When your sort algorithm does more harm than good.   --- I've noticed an annoying trend lately from some of the designer fashion brands and major retailers.  No Sorting by price is allowed! A Sorting Algorithm is used to rearrange a given array or list of elements according to a comparison operator on the elements. The comparison operator is used to decide the new order of elements in the respective data structure. Sorting allows users to rearrange products so that those of most interest are at the top of product list.  Allowing users to sort by “Price”, “User Rating”, “Best-Selling”, and “Newest”. If I want to sort by price, why would a company purposely prevent me, the consumer, from browsing the goods in the order that I choose? And using a range sort is a lazy rationalization.  As a consumer, I will immediately exit a website if I cannot sort by price.    Tom Brokaw used to have an  occasional feature on NBC Nightly News called “ The Fleecing of America ". I consider the

Innovation is here - exciting time to be involved!  I attended a session @MicrosoftIgnite that showcased Content Intelligence - an automated Invoice-to-pay process using AI classification models and retraining based on feedback.  This invoice model was trained using thousands of samples to achieve a 70% efficiency without training. There was a detailed explanation of how failures are handled. One impressive aspect was the automatic rescan email request for failed documents.  #MSIgnite  #AI   More examples of machine learning: Automating tax documents processing with Azure Form Recognizer https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ai-applied-ai-blog/automating-tax-documents-processing-with-azure-form-recognizer/ba-p/3650168 

Online Scam sites are living their best life. I’m normally pretty good about identifying and avoiding these companies. However, my husband was tricked recently and received an uneven child sized monstrosity from China. He chalked it up to a lesson learned. Recently, as I’ve been researching ethical computing and online scammers, I’m finding my tolerance for these type of scammers is dwindling. I’m offended by these scammers infiltrating our markets and targeting Americans. All of the major players have allowed their platforms to be inundated with these bogus scam companies and innocent, unsuspecting people are the victims.  Google   AdSense sells these bogus companies ad space so that they infiltrate all of your social media apps with targeted ads, while Amazon allows these illegitimate scammers to setup storefronts with fake reviews to further scam consumers.  These scammers reinvent themselves with new domain names and store fronts, and rinse and repeat their scams to the tune of m

And like Glenn and his team, Keli and her team put in the extra effort to deliver exceptional value to the client. Apart from our everyday operations for the agency, LaDOTD and the Louisiana Office of Technology Services (OTS) partnered with Access Sciences to help facilitate LaDOTD’s move from IBM Content Manager 8.5 to IBM FileNet. Shermaine Haymer headed this feat as project manager, coordinating between all three parties to stay on track for a successful rollout. LaDOTD’s new content management system went live December 2021, making the agency’s move to IBM FileNet official and revealing a new array of benefits. As with any project, change management played an important role in facilitating the move to IBM FileNet. Sr. Records Analyst

  ♦ A  DevOps world! It's been said that Companies that incorporate DevOps practices get more done. With some practical insight and many years of working without DevOps, I can agree. It's not the work that changes but the impact of your work package that changes. Who sees your progress, how to measure progress and how to determine emerging trends in your product. These are all of the benefits I've personally experienced. Here's an overview for anyone who's just getting started.   Azure Dashboard custom status view: Key Benefits:   Traditionally, Dev and Ops never could see eye to eye. So, if you take a practical view, DevOps addresses the difficulties in bringing together people, process and technologies under one umbrella.  DevOps can help your organization accelerate application delivery and save time with automation and standardization.
