Speed Up Insight-sharing Using CI/CD ToolsPhoto by Matthew Brodeur on UnsplashData scientists and analysts are valuable resources in many organisations. They spend most of the time understanding the business requirements and finding insights through data collection, wrangling, cleaning, and modelling. The tools that support such data specialists are abundant, e.g., notebooks like Jupiter and Colab, Python or R libraries and other data technologies.On the other hand, when it comes to sharing essential findings and valuable…

All of that seemingly smooth cross-communication is easier said than done. That's why Linux software engineer, Linus Torvalds, thinks of Git as his other great invention. Git is free, open-source (publicly accessible), and fast. It also works better than its predecessors, such as Apache Subversion, Concurrent Versions System (CVS), Perforce, and Rational ClearCase. So, there's a reason why so many VCS services have "Git" in their names.  All of that seemingly smooth cross-communication is easier said…

Programming languages are quite essential to the core development and growth of the software development domain The rising importance of the software development industry has been possible because of the avant-garde programming languages that modern developers use. Nowadays, the top programming languages have turned into the core framework for software development. Currently, it is quite important for emerging tech professionals to have a solid understanding of programming languages to pursue a technological…

GitHub Copilot has been introduced to make coding on the platform easier. It is an “AI pair programmer” that suggests whole lines of code or entire functions based on how you code and what you are working on. GitHub Copilot is in a limited technical preview as of now, so the slots to enrol are limited. The preview works well with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Go, but the final version will work with a broader set of frameworks and languages.Chief Executive Officer of GitHub, Nat Friedman, shared through a…

GitHub has released a study showing that its recently released Copilot code completion tool really does correlate with improved developer productivity. GitHub Copilot, an AI pair-programming service, was made generally available a month ago at a cost of $10 per user per month or $100 per user per year. It's an extension to Microsoft's Visual Studio Code editor that suggests to developers code that they can accept, reject or edit. The code suggestions are generated by the natural language AI model based on OpenAI's Codex,…

These Python frameworks provide efficiency and ease whole conducting operations The importance of Python has grown intensely in the web development community. The role of Python frameworks in web development can include sending to and from servers, processing data and communicating with databases, URL routing, and ensuring security. Python offers several frameworks for web development. The programming language is not only meant for programmers and data scientists, but it also opens new possibilities for other…

The company’s AI team released a blog…

This article is part of our series that explores the business of artificial intelligence Since GPT-2, there has been much excitement around the applications of large language models. And in the past few years, we’ve seen LLMs used for many exciting tasks, such as writing articles, designing websites, creating images, and even writing code. But as I have argued before, there’s a wide gap between showing a new technology do something cool and using the same technology to create a successful…

GitHub is going to crack down on software vulnerabilities and improve security at one of the most widely used sites in software development Thomas Dohmke, GitHub CEO feels like everyone should get rid of passwords. GitHub is open-source software that has been facing cybersecurity issues for years, and GitHub and other companies in the space have been taking steps to bolster security. Dohmke knows, however, that getting to the root of the industrywide problem will take more than just corporate action: It will…

New Delhi, Software Freedom Conservancy, a US-based nonprofit organisation, has called on the developer community to shun Microsoft-owned open source repository GitHub that now aims to make money with its commercial, for-profit product called "Copilot".Software Freedom Conservancy, which is backed by Google, Red Hat and Mozilla, said that it has also ended all its own uses of GitHub, and announced a long-term plan to assist Fully Free and Open Source (FOSS) projects to migrate away from GitHub."While we will not mandate…
