Recently, at Sovrn, we had an AI Hackathon where we were encouraged to experiment with anything related to machine learning. The Hackathon yielded some fantastic projects from across the company. Everything from SQL query generators to chatbots that can answer questions about our products and other incredible work. I thought this would be a great […]
There’s a problem with those thousands of jobs available for Full Stack Engineers or Developers on LinkedIn, like a unicorn, that person isn’t real. Insert spit-take, read it, then tell me what you think. Photo by Paul Bill on Unsplash There I said it, you might think this is a controversial or unpopular opinion but […]
While Python doesn’t have a built-in data structure explicitly called a “hash table”, it provides the dictionary, which is a form of a hash table. Python dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs, where the key is unique and holds a corresponding value. Thanks to a process known as “hashing”, dictionaries enable efficient retrieval, addition, […]
Philip Griffiths of OpenZiti explains to Doc Searls, Shawn Powers, and Jonathan Bennett how OpenZiti is on its way to becoming the Linux of secure networking. An overview of OpenZiti and how it implements zero trust principles by putting private networks inside applications. How OpenZiti functions similarly to a VPN. OpenZiti’s security and how it […]
From storing simple integers to managing complex workflows, data structures lay the groundwork for robust applications. Among them, the queue often emerges as both intriguing and ubiquitous. Think about it – a line at the bank, waiting for your turn at a fast-food counter, or buffering tasks in a computer system — all these scenarios […]
At its core, a stack is a linear data structure that follows the LIFO (Last In First Out) principle. Think of it as a stack of plates in a cafeteria; you only take the plate that’s on top, and when placing a new plate, it goes to the top of the stack. The last element […]

In the realm of database offerings, where data is the lifeblood of modern businesses, constructing resilient systems isn’t just a best practice; it’s a strategic imperative. Disaster recovery planning has become a cornerstone in ensuring the continuity of operations, safeguarding valuable data, and minimizing the impact of unexpected events. This article delves into the critical […]
Linear Search, also known as Sequential Search, operates by traversing through the dataset, element by element until the desired item is found or the algorithm reaches the end of the collection. Its simplicity and ease of implementation make it a go-to choice for small datasets and lists where items are added or removed frequently. While […]
