Cutting-edge cybersecurity firms are spotting bad actors and eradicating vulnerabilities ahead of time — If you haven’t been living under a rock in recent months, you won’t have escaped the flood of press about ChatGPT. For the first time in history, it seems, we’ve created a robot that looks and feels human. No slip-ups, no “sorry I didn’t get that,” no mechanic screeching. …

7- Accept frustration as a way of life — For some people, the glass is half empty. For others, it’s half full. And for some, the question is, How do I get this glass totally full again? This last category of people is what I call the problem-solvers. They’re neither optimists nor pessimists. They’re pragmatists. They walk around the…

4- Celebrate your failures more than your successes — Life consists of problems. I don’t mean that in a pessimistic way. But fact is that even the most privileged people among us face challenges every day. Challenges that must be overcome. A challenge overcome is a problem solved. You don’t need to have a Ph.D. to be able to…

AI-generated art by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion is just the tip of the iceberg — Ever since the rise of deepfakes, citizens and governments have gotten increasingly concerned about fake photos and videos. Everyone seemed to be in danger: people with the right to vote might be target of political disinformation campaigns using deepfakes; people in court might be unable to distinguish a false piece…

New research shows that humans and AI coders can be best buddies — If there’s one thing that most programmers are in love with, this thing is automation. Think about the sheer amount of tools out there which make this workflow easier and that deployment faster. It’s endless. Many of these tools claim that they’re revolutionary, and that they change the way we…

According to its creators, it reads like Ruby and runs like C — or faster — Learning a new programming language can open your mind in ways you never thought possible. Just like learning a new human language like Spanish or Mandarin, you learn to think with different words and structures. You tap into the cultures and communities of the speakers and learn how they see…

Whether you like Python, Java, or another language — you’ll probably need Kubernetes anyway — When you search for Kubernetes, the first five articles are almost exclusively aimed at total beginners. It makes some sense; most people would rather keep their interactions with Kubernetes short and focus on developing code instead. There might come a point, however, where you’re spending longer hours with Kubernetes than…

If they succeed, Python might have a bright long future after all — Python is slow. It’s one of the slowest programming languages that ever existed. If languages like C, C++, and Rust were hares, then Python wouldn’t even be a hedgehog. Python is a big old snail. I’m not saying this to throw shame on Python. Most developers don’t care whether their…

We’re all tired. It’s not a singular phenomenon at this point, it’s collective, and it’s constant. I don’t mean the political and economic abyss that society seems to be staring down every day. The news will always cover terrible politicians, climate change, diseases, famines, and war. That’s just the state…
