You may have read about hackers using ChatGPT to impersonate your grandma. If that story made you dig a little deeper, you may have learned about the hyper-realistic phishing scams being concocted with generative AI. And if you’ve really gone into the cyber-security weeds, you may have discovered the new breed of infostealer malware stealing passwords and browser log-ins. All sounds very concerning right? Well, it needn’t do.

Since Adobe introduced the PDF in 1993, this versatile file format has played a key role in the digital revolution. PDFs give us a universal languages across different devices, they support interactive and multimedia elements, and they provide robust encryption. Today, Adobe estimates there are over 2.5 trillion PDFs in existence around the world. It’s fairly self-evident, then, that PDF functionalities are now a crucial part of web application development.

The when in Kotlin defines a conditional expression with more than one branch, that’s the statement you need to use when you want to write a Kotlin switch. In Java, we are using switch case statements. In Java, we need to define a break in each switch case, but in Kotlin we don’t need to. There are two ways you can use them in Kotlin. Either as a statement or as an expression.

Effective and efficient lakehouse data retention strategies are essential for enabling enterprise security operations (SecOps) teams to unlock the full value of your security log data.

Efficient handling of asynchronous data streams is an important tool of modern application development. Kotlin Flows, part of the Kotlin Coroutines library, provide a flexible and elegant solution for working with such data streams. Kotlin Flows are part of Kotlin Coroutines – unlike traditional callbacks or RxJava handling, which can be clunkier and may not directly integrate with your existing code structure easily.

JSON, which stands for JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight data-interchange format that offers a way to store and exchange data that is simple to read and write. It can be viewed as a format for organizing data so that different programs can understand it. It is frequently used for transmitting data in web applications between a server and a client. JSON logs are log entries that are formatted in JSON.

Modern organizations generate large amounts of logs from multiple data sources, creating significant challenges when it comes to analyzing the data and extracting useful insights at scale. Data scientists can tackle these challenges with help from Mosaic AI, which helps Databricks users build and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions.

Logs play a vital role in understanding how applications and systems perform, but unstructured log data can be hard to analyse. The Grok parser helps by converting raw logs into structured, readable formats. It is widely used for extracting information such as timestamps, error codes, and IP addresses from logs, making them easier to analyse and query.

In the fast-changing landscape of mobile app development, delivering bug-free apps with a great user experience is essential. But crashes are inevitable, no matter how much developers try to avoid them. There are several mobile crash reporting tools that make the task of identifying, diagnosing and fixing these issues easy as pie.

In programming, exception handling is an essential concept to help developers catch and manage errors in a way that will support the application’s architecture robustness. An Exception is an event which disrupts the normal flow of your Android application. It can occur if a user provides an invalid input, or there are runtime errors, such as division by zero. Exceptions happen when there are unexpected conditions, like IOError file reading failed etc.
