Deno Land, the organization behind the Deno JavaScript runtime, has encountered resistance from Oracle in its bid to release the trademark for “JavaScript.” Oracle, which acquired the trademark after purchasing Sun Microsystems in 2009, has declined to voluntarily relinquish it, according to a January 7 update from Deno Land. This development marks a significant step in the ongoing legal battle to redefine the status of the JavaScript trademark, which Deno Land contends should be recognized as a generic term no longer controlled by Oracle. In November, Deno Land filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)…
Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.96, the latest update to its widely used code editor, introducing new features like overtype mode and a “paste with imports” functionality for JavaScript and TypeScript developers. These updates, included in the November 2024 release, aim to enhance productivity and streamline workflows for developers working on complex projects. Users can download Visual Studio Code 1.96 for Windows, Linux, and Mac from the official project website. One of the standout features in this release is overtype mode, which allows developers to overwrite existing text instead of inserting new characters while typing. This feature is particularly…
The era of Java Applets is officially drawing to a close as the Java Development Kit (JDK) prepares for the removal of the Applet API. According to the JDK Enhancement Proposal, this API has been deprecated for removal for some time and is now considered obsolete. Modern web browsers and the latest JDK releases no longer support applets, rendering the API functionally irrelevant. While a specific JDK release for the removal hasn’t been finalized, the move is part of a broader effort to streamline Java and eliminate outdated components. Several factors underscore the decision to retire the Applet API. For…
Google has made a bold move into the AI-powered coding tools market with the introduction of Jules, an experimental coding assistant designed to streamline developer workflows. Jules is positioned as a direct competitor to well-established tools like GitHub Copilot and Amazon Q Developer, signaling Google’s intention to carve out a significant share of this rapidly growing market. As AI continues to transform software development, the launch of Jules underscores the increasing importance of intelligent tools in boosting productivity and accelerating coding tasks. The AI coding tools market has seen tremendous growth, driven by demand from developers and organizations looking to…
Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is a powerful feature in C# that integrates querying capabilities directly into the .NET ecosystem, enabling developers to manipulate data collections with expressive and concise syntax. LINQ simplifies common data operations like filtering, sorting, and projecting, making it a go-to tool for working with in-memory data, databases, XML, and more. One lesser-known yet highly useful feature in LINQ is chunking, which provides a straightforward way to divide a collection into smaller, more manageable groups of elements. This article delves into chunking in LINQ, providing practical C# examples to illustrate how to use this feature effectively. Chunking is…
At Microsoft’s Ignite 2024 event, Azure CTO Mark Russinovich shed light on the company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its data center infrastructure, focusing on innovations aimed at improving efficiency. As demand for cloud services continues to soar, particularly with the rise of power-hungry generative AI models like ChatGPT, data centers have become the backbone of modern computing. With such significant network load, driven by both training and inference costs, it’s clear that optimizing data center operations is no longer a luxury but a necessity—especially as Microsoft pursues ambitious climate goals that require a more sustainable and efficient infrastructure. Azure’s approach…
Google has unveiled Gemini 2.0, a groundbreaking AI model designed for the “agentic era,” signaling the company’s next major step in AI innovation. Announced on December 11, Gemini 2.0 promises to be the most advanced model Google has released so far, with significant upgrades in multimodal capabilities, including the ability to generate and understand both images and audio. This model is poised to be a key player in the development of more sophisticated AI agents that can act autonomously on a user’s behalf, a critical step towards realizing the vision of a universal assistant. One of the standout features of…
When the Ultralytics YOLO package, a widely used real-time object detection tool in Python, was compromised, the initial assumption was that the Python Package Index (PyPI) had been breached. This made sense at first since the tampered software was discovered there, and PyPI has become a well-known attack vector for malicious actors targeting Python developers. With the massive popularity of Python, the repository’s security flaws have often been exploited, leading to the assumption that PyPI itself was the weak point. However, as the investigation unfolded, it became clear that the PyPI package was merely a symptom of a larger issue.…
In my earlier article, we took our first steps into building an HTTP server using Express.js. Now, we’re diving deeper into more advanced topics that will further enhance your web development skills. This article covers how to integrate view templates with Express.js, persist data across requests, and leverage HTMX to make your applications more dynamic and interactive. These techniques will allow you to create more robust and interactive web applications while still keeping your code clean and efficient. Express.js is a versatile framework, offering great flexibility when it comes to rendering dynamic content through view templates. A view template lets…
OpenSilver 3.1, a key release from Userware for cross-platform .NET development, has introduced a groundbreaking feature: the first-ever drag-and-drop XAML designer for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. This update, announced on December 10, marks a significant milestone for developers using non-Windows platforms. The SDK for OpenSilver 3.1 is now available for download, and it promises to enhance user interface design across all major operating systems, including macOS and Linux, which previously lacked comprehensive tools for visual XAML design. The new XAML designer in OpenSilver 3.1 addresses a long-standing gap in the .NET development ecosystem. Before this release, developers on macOS and…
