So Big Data

… a different perspective.

We are fortunate to see the technological change (limiting myself to software) in front of our eyes. It's so wonderful that each change in technology brings with it sophistication and features, and which in turn help the developer community to transform an idea into reality.

On the other hand these technologies/framework also has a name, and when you hear it for the first time in your wildest guess you will not understand what it's all about. "Pascal" it sounds like a name, "Cobol", "Foxpro"; well not sure what these can be and out of the many terms, the best of the lot is "C"; it's not even a word. This trend didn't change with today's languages and technologies as well. "Java", "C#", "Cocoa" to name a few. And according to me we also have a contender here too, "Ruby on Rails", it sounds like a story.

There can be others, but for the first time we can hear a buzz called "Big Data". And to our surprise you do not have to wonder with the query "Now, what's this new baby?". It talks about huge, big, simply lots of data and it's name speaks the same.

The closest I could dare to explain "Big Data" would be "It's a datset so big and complex that it becomes difficult to process, analyse, visualise using available database management tools"

This data originates from many sources including the digital footprints of each individual connected to the vast world by some means or the other. This majorly includes his/her interaction with TV, Mobile, Purchase Medium, Internet including likes/unlikes in social media domain and many more.

Companies has already started investing on "Big Data" by providing solutions to curb this problem. Microsoft with SQL Server 2012 and HDInsight is 100% Apache compatible "Hadoop" distribution. Also, IBM is doing significant work on this as well focussing on "volume", velocity" & "variety" of Big Data.

One thing for sure, whatever we do will all stay preserver for future,  to analyze and predict.

keep exploring ...

Frankly Frankenstein

Friends , it's utterly true that we want to progress but how much is too much is the small question in this big wide world. As technology tangents to a whole new level, each passing present profoundly preaches that what is done is a way too small and what's coming is the next best. As information become less informed to humans and more to robots it's quite a difficult phase that we humans are stepping into. As a part of the coder's life,  I live each new day writing scripts that would automate a thing or two. It's hay day for many like me but presumably, we are preparing an invisible workforce that surely would rise up and question our existence. So you may ask, it's early days of. AI. And it's a long way to go. So not to worry as you sip that coffee. It may sound more like a SciFi flick, but rest assured the future is closer than we think. With bots becoming commonplace, soon we will have "fleshless friends", who will know you before you ...

Me hungry very very

Hello friends, how is it going? Well I am back after a break. Today's topic is quite strange, but at the same time deals with a very common activity we humans do for a living " EAT ". I can see your eyebrows contracting in strange need of not going any further in this article. Well, but hold on, something interesting lies ahead. From my very early days I realised that I am a " foodie " ( very proud ). This is something that do not require any specific skill-set as such and solely depends on the creators of it. It also comes with the power of commenting hard on something which do not satisfy the taste buds or occasionally giving some expert tips on quantity of salt, pepper etc. But, today's article is not about discussing my life's smart choices but about a technology that for sure is going to change the very essence of food, it's preparation, and it's no less than a revolution. I know for the first time you are getting some interes...

equation of equality

It has been increasingly evident with time that the fight for equality is profoundly on. The roar rocks one with its reckless rebuke when either sex embarks on proving a point.  The society at large likes the notion of  " M = W " [ where ' M ' signifies 'man' and ' W ' being 'woman' ] The equation is simple and straight, but somewhere it remains un-understood and this failure to understand fuels for a greater unequal society, where respect trail rebellion. So, let's look back to the equation once again and this time with the intention of changing it a bit. The perception of equality doesn't lie in standing apart and comparing but it's more about standing together and working through life. So keeping this thought in mind the equation could be changed as: " MW = p " [here 'p' is constant and referred as 'partnership'] Everything that we accomplish in life is an individual part played to achie...
