Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results 2016
Stack Overflow published the results of their developer survey for 2016. Over 50,000 participants from more than 170 countries answered the questions this time around. Some of the results are quite predictable, while others less so.
Latency numbers by year
Last year I came across a nice chart of latency numbers every programmer should know. Today, I saw this page, which shows you the same latency numbers, but also provides a timeline from 1990 to 2020.
For some operations, latency is constant, because it’s based on things of nature – speed of light, distance between continents, etc. For other operations, latency can be decreased through better technology and algorithms.
The timeline clearly shows the mind-blowing advance we’ve experienced in technology over the last three decades.
Falsehoods programmers believe about …
I thought I’ve posted some of these links a while back but alas I can’t find them in the archives. Maybe I just thought I did. So here they go with some new additions:
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Addresses
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Phone Numbers
- Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Geography
Even if you are not a programmer, these are useful to read through. It just shows how complex even the simplest of things are, and how much thought goes (or doesn’t) into computer programming.
AWS Database Migration Service
AWS Database Migration Service is yet another one of those tools that you always wished that somebody created, but never actually got to checking if it exists. Here is a recent blog post showcasing the functionality.
Do you currently store relational data in an on-premises Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL database? Would you like to move it to the AWS cloud with virtually no downtime so that you can take advantage of the scale, operational efficiency, and the multitude of data storage options that are available to you?
If so, the new AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is for you! First announced last fall at AWS re:Invent, our customers have already used it to migrate over 1,000 on-premises databases to AWS. You can move live, terabyte-scale databases to the cloud, with options to stick with your existing database platform or to upgrade to a new one that better matches your requirements. If you are migrating to a new database platform as part of your move to the cloud, the AWS Schema Conversion Tool will convert your schemas and stored procedures for use on the new platform.
