Such policies would be designed to mitigate legal problems and require regulatory compliance. That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. How will AI adopters react when the cost of renting infrastructure from AWS, Microsoft, or Google rises? of nonusers.

This lack of transparency is by design and provides Apple deniability while simultaneously setting low expectations, making them easier to exceed. A 2017 attempt to revive it was shot down in 2018 by Apple engineers without evidence or data. However, aside from the reading of tea leaves, there's no way to know if work is progressing.

There are several emerging data trends that will define the future of ETL in 2018. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. Leveraging the recent hardware advances. Common in-memory data interfaces. More details on this approach.

This post was originally published in July 2018 and was updated in July 2023. Understanding DBaaS DBaaS cloud services allow users to use databases without configuring physical hardware and infrastructure or installing software. This eliminates the need for complex or scripted backup procedures and designated backup windows.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Engineering is the discipline of designing solutions under specific constraints. So what did $650, give or take, buy in late 2017 or early 2018?

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version. 5G looks set to continue a bumpy rollout for the next half-decade. Mind The Gap.

I work at Google, making Chrome, for Windows, focused on performance. This is because many Windows locks are, by design, not fair and if a thread releases a lock and then tries to reacquire it immediately then it can, in cases like this, reacquire it every single time. Well that’s funny …. Investigating this hang was actually my job.

Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Add onto that the yawning chasm between low-end and high-end device performance thanks to chip design factors like cache sizes, and it can be difficult to know where to set a device baseline. 75% of of connections occur on either 2G or 3G.
