Quotes About Applications

In programming terms the piece of the operating system that sustained activity when all else failed was the kernel. It protected itself by imposing certain restrictions on applications, the most important being that only it, and never the applications, directed the hardware. The
~ G. Pascal Zachary
A kernel design had two main benefits. First, the kernel ensured reliability by allowing a user to keep other applications active or launch new ones even if one program accidentally halted. Second, the kernel made it possible for an operating system to display multiple personalities. Each operating-system personality called the kernel in order to issue commands to the computer.

~ Pedro Reyes
Take any old classification problem where you have a lot of data, and it's going to be solved by deep learning. There's going to be thousands of applications of deep learning.
~ Geoffrey Hinton
Peace is bad for business. When the former Soviet Union fell apart, the U.S. defense industry was staring into the face of a falling market share: To grow, it would have to find a new enemy. It would also help if it expanded its product line from building fighter jets to the newfangled demand for applications involving surveillance.
~ Naomi Wolf
DeFi is fundamentally a competitive marketplace of decentralized financial applications that function as various financial "primitives" such as exchange, save, lend, and tokenize. These applications benefit from the network effects of combining and recombining DeFi products and attracting increasingly more market share from the traditional financial ecosystem.
~ Campbell R. Harvey
In the context of smart contract platforms, an oracle is any data source for reporting information external to the blockchain.

Many applications require an oracle, and the implementations exhibit varying degrees of centralization.
~ Campbell R. Harvey
a 'change' is any activity that is physical, logical, or virtual to applications, databases, operating systems, networks, or hardware that could impact services being delivered.
~ Gene Kim
So much about DevOps is counter intuitive, contrary to common practice, and even controversial. If production deployments are problematic, how on earth can deploying more frequently be a good idea? How can reducing the number of controls actually increase the security of our applications and environments? And can technology really learn anything from manufacturing?
~ Gene Kim
we must ensure that the applications we build and operate are creating sufficient telemetry.
~ Gene Kim
I'm pretty sure we don't do any sort of analysis of capacity and demand before we accept work. Which means we're always scrambling, having to take shortcuts, which means more fragile applications in production.
~ Gene Kim
change' is any activity that is physical, logical, or virtual to applications, databases, operating systems, networks, or hardware that could impact services being delivered.

~ John Fowler
opportunity for new entrants is to fully embrace the potential of Web 2.0. Companies that succeed will create applications that learn from
~ Tim O'Reilly
of those buzzword-addicted startups are definitely not Web 2.0, while some of the applications we identified as Web 2.0, like Napster and BitTorrent, are not even properly web applications!) We began trying to tease out the principles that are demonstrated in one way or another by the success stories of web 1.0 and by the most interesting of the new
