Read and write files with Groovy | Opensource.com
Two common tasks that new programmers need to learn are how to read from and write to files stored on a computer. Some examples are when data and configuration files created in one application need to be read by another application, or when a third application needs to write info, warnings, and errors to a log file or to save its results for someone else to use.

A practical guide to using the git stash command
Version control is an inseparable part of software developers' daily lives. It's hard to imagine any team developing software without using a version control tool. It's equally difficult to envision any developer who hasn't worked with (or at least heard of) Git. In the 2018 Stackoverflow Developer Survey, 87.2% of the 74,298 participants use Git for version control.
Linus Torvalds created git in 2005 for developing the Linux kernel. This article walks through the git stash command and explores some useful options for stashing changes. It assumes you have basic familiarity with Git concepts and a good understanding of the working tree, staging area, and associated commands.

Why an Open Source GitOps Model Is the Future of DevOps
At its most basic level, GitOps is a development approach that uses a code version control system, often Git, as the basis for defining and controlling a DevOps workflow and synchronization across systems.

GCC 10.3 Release Candidate Arrives For Testing - Phoronix
While GCC 11 is seeing its first stable release in the form of GCC 11.1 in just a few short weeks, GCC 10.3 is imminent as the latest point release for those on the current GCC 10 stable series.
GCC 10.3 is a bug-fix release to last year's GCC 10 feature release. GCC 10.3 delivers on a half-year worth of bug fixes to this free software compiler. The GCC point releases tend to be mostly mundane but there are some back-ports worth mentioning like the AMD Zen 3 (znver3) tuning work and other hardware-specific target work but for the most part is largely just genuine compiler bug/regression fixes.

This popular code library is causing problems for hundreds of thousands of devs
A license incompatibility in an extensively used open source library has led to breaking the popular web development framework Ruby on Rails (RoR).
A developer pointed out his GPLv2 licensed code was being improperly used inside a MIT licensed Ruby library called mimemagic. The issue was quickly sorted by re-releasing mimemagic as GPLv2. To prevent further misuse mimemagic’s developer also yanked the older MIT licensed releases of the library.

Some opinionated thoughts on SQL databases
These opinions are derived from years of using and/or running SQL and other databases primarily as backends for web apps or web APIs. My experience is largely with these kinds of applications, which tend to have relatively predictable data access patterns, and care about low latency, high throughput, and some degree of high availability. I acknowledge that this is not the only purpose that SQL engines are used for, but it’s the one I have experience with and it’s a very common one these days.

How I Beat the Berlin Rental Market With a Python Script
I was able to do so because I was keenly aware of the specific characteristics of the neighborhood, because the house had changed price twice already (-7% first, and another -6% after that) and was unlikely to change the price again, and because it was very likely to be rented soon. I knew all of this thanks to a couple of predictive models and a few weekends of scraping real estate data.
This is how I did it.

Turing Award Goes to Creators of Computer Programming Building Blocks
On Wednesday, the Association for Computing Machinery, the world’s largest society of computing professionals, said Dr. Aho and Dr. Ullman would receive this year’s Turing Award for their work on the fundamental concepts that underpin computer programming languages. Given since 1966 and often called the Nobel Prize of computing, the Turing Award comes with a $1 million prize, which the two academics and longtime friends will split.
Dr. Aho and Dr. Ullman helped refine one of the key components of a computer: the “compiler” that takes in software programs written by humans and turns them into something computers can understand.
