It is always a philosophical debate as to whether to use open source software in a regulated environment. Open source software is crowd sourced, and developers from all over the world contribute to packages that are later included in Operating System distributions.
I've covered several scientific packages in this space that generate
nice graphical representations of your data and work, but I've
not gone in the other direction much. So in this article, I cover
a popular image processing package called ImageJ.
The Big Data market is in a period of remarkable transition. If keeping tabs on
this dynamic sector is in your wheelhouse, Datamation has made your homework
easier by developing "Leading Big Data Companies", a report that provides "a
snapshot of a market sector in transition".
Once again, my friend and fellow Linux Journal club member Kris Occhipinti
introduced me to an awesome bit of software. This time, it's an open-source project that brings Linux-like package management to Windows! Don't
get me wrong; installing software on Windows isn't difficult,
but it's definitely more cumbersome than with Linux.
With software-free setup and operation, the new iStorage diskAshur group of
ultra-secure storage drives works across all operating systems, including Linux,
macOS, Android, Chrome, thin and zero clients, MS Windows and embedded systems.
We love it here when superheroes drop their cloak of invisibility, emerge from
stealth mode and reveal themselves to the world. Of course we do—it's
the geek in us! Manifold has just done exactly that, emerged from stealth mode
and is claiming to be the easiest way to find, buy and manage essential
developer services.
The Mirai botnet attack that enslaved poorly secured connected embedded
devices is yet another tangible example of the importance of security
before bringing your embedded devices online. A new strain of Mirai has
caused network outages to about a million Deutsche Telekom customers due
to poorly secured routers.
Several years ago, I wrote an article on using Elmer to solve complicated
physics problems. Elmer has progressed quite a bit since then, so I thought
it would be worth taking a fresh look at this simulation software.
