The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) on Thursday issued an advisory over multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe products that could help hackers infiltrate into computer systems.The bugs were reported in Adobe products like InDesign (along with earlier versions for Windows and macOS), InCopy, Illustrator, Bridge and Animate (and earlier versions for Windows and macOS)."Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe products which could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges, execute arbitrary…

A crash course on the best practices you need to ensure that everyone understands the code you write.Photo by Jerry Zhang on UnsplashA data scientist writing good code documentation is a lot like an engineer making sure that the pillars supporting a bridge can bear the weight of the bridge itself and the passengers that use it.Code documentation not only provides an idea of what the code does, but it also provides insight for other people into the coder’s thought process and why the code has to be written a certain…

After previously studying the phenomena of two sound waves in quantum liquids, scientists have now observed sound moving at two different speeds in a quantum gas.If you were somehow immersed in the three-dimensional gas used for this study, you would hear every sound twice: each individual sound carried by two different sound waves moving at two different speeds.  This is an important development in the field of superfluidity – fluids with no viscosity that can flow without any loss of energy.Remarkably, the behavior…

By Dr. Adaira Landry and Dr. Resa E. Lewiss 4 minuteReadHere is a common scene: A supervisor agrees to write your letter of recommendation with one condition—you draft it. Shocker. We, too, were surprised the first time this happened to us. We assumed these letters were blinded evaluations. But after deconstructing our initial unease with the secret handshake, wink-wink agreement, we found the rationale: Writing a good letter of recommendation requires an intimate and detailed knowledge of the person. Who better to write…

Decisiveness is about making calls quickly and efficiently – even if those choices aren't always the correct ones. A new study looked at the relationship between confidence and decisiveness, finding that decisive people tend to be more confident about the decisions they've made.  On the other end of the spectrum is indecision, a distinct inability to work out a way forward or to commit to a particular path. In the study, even if both groups had made the right choices, those who second-guess themselves were less confident…

Help others to follow your code easierPhoto by Artur Shamsutdinov on UnsplashAs programmers or a part of the tech field, we often need to read, analyze, and write code regularly. Some codes are easier to write and follow than others. The clearer the code, the faster it will be to understand, use and build on. The ability to write good code is an essential skill for any programmer or data scientist.But, one of the other important skills is writing good comments. Now, I know that if you master the art of writing readable…

My earliest reading memoryI remember lying in bed with my mother while she read picture books to me when I was three or four, but I think that’s probably an amalgam memory, since she did this every night. I also remember her reading aloud to the whole family while we drove cross-country. Bunnicula by James and Deobrah Howe, about a vampiric rabbit, and its sequel Howliday Inn were big hits.My favourite book growing upI loved slightly starchy, slightly exotic (to me), varyingly outdated children’s novels: The Westing Game…

Coding in Python is fun because there are many different ways to accomplish the same functionalities Programmers and developers can tap into a variety of languages to build applications, websites, and other programs. Ultimately, their preferred language will end up being the one with which they are the most comfortable and the one that gets the job done most effectively. But one particular language emerging at the top, among all the new programming languages, is Python. The list of programming languages is so…

There are many illnesses and injuries, including COVID-19, where the body struggles to get the amount of oxygen into the lungs necessary for survival.In severe cases, patients are put on a ventilator, but these machines are often scarce and can cause problems of their own, including infection and injury to the lungs.  Scientists may have now found a breakthrough, and it's one that that could significantly impact how ventilators are used. In addition to traditional mechanical ventilation, there's another technique called…
