Golang, Python or C/C++, who wins Obed N Muñoz

This time I had an opportunity for presenting at Ameca, Jalisco. I presented at the CUVALLES university. My talk was about some of the key features of Golang, Python and C/C++ programming languages. But, this was not the main reason I choose this topic. The idea is to explain the process for choosing a good programming language for your project. It’s not about the language, it’s about the problem you want to solve and which are the features a programming language can offer you to solve the problem.

Cross Platform Objective C Development Using Gn Ustepwangii

Objective-C is a programming language that is a strict superset of C, adding object-oriented capabilities. It allows code written in C to be seamlessly integrated with object-oriented code. Objective-C code can be compiled on both Apple and open source platforms like GNUstep, but some additional steps are required to ensure portability between the platforms. Tools like GNUstep and Renaissance help create portable graphical user interfaces without relying on platform-specific solutions like Xcode or Interface Builder.

Introduction To Computer ProgrammingHussain Buksh

This document provides an introduction to computer programming concepts including: - A programming language is a set of rules that allows communication between humans and computers to perform operations. Different languages have evolved for different types of programs and problem domains. - Programs are written in high-level languages then compiled or interpreted into machine-readable code. Common language types include procedural, object-oriented, functional, and declarative languages. - The programming process involves understanding the problem, designing an algorithm, writing source code, compiling for errors, debugging, and executing the program. Flowcharts can help design the program logic.

The article concludes by noting that Go offers performance close to C/C++ while also providing garbage collection and runtime reflection capabilities.

An Introduction to GoImesh Gunaratne

Google created Go because existing systems programming languages did not provide efficient compilation, execution, and ease of programming simultaneously. Go combines the ease of dynamically typed languages with the efficiency and safety of compiled, statically typed languages. It has features for concurrency and garbage collection that improve on C, as well as syntax inspired by Python, JavaScript, and Pascal.

Python was created in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language. It is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language that is easy to read and maintain. Python code is portable and can be used for web development, desktop GUIs, games, data science, and more due to its large standard library and extensive third party libraries. Some limitations are that performance is not as fast as lower-level compiled languages and it is not well-suited for mobile applications.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc

Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency. This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data. Attendees will learn: - Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection - How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations - Where business preparedness needs improvement - What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
