Microsoft’s TypeScript programming language has seen steady growth in recent years. Now, for the first time, TypeScript has officially entered the list of top 10 programming languages published by RedMonk. RedMonk analyst Stephen O’Grady says that the popularity of TypeScript can be attributed to the prevalence of JavaScript, combined with the optional safety offered by TypeScript. For the uninitiated, RedMonk creates the top 10 list by combining the programming language rankings from both GitHub and Stack Overflow to reflect a language’s popularity both in terms of code and discussion.

Additionally, there is also a shortage of tech workers in fields like cybersecurity and technology infrastructure development. Even though there is no shortage of jobs in the tech industry, companies are suffering when it comes to finding ‘skilled’ workers for specialized jobs. This indicates that employers are paying more to retain talent and to combat the shortage of skilled tech workers. The falling unemployment rate and the dearth of skilled workers in tech can be attributed to several reasons like lack of adequate skill development courses, amongst other reasons.

On similar lines, researchers at the University of California have developed a deep neural network that can spot deepfake photos.A team of researchers led by Prof. Amit K. Roy-Chowdhury fed a set of images, including both manipulated and non-manipulated photos, to the neural network. While most of the time, it is not possible to detect morphed photos by the naked eye, but a computer that could examine the photos pixel-by-pixel can use this fact to spot the deepfakes. After the neural network was shown images outside of the dataset previously fed to it, the network was able to spot deepfakes “most of the time.”

Malware is a common thing in the Windows and Android world, but Linux malware is rare owing to the core architecture of Linux. However, researchers from Intezer Labs have discovered a new strain of Linux malware dubbed EvilGnome, which exhibits rare functionalities. The Linux malware hides as a Gnome Shell extension and is intended to spy on users. Researchers have discovered that Linux malware also has an unfinished keylogger functionality and “comments, symbol names and compilation metadata which typically do not appear in production versions.”

For example, the way apps like WhatsApp present notifications makes it easy for the user to check new messages and respond to them. It compared the numbers between 2015 and 2017 and concluded that if an app sends between 2 to 5 notifications per week, around 46% people in 2015 were likely to disable the notifications as compared to 37% in 2017. If an app sends like 20 notifications per week, users in 2017 are more likely to disable notifications than in 2015. For example, when you repeatedly swipe away some notification, Android asks you whether you want to keep viewing such notification or not.

When it comes to whether or not a user is being tracked on the web, the answer is yes, and this even includes the various pornographic websites a user visits. According to a study, various major tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and Oracle can track users when they visit a porn website, even if such websites are browsed using incognito mode. Several websites have trackers and third-party codes that allow them to track a user’s browsing habits, interests, and more, without users knowing about it. The study suggests that tracking abilities by tech majors on porn sites can leak sensitive user data such as a user’s gender, sexual identity/orientation, gender performance, content related to sex, or interests.

We know we get tracked whenever we visit a particular website and studies show that we get tracked even in Incognito mode — disrupting the very purpose of this feature. This is possible due to a loophole that allows websites to detect the FileSystem API, which is usually disabled when the Incognito mode is switched on. Websites can check for the availability of FileSystem API and if they receive an error message, they know that the user is browsing in Incognito mode. On detecting such behavior, these websites either try to make users sign up to continue on the site in Incognito mode or force them into switching to the normal mode.
