Java collections, such as arrays and lists, form the backbone of data storage and manipulation in many Java applications. While imperative programming techniques are often the default choice for interacting with these collections, functional programming offers an elegant and expressive alternative, especially when using the lambda features introduced in Java 8. In this article, we’ll explore how functional programming can be applied to Java collections, showcasing how streams and lambdas bring simplicity and efficiency to your code. When deciding between imperative and functional programming, it’s important to understand the strengths of both approaches. Imperative programming, which relies on loops like…

Google has officially released Go 1.23, bringing significant performance improvements and reduced build times, particularly for projects using profile-guided optimization (PGO).

The Linux Foundation’s decision to adopt the Open Model Initiative (OMI) could mark a significant shift toward the development of more ethical large language models (LLMs), according to industry analysts. By fostering an open and collaborative ecosystem, the initiative aims to establish ethical standards for AI model training, particularly in how data—including text and images—is sourced and utilized. This move is seen as a step toward greater transparency and fairness in AI development. Abhigyan Malik, practice director of data, analytics, and AI at the Everest Group, emphasized that one of OMI’s key goals is to ensure responsible data usage in…

Tauri 2.0, the Rust-based framework for building cross-platform desktop and mobile applications, has reached the release candidate stage. This major update shifts most of the core functionality from Tauri 1.x into plugins, allowing for greater modularity and flexibility. By decoupling these features from the core, Tauri developers can iterate on them independently, making it easier for new contributors to participate in feature development. Some essential functions remain within Tauri as pseudo plugins to ensure seamless integration. Under the new architecture, plugins must implement the Plugin Trait to qualify as official Tauri extensions. Any plugin prefixed with core: or named core…

The Steady Pace of Change in Enterprise Technology There’s often a sense of urgency in the tech world that if you’re not jumping on the latest trend, you’re bound to fall behind. A decade ago, cloud computing was the buzzword that promised to revolutionize everything. Today, generative AI is the hot topic. Yet, despite the overwhelming hype around these technologies, the reality is that change in enterprise IT is slow and incremental. While cloud computing has grown significantly, with AWS generating over $100 billion in revenue, a large portion of enterprise IT spending (about 90%) remains invested in on-premises infrastructure.…

Building Agile ETL Pipelines for Modern Business Needs In today’s data-driven world, businesses generate enormous volumes of data across various operations every day. Whether it’s customer transactions in retail outlets, sales opportunities recorded by field staff, or valuable communications exchanged via emails, organizations must find ways to aggregate and process this information to gain actionable insights. This scattered data needs to be extracted, transformed, and loaded (ETL) into centralized systems, where it can be organized and used for decision-making. ETL technologies have long been used to address these challenges by enabling businesses to extract data from multiple sources, transform it…
