Shortly thereafter, users began posting screenshots on the web confirming the inability to view after exceeding the message limit, including on the pages of corporate advertisers.

Advertising industry veterans say the move is hampering the work of Linda Yaccarino, who took over as Twitter CEO last month and has been trying to build relationships with advertisers who left the service after Musk bought it.

According to Jasmine Enberg, principal analyst at Insider Intelligence, limiting users’ views could be a “disaster” for the platform’s advertising business.

According to Kai-Cheng Yang, a researcher at Indiana University in Bloomington, the restrictions effectively block the ability of third parties, including search engines, to collect data from Twitter. That capability will continue to exist, but the methods will become more sophisticated and less effective.

Resecurity, a cybersecurity and intelligence company, recently debuted its innovative cyber threat intelligence platform designed to streamline threat detection and response at the 2022 MILIPOL Qatar conference. MILIPOL Qatar is a leading international event for homeland security and civil defense in the Middle East that brings together thousands of security professionals from more than 60 countries.

Qatar is known for its cybersecurity commitment and expertise, with the country being named the most secure county in the MENA region in the 2020 Global Peace Index. As a result of their investment and focus on cybersecurity, Qatar’s cybersecurity market is expected to reach US $1,642.3 million in 2026.1 As a leading authority in homeland security, MILIPOL Qatar brings thousands of security leaders together each year to provide access to the Middle East security markets and enable key international industry players to form economic and strategic projects.

“The threatscape and adversarial tactics nations face are constantly changing, making investing in the latest technology and intelligence platforms essential for countries to secure their IT ecosystems. Resecurity is proud to have participated at MILIPOL Qatar at this critical time of rapid digital transformation in the Middle East. We look forward to providing more homeland security forces with the real-time, contextualized threat intelligence they need to counter adversaries and reduce security gaps leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science and actionable Big Data to make strategic decisions,” said Gene Yoo, CEO of Resecurity.

Resecurity showcased how its risk management and security capabilities enable homeland security, civil defense, and law enforcement to better detect, mitigate and respond to technology and geographical risks within an organization’s security ecosystem. Resecurity’s cyber threat intelligence platform pairs actionable threat intelligence with a comprehensive look across the threat landscape for organizations, allowing administrators to quickly see in-depth analysis and specific artifacts obtained through the dark web, botnets activity, network intelligence and high-quality threat intelligence data.

Qatar is actively preparing to host the upcoming World Cup 2022 where cyber threat intelligence will act as a critical component of national security to prevent and to mitigate potential risks targeting visitors, organizers, and the IT supply chain. Just recently Qatar launched a specialized “Last Mile” conference welcoming security representatives of each qualified nation and other relevant organizations like Interpol, the United Nations and the FIFA’s Safety and Security Operations Committee to discuss the latest preparations to the event from a security and coordination perspective.

Resecurity’s exhibition at MILIPOL supported its ongoing expansion throughout the Middle East, including partnerships in Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon and their recently announced AI research and development center in Riyadh. MILIPOL Qatar 2022 was held under the authority of the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, H.E.

Can Hodor Actually Detect Overload In LinkedIn Microservices? https://devstyler.io/blog/2022/02/23/can-hodor-actually-detect-overload-in-linkedin-microservices/ Wed, 23 Feb 2022 07:42:11 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=81584 ...]]> LinkedIn recently published how it handles overload detection and remediation in its Java-based microservices. LinkedIn’s solution, Hodor, provides an adaptive solution that works out of the box with no configuration, InfoQ.

The company has developed a standard framework for Java-based services that provides Holistic Overload Detection and Overload Remediation, aka “Hodor.” It is designed to detect service overload caused by multiple root causes, and to automatically remediate the problem by dropping just enough traffic to allow the service to recover, and then maintaining an optimal traffic level to prevent reentering overload, according to a LinkedIn’s blog post.

The service is designed for a wide range of different types of overload. The most obvious ones revolve around physical resource limits such as CPU and memory exhaustion, and I/O limits for network and disk access. There are also virtual resource limits such as execution threads, pooled DB connections, or semaphore permits.

These limits may be exceeded due to increases in traffic to the service, though they can also be reached when latencies of downstream traffic increase, which can cause the number of concurrent requests being handled in the local service to increase with no change to the incoming request rate as noted in the article.

Hodor’s services include framework overview; detecting CPU overload; shedding requests when overloaded; testing and rollout and more.

What do you need to bear in mind when purchasing HR software for your business? https://devstyler.io/blog/2021/12/16/what-do-you-need-to-bear-in-mind-when-purchasing-hr-software-for-your-business/ Thu, 16 Dec 2021 16:45:20 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=76951 ...]]> If you decide to purchase HR software for your company, you need to know that it would be a real challenge and an experience which may be time-consuming.

