A web developer is the tech role most likely to be offered to work from home and also gets 39 percent more pay for the arrangement than other jobs, according to research.Looking at six million data points from Glassdoor, the employer comparison service, HR software biz Remote found 31 percent of web developer jobs say they are remote-based followed by software engineers and translators.

Deep learning (DL) has arrived, not only for natural language, speech, and image processing but also for coding, which I refer to as deep programming (DP).DP is used to detect similar programs, find relevant code, translate programs from one language to another, discover software defects, and to synthesize programs from a natural language description.

After a Ph.D. thesis at the University of Rennes 1 in 1991 under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Banâtre, Valérie was recruited as a researcher at Inria in 1992 in the Solidor team, and obtained a Habilitation Degree at the University of Rennes 1 in 1997 before joining Inria Paris Rocquencourt in 1999 where she created and directed the Arles team from 2002 to 2013.

Apple on Monday announced an updated autocorrect function that aims to more accurately reflect users' intended word choices, pleasing customers whose attempts to swear in texts have long been replaced with duck or ducking (and freeing innocent waterfowl from their unfortunate association with an obscenity).

Angular Router is one of the best solutions for setting up routing in your single-page application.In this tutorial, I will show you how to implement Angular Router into your Angular application.1. Install the Angular Router
In order to set up routes in Angular, you need to install the Angular Router.

As a management consultant with a PhD in software engineering, I understand the challenges that come with working in a code base that is difficult to understand, debug, and maintain.This situation can be especially frustrating for developers who are trying to make improvements to the code but are unable to do so because of the complexity and lack of organization in the code base.

Apple is to introduce three security features focused on protecting user data in the cloud as the next step in an ongoing programme of cyber improvements, among them the addition of the tried-and-tested physical security key, which it will source from an unspecified third-party supplier.The three new features, which are to become available globally over the course of 2023, comprise Security Keys for Apple ID, giving users the choice of having a physical form of multifactor authentication (MFA); Contact Key Verification for iMessage, to allow users to verify they are communicating with the intended party; and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, offering end-to-end encryption across users' iCloud data, such as Backup, Photos and Notes.

A recent report indicating that Amazon's Alexa division is on track to lose $10 billion US this year is raising questions about the future of the entire voice-assistant industry."I think there is a next-generation battle for voice assistance that will require very, very deep pockets to survive," said Andy Wu, an assistant professor of business administration in the strategy unit at Harvard Business School.
