Thanks, guy. Developers are in short supply. Here are the skills and programming languages employers need This isn’t the first time a developer deliberately sabotaged their own open-source code. Back in 2016, Azer Koçulu deleted a 17-line npm package called ’left-pad, ‘which killed thousands of Node.js programs that relied on it to function. Both then and now the actual code was trivial, but because it’s used in so many other programs its effects were far greater than users would ever have expected....

“AI systems must be carefully designed to reflect the diversity of socioeconomic and health-care settings and be accompanied by training in digital skills, community engagement, and awareness-raising. Systems based primarily on data of individuals in high-income countries may not perform well for individuals in low- and middle-income settings,” WHO wrote in its Ethics and governance of artificial intelligence for health (PDF) report. “Country investments in AI and the supporting infrastructure should therefore help to build effective health-care systems by avoiding AI that encodes biases that are detrimental to equitable provision of and access to healthcare services....

With these advances, many more people are choosing credit over cash. In fact, there were 44.7 billion credit card payments in the United States worth $4.0 trillion in 2018 – an increase of 11 billion payment and $930 billion since 2015, according to The Federal Reserve Payments Study 2019. On the whole, the study found that credit card payments grew at an annual rate of 9.9% by number and 9....

So where’s the competitive advantage in IT? Turn to DevOps, which organizes software development and delivery into rapid delivery to the business, can actually help organizations differentiate themselves from the competition. This comes at the urging of Nicole Forsgren and Jez Humble, both with DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) in a timeless podcast hosted by Andreessen Horowitz. “It seems obvious – developing and delivering software with speed and stability drives things like profitability, productivity, market share,” says Forsgren....

In terms of concept, it’s brilliant. If a user owns both a Mac and an iPad, why not use that iPad screen to support the Mac? When I did my big hurricane-escaping move across country in 2017, I traveled with my MacBook Pro and my iPad. Every night when we stopped at a new hotel, I went down into the lobby and did my work day (at night). I used the Mac, but I also used the iPad as a second screen, looking things up in Safari on the iPad as a reference for what I was writing....

Take the example of one IT leader who I spoke with recently: “We’re pushing the boundaries in other areas, such as artificial intelligence, but Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not on our radar at the moment.” While the use of some emerging technologies – such as using the cloud to help people collaborate or using big data to run analytics – can often be related to a clear business case, the most obvious use of cryptocurrencies – paying for goods and services – still isn’t as widespread as many observers might have anticipated when Bitcoin launched in 2009....

In a recent blog post, ZDNet’s Jason Perlow suggested that the main obstacle to Windows on Arm is the hardware. If only the hardware were available, we could have a great experience because the software and developer tools are ready. This is simply not true when you consider the state of developer tools on Windows for Arm. Microsoft’s official developer toolchain is quite bad on Arm. Microsoft doesn’t provide Arm versions of Visual Studio, VS Build Tools, or even just Microsoft Visual C++; they expect Arm developers to cross-compile C++ software on an x86 host or emulate x86 software....

The controller bar is the headline feature update in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22616 for the Dev and Beta Channels for Windows Insiders, which also comes with numerous bug fixes. The bar is a preview of a new view of Xbox Game Bar that opens when users pair or connect an Xbox controller to a PC. The bar displays a row of icons for up to three games the user has recently played on a local device as well as installed game launchers....

The company’s developer tools come as Apple’s App Store and monetization sharing are under fire from players like Epic Games. Apple noted it has paid $230 billion to developers and is adding App Store features that will give more marketing tools to creators. Details about the developer tools will be outlined in WWDC 2021 sessions this week, but Apple highlighted the following. Object Capture, which enables all developers to create 3D objects within minutes from 2D photos....

Apple is taking a hybrid approach to this year’s event. Instead of inviting thousands of developers from around the world, as was the case pre-COVID, the company held a lottery. Developers who won the lottery have the option to travel to Apple’s offices and attend the conference in person. For those who aren’t making the trip, you’ll be able to tune in remotely, watching one of the over 150 sessions that will be posted starting June 7 on the Apple Developer website and in the Apple Developer app....

