For the two weeks that the Hackneys' baby girl lay in a Pittsburgh hospital bed weak from dehydration, her parents rarely left her side, sometimes sleeping on the fold-out sofa in the room. They stayed with their daughter around the clock when she was moved to a rehab center to regain her strength. Finally, the 8-month-old stopped batting away her bottles and started putting on weight again. "She was doing well and we started to ask when can she go home," Lauren Hackney said.

The words "hack" and "hacker" started in the same place in English language history, split in meaning to mean horse and a brutal action verb. Curiously, these two words were reunited 2000 years later in the world of silicon chips, code, and programming. According to one of the best English etymological dictionaries available anywhere, the word "hacker", with the sense of evil/good and brilliant computer programmer was born in the halls of the MIT. This fact alone reminds us that culture and words begin in actual places. At that time, to hack code, or hack out code, had a definitely negative connotation.

Machine learning software is set to transform the way IT professionals manage their infrastructures in large Australian organisations, by seeking out potential problems before they affect any single user, Bede Hackney, ANZ managing director at Nimble Storage, says. Machine learning replaces traditional IT systems that require constant monitoring of each component, which means technicians don't have to waste time working out where the fault is and forming a solution. According to Hackney, the'app-data gap' is the challenge IT management faces when gaps between application and data stores become a problem because of the many differing IT infrastructure components. "A major app-data gap can often disrupt data delivery, degrade worker productivity, create customer dissatisfaction and damage a company's overall speed of business. However, it can be difficult to quickly find a solution because the factors leading to application slowdowns can come from a range of issues across the infrastructure stack", Hackney says.
