In an era of digital transformation, automation is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Industrial environments, once resistant to rapid technological change, are now embracing automation to streamline operations, reduce errors and enhance productivity. At the heart of this shift lies DevOps: A methodology that fosters collaboration, accelerates deployment and enables continuous improvement. DevOps methodologies are driving boundless automation in traditionally complex operational technology (OT) settings. From manufacturing to utilities and logistics, DevOps professionals are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between software and machines, transforming industrial workflows through smarter, more integrated systems. The Role of DevOps in Industrial Automation DevOps…

Redgate has updated its Flyway platform for applying DevOps workflows to database platforms to now provide deeper integration into command line interface (CLI) tools and integrated developer environments (IDEs).In addition, the Flyway platform now enables state-based deployments using scripts that can be generated based on a specific schema.Finally, Redgate is also adding options that enable DevOps teams to choose whether they want to include backups as baselines, automate the backup process altogether or never allow any type of shadow database.Max Drobert, group product manager at Redgate, said these latest additions are intended to make it simpler for software engineering teams…
Welcome to the May edition of PHP Annotated! It’s been a minute since the last edition. Turns out time flies when you’re deep in foundation work, and the occasional existential debugging session. But we are back. Here’s everything you might’ve missed in the PHP world, we dug through the noise so you can just enjoy the highlights. Highlights Join PHPverse to Celebrate 30 Years of PHP! PHP is turning 30 this year! 🎉 PHPverse is a free online event hosted by JetBrains to mark this amazing milestone together. Register📅 June 17, 2025🕚 11:30–16:30 UTC And if you’re feeling nostalgic, check…
I read Brent’s first look at SSMS and Copilot in there. He didn’t have a great opinion of the tool, especially comparing it to Gemini or Claude. I haven’t tested this yet, mostly because I’ve got other stuff going on, but I decided to take his prompt and the code and drop it into the dedicated Copilot App on my Windows 11 laptop. This is part of a series of experiments with AI systems.I have a button that starts Copilot, so I pressed it and put in this prompt:This was copied from Brent’s post, and then his code copied and…
Today, APIs have become the foundation of digital innovations around the world. APIs, being the weakest part of your IT infrastructure, are often susceptible to cyberattacks. As product delivery is hastened by the continuous rise of agile development practices, traditional security models fall short of expectations. This is the reason the shift-left approach to API security testing is now gaining traction. Agile enterprises can achieve a perfect balance between speed and safety by moving security testing earlier in their development lifecycle. Shift-left API security testing is more than a mere development trend; it’s also a strategic business decision. It reduces risk,…
New Relic this week made available a preview of an integration with the artificial intelligence (AI) agents it created for its observability platform with the AI agents that GitHub has developed.Nic Benders, chief technical strategist for New Relic, said AI agents that the company has developed will now be able to create an issue that GitHub Copilot will be able to use to improve an application. GitHub Copilot will analyze the issue, draft a fix, and submit a draft pull request for human review. The New Relic platform will then validate the change once it is merged.In effect, the New…

Harness today revealed it has developed a model context protocol (MCP) server through which it will be able to provide more context to artificial intelligence (AI) tools, agents and platforms that are being used to build software.Rohan Gupta, a principal product manager for continuous delivery and AI DevOps for Harness, said exposing the data residing in the Harness continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform will streamline workflows by eliminating the need to rely on custom plug-ins and application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide additional context about the application development environments where code is ultimately deployed.Originally developed by Anthropic, MCP is based…
SciPy’s linear algebra module (scipy.linalg) provides optimized implementations of fundamental linear algebra operations through BLAS and LAPACK libraries, offering better performance and more specialized functions than numpy.linalg for most scientific computing tasks. Version 1.15.3 delivers comprehensive matrix operations, decompositions, eigenvalue solvers, and specialized matrix functions that extend beyond NumPy’s capabilities.Why Choose scipy.linalg Over numpy.linalgPerformance testing consistently shows scipy.linalg functions running 5-10% faster than their numpy.linalg counterparts across different BLAS implementations (MKL, ACML, OpenBLAS). While numpy.linalg offers better broadcasting support for “stacked” arrays, scipy.linalg provides specialized functions like LU decomposition, Schur decomposition, matrix transcendentals, and multiple pseudoinverse calculation methods that aren’t…
Let’s say you’ve got a set of static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc) that build your website. Perhaps it’s your portfolio website, thanks to having taken Jen Kramer’s course Web Development Project: Personal Portfolio Website, for example, but it could be anything. Hey, what do you know, I’ve got some static files that make a nice personal portfolio page right here. We’ve covered the very fastest way to get those files turned into a deployed website on the internet already, using Netlify’s tool. That totally works, but we can take things a little further to make things easier on…
