The goal was to filter a list of hospitals based on the selected location. The location results from the API include coordinates, which I compared with the coordinates of the hospitals in my […]

In recent years, AI chatbots like ChatGPT have gone from fun tools for answering questions to serious helpers in workplaces, education, and even personal decision-making. With ChatGPT-5 now being the latest and most advanced version, it’s no surprise that people are asking a critical question: “Is my personal data safe when I use ChatGPT-5?” First, […]

In modern enterprise systems, stability and fault tolerance are not optional; they are essential. One proven approach to ensure robustness is the Circuit Breaker pattern, widely used in API development to prevent cascading failures. HCL Commerce takes this principle further by embedding circuit breakers into its HCL Cache to effectively manage Redis failures.  What Is […]

Ready to go from “meh” to “whoa” with your AI coding assistant? Here’s how to get started. You’ve installed GitHub Copilot. Now what? Here’s how to actually get it to work for you – not just with you. In the blog Using GitHub Copilot in VS Code, we have already seen how to use GitHub […]

Machine Learning (ML) is no longer limited to research labs — it’s actively driving decisions in real estate, finance, healthcare, and more. But deploying and managing ML models in production is a different ballgame. That’s where MLOps comes in. In this blog, we’ll walk through a practical MLOps learning project — building a House Price […]

Let’s be honest – coding isn’t always easy. Some days, you’re laser-focused, knocking out feature after feature. Other days, you stare at your screen, wondering, “What’s the fastest way to write this function?” “Is there a cleaner way to loop through this data?” That’s where GitHub Copilot comes in. If you haven’t tried it yet, […]
