Developers working with mature DevOps practices much more likely to enjoy their work

Enterprise software provider Sonatype has found a clear connection between DevOps and developer job satisfaction in its seventh annual DevSecOps Community Survey. According to its findings, developers working within mature DevOps practices are 1.5 times more likely to enjoy their work and 1.6 times at chance of recommending their employer to prospects.
The findings reveal that development velocity is quickly gaining momentum, with 55 per cent of respondents deploying code to production once every week at a minimum – compared to 47 per cent last year. And as the velocity increased on an annual basis, 47 per cent of developers acknowledged that they didn’t invest in security despite its importance.
Results show teams investing in automated security tools without additional time to spend on security. The automated security tools include open source governance (44 per cent), web application firewalls (59 per cent), and intrusion detection (42 per cent). The major differences in investment priorities between mature and immature solutions can be found across Container Security, with mature practices investing 2.2 times more than immature practices.
Last month, Sonatype further extended its language coverage with Nexus Lifecycle to include Conan (C/C++), Composer (PHP), and RubyGems (Ruby), including the ability to create and contextually enforce policies. Nexus Lifecycle helps millions of developers and security professionals to automatically govern open source hygiene across every phase of the software development lifecycle. The company’s software supply chain solution now supports 27 programming languages and package formats, further meeting the diverse needs of enterprise development teams.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

Open-source software tracks neural activity in real time

Image
The tool, called CaImAn, replaces the process of manually tracking the location and activity of neurons Tracking the firings of individual neurons is like trying to discern who is saying what in a football stadium full of screaming fans. Until recently, neuroscientists have had to tediously track each neuron by hand. "People spent more time analyzing their data to extract activity traces than actually collecting it," says Dmitri Chklovskii, who leads the neuroscience group at the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) at the Flatiron Institute in New York City. A breakthrough software tool called CaImAn automates this arduous process using a combination of standard computational methods and machine-learning techniques. In a paper published in the journal  eLife  in January, the software's creators demonstrate that CaImAn achieves near-human accuracy in detecting the locations of active neurons based on calcium imaging data. CaImAn (an abbreviation of c

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is im
