It's not magic, it just requires continuous, daily improvement at all levels.
The DevOps methodology has come of age in the past several years, and organizations are adopting key DevOps practices to transform their software practices.
Containers Will Not Fix Your Broken Culture (and Other Hard Truths)
Complex socio-technical systems are hard; film at 11.
Technical Perspective: Expressive Probabilistic Models and Scalable Method of Moments
The authors of "Learning Topic Models—Provably and Efficiently," developed a new method for fitting topic models and at large scale.
Building a Smart City: Lessons from Barcelona
Smart Internet-based infrastructure is one thing but will be ignored without the public's continuing engagement.
Lessons from Building Static Analysis Tools at Google
For a static analysis project to succeed, developers must feel they benefit from and enjoy using it.
Realizing the Potential of Data Science
Data science promises new insights, helping transform information into knowledge that can drive science and industry.
Learning Topic Models – Provably and Efficiently
This article shows that some new theoretical algorithms that have provable guarantees can be adapted to yield highly practical tools for topic modeling.
Chips for Artificial Intelligence
Companies are racing to develop hardware that more directly empowers deep learning.
Computational theorists prove there is no easy algorithm to find Nash equilibria, so game theory will have to look in new directions.
Two teams, blue and red, play a game in which Red has a submarine we call October, as in Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt for Red October.
Bootstrap World has developed online courses in programming, among other subjects, but what makes Bootstrap World so memorable for me is that the team has focused heavily on accessibility.

Utility is high, even though the translations may be limited.
What Went Wrong? Facebook and ‘Sharing’ Data with Cambridge Analytica
The road to the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal is strewn with failures.
Securing Threats to Election Systems
Election systems are supposed to be disconnected from the Internet, for obvious and sensible reasons. Most elections today, however, use computers.
Brain-Emulating Chips Get Smarter, Smaller, More Efficient
Neuromorphic chips manage "many cores" by connecting artificial neurons with artificial neurons, mirroring how human brains operate.
Time To End The vi/Emacs Debate
If you still use Emacs, I feel for you. Perhaps it is time to give vi a try.

Taking Radio Astronomy to the Next Level
After its latest upgrade, a radio telescope in Westerbork, the Netherlands, generates 3.7 terabits of data per second, an enormous data-stream that must be processed in real time.
Hackers’ Delight: Does Quantum Computing Spell the End for Encryption?
Today's stalwart encryption methods used to send data securely over the Internet are expected to be no match for the power of tomorrow's quantum computers.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
