It is a common practice among programmers to copy-paste code snippets from the popular Q&A forum Stack Overflow to solve their coding problems. But it turns out that this lazy habit runs a high-security risk. A paper titled “An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples,” highlights the same. Copied codes can result […]
GNOME Foundation has partnered up with Endless to launch a new ‘Coding Education Challenge’ for budding programmers.
