That’s the idea behind this list. Quality tools and gadgets that do the job and will last. Everything – from the label printer to the utility knife – has been tested for months under real-world conditions.

Zhaojun told Apache on November 24, and a third party later informed the MIIT in a report on December 9, according to Reuters....

Among these notable changes are the fact that Comcast once again detected the downstream traffic on its networks is increasing at a faster rate than upstream traffic, with an 11% rise in downstream occurring during 2021, compared to only a 5% increase in upstream traffic. This could point at fewer students and employees working from home, using upstream-heavy apps like video chat solutions and making fewer cloud storage uploads. In a similar vein, Comcast also recorded peak usage times once again shifting towards the evening for home users....

Gato, as DeepMind’s program is called, was unveiled this week as a so-called multimodal program, one that can play video games, chat, write compositions, caption pictures, and control a robotic arm stacking blocks. It is one neural network that can work with multiple kinds of data to perform multiple kinds of tasks. “With a single set of weights, Gato can engage in dialogue, caption images, stack blocks with a real robot arm, outperform humans at playing Atari games, navigate in simulated 3D environments, follow instructions, and more,” write lead author Scott Reed and colleagues in their paper, “A Generalist Agent,” posted on the Arxiv preprint server....

One answer to the problem is good documentation, providing developers with regularly updated information, delivering that as part of the build process for a library or for an API. If documentation isn’t ready, then a build must fail; code should never be released without documentation. SEE: How to build a successful developer career (free PDF) Another is delivering self-paced training, embedding coding tools and test suites into training programs. That’s the approach taken by services like Microsoft Learn, using its documentation as a source of training but offering in-line code scratchpads where you can try out what you’ve just learnt....

1. Digital fluency First and foremost, workers need to possess a basic level of digital fluency in order to successfully implement digital transformation. Depending on the industry, digital fluency can range from a basic knowledge of Microsoft Suite to an understanding of cloud computing. This necessity of this skill is company-wide; Harvard Business School Professor Tsedel Neeley points out that digital fluency adheres to a basic tenet of linguistics. “I often reference the 30% rule; borrowed from the study of languages, when applied to digital fluency, it dictates that the entire company needs to be, at least, at a 30% fluency baseline in order to move in a new digital direction effectively....
