Java, C, and C++ remain the most popular #programming languages in the world, according to the Tiobe Index for November 2017

According to their rankings, Java continues to remain the most popular programming language followed by C and C++. On the other hand, PYPL (PopularitY of Programming Language), which looks at the popularity of language tutorials on Google, shows Java as the most preferred programming language followed by Python and PHP. For those unaware, TIOBE calculates the rankings based on the number of search engine queries, which contain the name of the programming language as a keyword. Alternatively, PYPL uses the raw data from Google Trends to calculate the rankings, which is based on the more number of searches for a particular language tutorial, the more popular it is assumed to be. While Python continued to maintain its popularity, other scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, and Ruby have seen a decrease in their popularity. The reason behind this is the difficulty in writing a critical and large software system, which meets high-quality demands. “Even a scripting language su...

SURVIVING DEPRESSION

Depression is a side effect of life You can’t understand it Until you can not stand your own presence In an empty room. You feel like someone else deserved your life And not you And you’d kill to be someone else To be no one else. It’s when everything Seems to be exhausting you. No matter how much sleep you get Or how much coffee you drink Or how long you lie down, Something inside you Seems to have given up And you feel your soul is tired. It isn’t always at 3am Sometimes it hits you at 3pm When you are with your friends And you are halfway through a laugh. On some days You feel like you have been to hell Met Satan And given your soul away. It’s like drowning Except You can see everyone else around you breathing. There is no greater battle Thank the fight to keep your sanity The voices in your head need words Their stories need to be told Their screams need to be heard Their pain demands to be felt. Nothing fucks you up More than your own thought...

Sexual Purity

Source/ChristianityToday For the past two weeks God has been directing me on purity and i could not ignore his promptings  to pray for unmarried young men and women, to stay pure despite pressures from the world to fornicate which is OK! as per the worldly standards. I know someone reading this post will be like, even in church today, singles are sleeping around what difference does it make? Let me roll up my sleeves and pen down this post out of love I have for the body of Christ and my reverence I have for God. Most people have all manner of reasons to have sex outside the context of marriage, reasons which are all fueled by the flesh. Am not hear to judge or condemn anyone, am just a vessel to pen down with love the desire God has for us, to pursue purity as singles, trusting Him to walk down the aisle while still honoring our partners and Him at the same time. So, what is sexual purity??? It is the active choice to refrain from sexual activity outside the bonds of marr...

WhatsApp Improves Message Security with Two-Step Verification

WhatsApp is implementing a new two-step verification process to boost security for users. The optional security feature significantly increases the hurdles that a third-party would have to get over to break into a user’s account. The feature, which has been in testing since November, is rolling out in stages. To turn on two-step verification, users need to log in to WhatsApp, navigate to Settings, then Account and enable Two-step verification. If activated, users will need to enter a six-digit security code in addition to their phone number and text message or voice call verification. They will also be asked to enter their security code once every seven days. Should users forget their security code, they can register an email address with WhatsApp and use it to turn off two-step verification. WhatsApp said : “We do not verify this email address to confirm its accuracy. We highly recommend you provide an accurate email address so that you’re not locked out of your accoun...

TWITTER STEPS UP EFFORTS TO SILENCE TROLLS

Twitter on Tuesday announced yet another crackdown on abusers. With the goal of making Twitter a safer place, it has come up with new ways to Prevent the creation of new abusive accounts; Make search safer; and Collapse potentially abusive or low-quality tweets. Twitter also pledged to persist in its anti-abuse endeavors, saying it would keep rolling out product changes, some more visible than others, and updating users on its progress every step of the way.

Anonymous Hacker Pulls Plug on Thousands of Dark Net Sites

Twenty percent of the Dark Net was taken offline last week, when a hacker compromised a server hosting some 10,000 websites on the Tor network. Tor, designed to hide the identities of its users, is widely used on the Dark Web, which isn't indexed by mainstream search engines and serves as a hub for illegal online activities. Visitors to the affected pages were greeted with the message, "Hello, Freedom Hosting II, you've been hacked." Freedom Hosting II is the server that hosted the Tor pages. The attacker, who has claimed to be part of the hacker collective Anonymous, reportedly took Freedom Hosting II offline because 50 percent of its sites contained child pornography. The original Freedom Hosting sites hosted as much as 50 percent of the Dark Web's pages as of 2013, when it was taken down by law enforcement. A number of child porn prosecutions followed that action.. READ MORE HERE
