In the last post we covered the industry shift towards ARM machines for both local and production software engineering. Last time we learned how to create Docker images that would work on multiple architectures for dev machines. Now we want to take this portability and leverage it for cost savings in production. You may be able to transition some of your services into multi-architecture builds.

Modern engineering and product teams feel the pressure to accelerate the feedback loop to developers, shorten release cycles, and deliver high-quality results quickly. For many, fusing manual strategies with automated software testing services is part of the solution to ensure consistency and immediate test execution. We agree!

Ask any executive if they know what’s going on in their call center, and they’ll assure you they are in control and they know what’s going on. (Executives are always in control and always know what is going on, or so they say.)

Press the executive a little more: "What are your customers actually saying?

Growing concerns surrounding medical device security are increasing across the globe.

On June 8, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bill, H.R. 7667, which in addition to several other items, is meant to address the cybersecurity of medical devices.

Data visualization involves visually imparting information to communicate complex data. Graphics such as charts help simplify data so more people can understand the insights embedded within a dashboard or report. Businesses use data visualizations to find and highlight patterns and trends in big data sets, with many data visualization examples available today, including graphs, maps and plots to help others grasp data conveniently.

ESG reporting is rapidly becoming a key focus area for finance teams around the world. ESG stands for “environmental, social, and governance.” It’s a set of standards through which companies can report metrics that indicate how well their activities align with issues of environmental stewardship and social issues. In late 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) announced the creation of a new ESG reporting standard.

The psycopg2.errors.UniqueViolation is an error thrown by the when a user attempts to insert a duplicate key value. In an SQL or SQL-like database a key value is defined when a table is created. This key value is then used to reference specific rows of the table. In order to make calls to these rows unambiguous, this key value must be unique for every row. Any attempt to insert a new row which has a value in the key field that already exists in the table cannot be completed.

The Javascript ReferenceError occurs when referencing a variable that does not exist or has not yet been initialized in the current scope. The ReferenceError: event is not defined usually occurs while using an event handler if the event parameter is either not declared or declared incorrectly. For example, if on an onclick event, the handler does not declare the event parameter, this error is thrown.
