complex feature and works with each other cooperatively. Although understanding of the internal mechanism is crucial for both administration and integration using PostgreSQL, its hugeness and complexity prevent it.

So why did Aadhar engage with MongoDB in the first place and will it continue working with the startup? Sudhir Narayana, assistant director general at Aadhar's technology center, told me that MongoDB was among several database products, apart from MySQL, Hadoop and HBase, originally procured for running the database search. Unlike MySQL, which could only store demographic data, MongoDB was able to store pictures. However, Aadhar has been slowly shifting most of its database related work to MySQL, after realizing that MongoDB was not being able to cope with massive chunks of data, millions of packets.

"It's what the movie studios want for their products, it's what professional writers want for their work, it's what newspapers want - hell, it's what everyone wants: attention. Attention is power."

I prefer to write happy posts...I really do. But tonight I'm completely defeated by the JDK's implementation of subprocess launching, and I need to tell the world why. JRuby has always strived to mimic MRI's behavior as much as possible, which in many cases has meant we need to route around the JDK to get at true POSIX APIs and behaviors.

ten blogpost je o niecom uplne inom (mikroformatoch), ale je tam zaujimavy kapitolka o tom, ze sa im email ako nastroj na vymenu informacii a brainstorming neosvedcil: Perhaps the most important is that as a community we are far more efficiently productive using just IRC and the wiki, than any amount of use of email. In fact, the microformats drafts that were developed wtih the most email (e.g. hAudio) turned out to be the hardest to follow and discuss (too many long emails), and sadly ended up lacking the simplicity that real world publishers wanted (e.g. last.fm).

AMERICAN AND BRITISH spies hacked into the internal computer network of the largest manufacturer of SIM cards in the world, stealing encryption keys used to protect the privacy of cellphone communications across the globe, according to top-secret documents provided to The Intercept by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The company targeted by the intelligence agencies, Gemalto, is a multinational firm incorporated in the Netherlands that makes the chips used in mobile phones and next-generation credit cards.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) zahájilo nový projekt, v jehož rámci se bude pracovat na standardizaci alternativních metod autentizace - tedy jiných, než téměř všude používaných hesel. Na projektu bude spolupracovat FIDO Alliance, která se o něco podobného snaží už skoro tři roky a která má víc než dvě stě členů. Nechybí mezi nimi velké technologické nebo finanční společnosti. Asociace už připravila návrh API FIDO 2.0, který se v rámci W3C bude podrobněji zkoumat a připomínkovat. Mezi nejatraktivnější alternativní metody v současnosti patří hlavně autentizace pomocí otisků prstů.
