Here, we examine the relationship between these disciplines. We also look at how training in both areas can help professionals excel in the interdisciplinary and independent fields. The relationship between linguistics and computer science Linguistics and computer science both deal with languages. While linguistics examines conveyance, processing, and the evolution of natural languages, computer science applies the same questions to programming. Both fields deal with syntax, semantics, and instructions — and how people perceive them....

Paragon’s NTFS driver will make working with Windows’ NTFS drives in Linux an easier task – ending decades of difficulties with Microsoft’s proprietary file system that succeeded FAT. The addition of Paragon NTFS3 kernel driver follows a prompt from Torvalds in August to go for it and “actually submit” the code so it can be merged into the kernel, telling Paragon that it “should just make a git pull request for it....

Due to the increase in devastation from fires, firefighters are also facing greater health risks after battling against blazes. To help with this problem, the Linux Foundation has announced that it will host Pyrrha – a solution created by AI-platform Prometeo that uses artificial intelligence and the internet of things to guard the safety of firefighters. Prometeo won IBM’s 2019 Call for Code Global Challenge after designing their platform, which monitors and acts on firefighter health and safety in real-time and over the long term....

You can simply drag and drop or resize so many media sources, such as images, GIFs, videos, and even web pages. Skype calls can be added with just one click, and you can screen capture conference calls like Zoom, Teams, and more. XSplit Broadcaster, however, is far more than simply a screen recorder. Use In-Game HUD to manage everything from one monitor or projector mode for multiple displays. Any scene, including your active one, can be projected to another display....

Last night, at around 11 pm, my wife told me that Alexa was no longer able to switch off any Hue lights. There happen to be a pair in use in my main bedroom as bedside lamps. Sure enough, after investigating the issue, it turned out that Philips Hue’s cloud service and Alexa skill got disconnected from my system. After attempting to reset the skill and reconnect it to my Alexa, I saw this message: This is, of course, extremely frustrating when you’ve integrated all your lighting into a smart home system....

It’s Samsung’s week at its Unpacked 2021 event where it unveiled the the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, as well as the Galaxy Watch4, and the Galaxy Buds 2. Think of the Fold as a book-like device that can be a tablet, while the Flip, as the name suggests, is basically a flip phone shape, and Microsoft has explained how some of its key apps, including Microsoft Office, Teams and Outlook, will work with these new form factors....

TikTok under CFIUS Review TikTok has exploded in popularity around the world. The app has been downloaded over 2 billion times globally and 165 million times in the US in Q1, 2020 only. In 2017, ByteDance, the Beijing based internet technology company, acquired the US-based short-video app musical.ly. In August 2018, ByteDance merged musical.ly into TikTok. At the time, it did not seek approval from CFIUS, a US Government inter-agency committee that reviews possible national security implications of foreign investments....

This has become a popular thought ever since the pandemic struck and working from home became the new way of life. Many of the essences of management were tossed to the wind. Employees were left to their own devices and at least some felt liberated. Some managers reacted by spying on their employees. Others by plaintively crying that they were unable to manage because they didn’t have the resources or because they felt they’d simply lost their influence....

Microsoft’s chief people officer Kathleen Hogan announced the move in an email to US employees, detailing how it’s bringing a more “flexible model” to its vacation policy. So-called unlimited paid time off (UPTO) policies have become a popular tool to attract and keep talent in tech, finance, and other sectors facing staff shortages. According to The Verge, which viewed the memo, Microsoft is calling its policy “Discretionary Time Off”. Also: ‘Find something you’re passionate about....

The total patch count for the August 2022 Patch Tuesday Update actually includes 20 flaws in Edge that Microsoft had previously released fixes for, leaving 121 flaws affecting Windows, Office, Azure, .NET Core, Visual Studio and Exchange Server. The Zero Day Initiative noted that the volume of fixes released this month is “markedly higher” than what is normally expected in an August release. “It’s almost triple the size of last year’s August release, and it’s the second largest release this year,” the bug hunting group said....

It’s been just over a year since Microsoft announced it would drop support for IE on June 15, 2022. Since then, it has been persuading customers to move to Edge before June 15 and use ‘IE mode’ in Edge for legacy applications and websites that need it. IE mode will be supported until at least 2029. Microsoft has tried to prepare customers for this event for years. In 2019, before it declared the end date for IE, Microsoft execs declared IE 11 a “compatibility solution” that should not be used as the default browser....

Microsoft is leveraging the power of GPT-4 to launch a new, generative AI security product called Microsoft Security Copilot. Also: These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers The main idea is to use conversational AI to enhance the capabilities of security professionals, who are often overwhelmed by the sheer numbers and the sophistication of today’s attacks – partly because there are over 3 million unfilled jobs for IT security experts....

Image credit: Ed Bott/ZDNet Hand it to Microsoft, the normally stiff-necked company got representatives of the press to line up and wait eagerly for a product announcement. Two new Surface tablets were shown, albeit briefly, and left some definite impressions. What little I saw of the new tablets from afar made it clear that Microsoft made them for me. Colleague Ed Bott attended the Microsoft unveiling and has some wonderfully detailed impressions of the new Surface tablets....

SDSM works by removing Just-In-Time compilation from the V8 processing pipeline, which will reduce the attack surface that can be used to hack into Edge’s systems, as Bleeping Computer (where I first saw the SDSM information) explains. In addition to disabling the JIT, SDSM enables “new security mitigations” to make Edge a more secure browser. “JavaScript plays a key role in any browser story. JITs exist for a reason, and that is to optimize JavaScript performance,” the Microsoft browser researchers noted in their August 4 blog post about SDSM....