What do you need to do?

There are some actions you need to take in order to obtain the best software. You have to make sense of supplier marketing materials, zone in on suitable products, and evaluate your staff’s needs. If you want to avoid starting the buying process again or using a software that is not as good as you want it to be, you need to be aware of those things:

Firstly, you need to know that there are two types of software that you could choose for your human resource department – on-demand or on-premise software.

What is the difference? 

The On-premise software is stored in your company’s computers and it is customized to be able to suit your needs. What does it mean? Well, the more your business grows, the less you invest in a tool. Why? Because this software can scale with your business, it requires rigorous training to operate, licensing for anyone who has access to the system, as well as frequent updates. Bear in mind that it is expensive to install.

The On-demand software, which is also called “Cloud software” is stored online. If your business is geographically spread, this is the best option for you. One of its advantages is that you have access to it wherever you are. It is also affordable and it doesn’t need to be updated frequently. However, it is not flexible which means that you may be forced to invest in a new one when your business grows or needs some change.

What about the cost? 

When choosing a suitable HR software for your company, you need to buy a tool which you can afford. It’s a bad idea to buy software which is the cheapest option on the market because it may not be suitable for your business and its needs. But, if you want to reduce spending, it’s a good idea to check online some websites that provide discounts.

The third important thing you need to be aware of is that the size of your company has a direct impact on the features and functionalities your preferred HR software should include. Payroll, employee data, talent management, company policies, leave management, etc. are features which come with the typical HR software. So, if you are running a large company, features such as exit, onboarding, and automation are really helpful for your organization.

Also, you need to think about your employees. You need a software which is easy to use by them, especially when they are not tech-savvy. Providing a software that is complex to navigate automatically means that there will be delays in the execution of operations. Not only that, but you need to invest money in training your staff – this is really important if you want your company to grow. However, if your business needs complex software, be sure to spend time and money in educating employees on how to work with it.

Last but not least, you need to think about the security of you and your staff. Make sure you choose the software which will prevent you from accessing unauthorized personnel to your data.

WhatsApp is trying to Secure you from Stalking by Strangers https://devstyler.io/blog/2021/12/14/whatsapp-is-trying-to-secure-you-from-stalking-by-strangers/ Tue, 14 Dec 2021 14:12:12 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=76681 ...]]> Recently, more and more companies are focusing on their privacy and security. WhatsApp, which is managed by Meta, is also working on its users’ privacy these days. A new privacy tool was launched by the company earlier this month. The option is limiting who gets to view  your Last Seen on the app. As we know, at that moment, the application is giving an allowance to users to share their “Last Seen” status with everyone, my contacts or nobody. Also, the company is working on another addition which is tested only with beta users. It’s about ‘My Contacts Except’ option. However, it seems that WhatsApp is hiding user’s Last Seen only for people who they haven’t chatted with before.

WABetaInfo reported that some users have noticed they can not view the Last Seen status of certain numbers. In a support email the company stated that they are trying to make it harder for people you don’t know and haven’t chatted with from seeing your last seen and online presence on WhatsApp, but this doesn’t apply for people who you know.

There are users who depend on third-party apps to track the Last Seen statuses of other people on WhatsApp. This privacy-focused step aims to make it harder for people who you don’t know or haven’t chatted with to track you in the online world. However, if you start chatting with a person whose number you haven’t save, they will be able to see your Last Seen status.

How Can Programmers Cope Up With Computer Vision Syndrome? https://devstyler.io/blog/2021/02/08/how-can-programmers-cope-up-with-computer-vision-syndrome/ Mon, 08 Feb 2021 05:41:00 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=40373 ...]]> Computer vision syndrome, also referred to as digital eye strain, describes a group of eye– and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader and cell phone use. This syndrome is characterized by dry and red eyes, sensitivity to glare, pain around the eyes, headache and overall fatigue.eye

Statistics show that nearly 7 out of 10 people who spend 8 to 12 hours a day staring at a computer screen will develop Computer vision impairment. According to a report from India, around 80% of individuals with eye problems hail from the IT profession.

Here are some basic steps of how to prevent eye strain:

  • Follow the 20-20-20 rule– Every 20 minutes look away from the computer screen at an object around 20 feet away for around 20 seconds.
  • Using anti-glare screen covers can reduce eye strain significantly and reduce the chances of developing computer vision syndrome.
  • Avoiding using computers in dark rooms.

An important note is to also rearrange your desk and position your monitor slightly below the eyes level, about 20 to 28 inches away from your face. You shouldn’t have to stretch your neck or strain your eyes to see what’s on the screen.

Note that if you don’t do anything to reduce the symptoms of computer vision syndrome, it might affect more than your eyes, leaving lasting consequences on your work performance and way of life.