Discovered by Bishop Fox security consultant Chris Davis and publicly disclosed on Wednesday, the bug, tracked as CVE-2021-28114, impacts Froala version 3.2.6 and earlier. Froala is a lightweight What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) HTML rich text editor for developers and content creators. Wappalyzer estimates that Froala is in use by approximately 30,000 web domains. According to Bishop Fox, the WYSIWYG editor contains a security flaw in its HTML sanitization parsing protocol, allowing attackers to bypass existing XSS protections....

You can add external storage via a USB port on the console, but you’re going to run into performance hiccups due to the speed of the connection and drives. Instead of adding external storage, you can add another SSD to your PS5 using the built-in and empty SSD slot, which should help alleviate any performance issues. Also: The best PS5 external hard drives for storing all your games Below I’ll walk you through what you’ll need and the steps you’ll take to install an SSD in your PlayStation, expanding your gaming storage....

The collaboration will bring embedded 5G Ultra Wideband connectivity to Audi’s US lineup, starting with select models for the 2024 model year. Verizon’s “Ultra Wideband” network uses high-band, ultra-wide millimeter wave spectrum to deliver high-speed 5G. That’s different from its “5G Nationwide” network, which leverages 5G and 4G. (Read more about the different “flavors” of 5G here). With this new deal, Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business said in a statement, “Audi drivers will be among the first in the world to experience a new generation of automobiles, one in which their car is both a 5G mobile device and a vehicle....

Zoom’s Q4 non-GAAP net income per share was $1.29. Fourth quarter total revenue was $1.071.4 billion, up 21% year-over-year. Analysts were expecting earnings of $1.05 per share on revenue of $1.05 billion. Zoom also said its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1 billion of Zoom’s outstanding Class A common stock. For the full fiscal year, Zoom’s non-GAAP net income per share was $5....

The FBI is seizing the 48 domains that facilitated DDoS attacks for paying customers against targeted computers. The DDoS attacks prevented the targeted computers from accessing the internet. According to the DoJ, the 48 websites were used to launch millions of DDoS attacks against victims around the world. The sites promoted themselves as a “stresser”, or a legitimate service to stress-test the customer’s network. But the FBI found this mechanism was a cover after viewing communications between the site administrators and customers, which indicated both parties were aware that the customer was not attempting to stress-test their own computers....

Verizon implemented what it describes as a “quantum-safe” VPN between one of the company’s labs in London in the UK and a US-based center in Ashburn, Virginia, using encryption keys that were generated thanks to post-quantum cryptography methods – meaning that they are robust enough to withstand attacks from a quantum computer. According to Verizon, the trial successfully demonstrated that it is possible to replace current security processes with protocols that are quantum-proof....

Now Razer is again breaking the mold for its refreshed Barracuda line of “hybrid gaming & street” headsets. Just like the Blackshark V2s before it, this line eschews design cues from its predecessors in favor of a style seen elsewhere: premium noise-canceling headphones from the likes of Sony, Bose, and other premium audio equipment makers. This shaped the Barracuda Pro I’m reviewing today into a strange mix of features that nails media consumption use cases while leaving behind core priorities the company is known for....

Researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have found that workers across multiple age brackets are sleeping more, pursuing more leisure activities, and cutting overall work hours. Using data from WFH Research’s American Time Use Survey (ATUS), as of June 2022, 15% of full-time employees work fully remote, while 55% are full-time at the office, and 30% work hybrid. “In the aggregate, Americans now spend 60 million fewer hours traveling to work each day,” David Dam, a former research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, explains in a blogpost....

The G30 is Wi-Fi enabled and is compatible with Alexa, so you can use the handy app to program vacuuming times or just ask Alexa to start cleaning your home. The app also programs your home with Smart Dynamic Navigation 2.0, a cool feature that implements a Z-shaped pathway instead of random pathing when cleaning. It also has Drop-proof Technology and an Anti-Collision Sensor to avoid large objects. When the vacuum powers on, it stays on for up to 100 minutes and only gets to a max of 56dB – arguably quieter than your dishwasher depending on your model....
