The Importance of an Online Portfolio for Programmers (and How To Make One)
Programmers and web developers especially need to have an online portfolio ready for future employers or potential clients to see. Even if your work doesn’t really fall under the “creative” category, you can still build a portfolio and draw benefits from it in a similar manner.
There may not be pictures and videos that you could share, but there can be a whole plethora of other material that you can display on your portfolio website. This includes links and photos of websites and applications you’ve created or assisted on, case studies on the various projects you’ve undertaken, research reports, presentations, certifications, etc.
In this post, I’ll show you why an e-portfolio is important, what it can do for you professionally, and how you can start the process of setting one up today.

Computational storage: What is it and what are its key use cases?
Computational storage brings the CPU to the storage and so boosts system performance by tackling processing tasks, such as near the edge or in AI/machine learning workloads
What is chaos engineering?
Chaos engineering is the process of testing a distributed computing system to ensure that it can withstand unexpected disruptions. It relies on concepts underlying chaos theory, which focus on random and unpredictable behavior. The goal of chaos engineering is to identify weakness in a system through controlled experiments that introduce random and unpredictable behavior.
A main benefit of chaos engineering is that organizations can use it to identify vulnerabilities before a hacker does or before a system failure. Changes made as a result of chaos engineering testing increase confidence in an organization's systems.
Some IT groups hold chaos engineering game days where teams try to break or breach systems. They use failure mode and effective analysis or other tactics to get insight into potential points of failure in their organization's systems.

What is NoSQL and How do NoSQL Databases Work?
NoSQL is an approach to database management that can accommodate a wide variety of data models, including key-value, document, columnar and graph formats. A NoSQL database generally means that it is non-relational, distributed, flexible and scalable. Additional common NoSQL database features include the lack of a database schema, data clustering, replication support and eventual consistency, as opposed to the typical ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability) transaction consistency of relational and SQL databases. Many NoSQL database systems are also open source.
The term NoSQL originally could be taken at its word -- that is, SQL was not used as the API to access data. However, the ubiquity and usefulness of SQL caused many NoSQL databases to add support for SQL. Today it is commonly accepted that NoSQL stands for "Not Only SQL."

20 keys to a successful enterprise data protection strategy

The Billion-Year Archive project: A post-apocalyptic disaster recovery plan
We live in perilous times, and increasingly depend on digital technology to preserve our access to knowledge, as our human read/write memories inevitably fade. Yet the digital storage technologies on which datacentres rely have notorious weaknesses. Software environments and file formats quickly become obsolete. Hard drives fail and flash loses data; LTO tapes have a 30 year life span; even archive discs only last 50.
US non-profit the Arch Mission Foundation (AMF), billed as civilisation’s backup plan, the initiative ultimately seeks to build an interplanetary cloud for apocalypse-level disaster recovery, with distributed data repositories on Earth, the moon, near-Earth asteroids, orbiting the sun, and other places in the solar system.

Overcoming Procrastination
Have you noticed that you put things off more during the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, you are not alone.
When COVID-19 emerged, people did not have time to adjust to the new lifestyle and process it. As a result of abrupt changes regarding how people live their lives gave rise, COVID-19 paved the way for mental health crises—increased stress, anxiety and depressed mood—which over time may increase the risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity. To compound matters, when people are fearful, stressed or depressed, they are more likely to procrastinate, and delay or postpone tasks and assignments.
But what exactly happens when you procrastinate?
