The future of Open Source Software | OSS | HiTechNectar

Open Source is the term that refers to a software which is freely accessible for the public to study, modify and share. This term is often in use even outside the Tech boundaries.

The Future of Open Source Software Is Quiet Bright.

One of the many reasons is the cost and inability to customise or fix a problem in Proprietary software. Open Source to becoming a proven alternative in a variety of sectors and is moving up faster than a speeding bullet. Open source has always been a significant driver of innovation.

Google issues the source code for Android through the “Android Open Source Project”, permitting developers and end users to program and hand-out their versions of the operating system. However, every modified version is not compatible with the apps for Google’s official releases of Android.
Over the past few years the list has expanded to the field of cloud computing, AI (Artificial Intelligence), IoT (Internet Of Things) and even to many marketing software projects. Even in computing’s early days, developers & programmers used to share software. It was so to learn from each other and evolve the arena of computing. Open source software (OSS) is a prominent example of open collaboration.

Advantages of Open Source Software-

Open Source is mostly free of cost and is relatively easy to port and compress. It takes lesser hardware power to perform in comparison. Yes, Open source Softwares are cheap but still are high-quality software.
No proprietary lock-in or Vendor lock-in. Proprietaries have lack of portability, high license fees and un-customizable software. OSS generally have some simple licensing to do. You are free to install it as many times you want and from any location

How Does Natural Language Processing (NLP) help Chatbots?

NLP is an interesting tool that helps break down the semantics of natural language such as English, Spanish, German, etc. to individual words. It then deciphers the intent of the input using various combinations of these words and responds appropriately. This piece of technology has been put to use by many organizations across the globe, and you might not even understand when you are interacting with a machine because it seems very human-like, but is very efficient and there is a very minute lag in terms of responses. Quicker responses help keep customers happy with the speedy resolution of issues and hence eventually result in more business and a boost to the top line. Read More:

Google's New Launch : Flutter 1.0 | What is “Stable Cross-Platform”?

Cross-platform (CP) application development is in the limelight lately, and more so as Google announces Flutter 1.0. Many enterprises are now considering CP for developing any new product. Google finally unveiled a stable version of their cross-platform mobile app development – Flutter 1.0, Google’s UI toolkit, on 4th December 2018 at the Live event in London. Cross-Platform SDK Cross-platform development involves the use of a single codebase for creating software applications that can be deployed on multiple platforms. This is particularly put to use when companies wish to sell the same product for more than one software environment such as Windows, Android and iOS. Various advantages of using these SDKs are: Reusable code Convenience Maintainable code Cost-effective Market Reach Flutter 1.0 CP SDKs are particularly important as developing CP apps can be a total mess of non-native code. This is why Google has set out to create a CP SDK which can integrate smo...

Updating Microsoft Windows 10, with Redstone 6

New Builds are Out and Rolling-   17723  (Fast Ring) and  18204  (Skip Ahead). The two new builds are out in the sky of Windows 10. We see some of the changes in build 17723 of  Redstone 5 & 18204 of  19H1  ( Redstone 6 ) which presumably means 2019 first half of the year. Here, we will look at the latest build of the ‘Redstone 5’ 17723. 2 days ago i.e.,  July 25th 2018 was the new release date for the latest build of Redstone 5 range. As per the company’s typical release schedule, Redstone 5 is due to hit the  RTM  (release to manufacturer) status in September, and the public rollout should begin in October. Today, we will be discussing the build 17723 only. That is because the ‘Skip ahead Build’- 18204 has almost nothing new in it for us. Right now, they both are pretty much in the same level. Though it is said to be stable, Skip Ahead might have some issues. However, if you may want to opt- in, to Prepare your PC for Win...
