Following a recent decision by the Directorate of Defense of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to develop its cyber defence capabilities, a cooperation with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has been established to support the procurement of training capabilities in order to strengthen the talent of current and future cyber personnel by setting up a cyber range. The NSPA recently awarded Estonian cyber security company CybExer Technologies with a three-year contract for the acquisition of a cyber range. In addition to delivering the platform, CybExer will conduct a series of dedicated trainings and ensure the operation and maintenance of the range throughout the contract period. The cyber security training platform will take advantage of CybExer’s internationally recognised cyber range management tools and offers highly realistic and flexible training environments. The range is designed to be primarily used by NSPA and the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence, but may also be shared with interested Allies and partners. Andrus Kivisaar, CEO of CybExer Technologies, said that winning this contract in such a highly competitive environment represents a reward for the huge efforts provided by CybExer over many years. “We have been focusing on building and improving cyber ranges for years and are glad that our dedication and expertise in the field has been recognised at NATO level. We see that the cybersecurity environment is getting more and more complex. It is good to work with a client who shares our vision and demands a sophisticated cyber range solution,” Kivisaar said. Ben Fetler, cyber security project manager at the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence noted: “Luxembourg has become a key information and...
You’ve set the alarm for 2:45pm. The web developer interview is scheduled for 3:00pm. You are patiently and nervously waiting, tension digging deeper in your chest, hands trembling without any tangible reason, for your mobile phone to ring. You’re wondering what web development interview questions the interviewer is going to fire off at you. Your mind is playing on your nerves. Tension rising notch by notch. “Am I really ready for that coding interview?” — you start beating yourself up. You check your phone — it’s 3:05 pm. No missed calls. Nothing. You anxiously recheck your phone — 3:15 pm… still nothing. You are already 30 minutes under pressure, sweating and silently moaning — your heart races. The latent impostor syndrome arises from the depths. You start freaking out… wondering whether or not you’ve given the wrong phone number… or if they might have forgotten about you. Your mind is leading a furious battle to overcome your anxious trains of thought. You, filled with a desperate hope, grab your phone with your sweaty pawl and look at it for one last time… and then… it rings. You pick up and say, “Hello,” trying to hide the trembling notes in your voice, the anxious quiver of your lips and fingers, while battling the excruciating jittery inside your mind. You introduce each other and then… kinds of interview questions for web developers thrown at you, catching you off guard, that you can barely give an adequate answer to. You realize that you are completely f*cked up. The overwhelming anxiety is growing deeper and deeper in you. You feel like you have...
Survey Says C# ‘Most-Loved’ Programming Language, .NET Core Slowly Gaining Traction Developer tooling specialist JetBrains is reporting on its new survey that delves into many aspects of software development, including programming languages, wherein it dubbed C# the “most-loved” language according to one metric. Early this year, JetBrains — known for its “intelligent” tooling solutions including the Rider cross-platform .NET integrated development environment (IDE) — polled nearly 7,000 developers in 17 countries to identify the “State of Developer Ecosystem.” Sections of the survey are devoted to major programming languages, including Java, C, C++, C#, Python and so on, with one “key takeaway” addressing their popularity, or love. “The programming languages with the most love are Java and Python,” the survey report said. “Second place is a tie between C# and JavaScript. But if the results are normalized by sample size, C# is the most loved language.” Here’s how the languages stacked up when respondents were asked to report their primary usage: The company offered up this takeaway comparison of the leading languages: Further investigating the C# camp, the survey indicates Microsoft’s new open source, cross-platform “Core” direction is gaining traction but still has a long way to go as it usurps the ageing, Windows-only .NET Framework, with .NET Core and ASP.NET Core leading the migration (C# questions were only shown to developers who chose C# as one of their three primary programming languages). “Adoption of .NET Core is growing, although C# remains a Windows-first language: more than 90 percent of developers use it only on Windows,” the survey report said. When asked what runtimes they regularly use, C# developers responded:...
Increase your value to employers by learning these top tools for developing web apps in React. Did you know most résumés submitted for jobs get rejected with just a single glance? That’s a daunting fact if you are trying to get started in web development, but there are ways to improve what you have to offer prospective employers and clients. For application developers, now is a great time to increase your skills, and open source is the best avenue for professional development. You don’t need to attend university to learn new open source skills; all you need is a sense of direction and self-discipline. ReactJS is one of many skills you would be wise to learn on your way to becoming a successful web developer. If you’re already comfortable with JavaScript and HTML, it is a natural next technology to learn. If you’re not familiar with them yet, then you’ll find ReactJS a great place to start as a programmer. In this article, I’ll share my top 10 tools and libraries that will help you qualify for a job (or be a serious hobbyist, if you prefer) as a JavaScript developer. What is React, and why should you learn it? React is a JavaScript library for user interface (UI) development that Facebook introduced in May 2013 (and still maintains). It uses JavaScript for development and simple state machine components that render dynamic content with ease. Because ReactJS is one of the most powerful frontend JavaScript libraries available, you should learn how to use it if you want to build amazing applications. It’s a driving force behind the interfaces of...
We can spend a lifetime reading histories of ancient Rome without knowing what any of its emperors looked like. Or rather, without knowing exactly what they looked like: being the leaders of the mightiest political entity in the Western world, they had their likenesses stamped onto coins and carved into busts as a matter of course. But such artist’s renderings inevitably come with a certain degree of artistic license, a tendency to mold features into slightly more imperial shapes. Seeing the faces of the Roman Emperors as we would if we were passing them on the street is an experience made possible only by high technology, and high technology developed sixteen centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire at that. “Using the neural-net tool Artbreeder, Photoshop and historical references, I have created photoreal portraits of Roman Emperors,” writes designer Daniel Voshart. “For this project, I have transformed, or restored (cracks, noses, ears etc.) 800 images of busts to make the 54 emperors of The Principate (27 BC to 285 AD).” The key technology that enables Artbreeder to convincingly blend images of faces together is what’s called a “generative adversarial network” (GAN). “Some call it Artificial Intelligence,” writes Voshart, “but it is more accurately described as Machine Learning.” The Verge’s James Vincent writes that Voshart fed in “images of emperors he collected from statues, coins, and paintings, and then tweaked the portraits manually based on historical descriptions, feeding them back to the GAN.” Into the mix also went “high-res images of celebrities”: Daniel Craig into Augustus, André the Giant into Maximinus Thrax (thought to have been given his “a...
