Python: best programming language, again this year
Once again, it's Python that takes first place in the top programming languages list in 2021. This is the fifth consecutive year at the top of the charts for Python. Followed by Java and C. The IEEE ranking is a good way to orient ourselves and to know which programming language to prioritize in our professional practices. To learn more about the ranking, see the Blog du modérateur's article.

Indeed, Joe Biden has invited the tech giants to discuss the growing threat of cyberattacks in the United States and North America in general. Biden even raised the idea of an armed war resulting from cyber attacks. Through this emergency meeting, Microsoft has pledged to invest $ 20 billion in cybersecurity over the next 5 years.

No more swipe up for instagram: a new sticker feature with links!
New feature for Instagram: no more swipe up to promote links in stories! Previously, users with over 10,000 followers had the option to add links to their story by asking their followers to swipe up. Now, Instagram is introducing sticker links. Indeed, the links can be added directly in the stories, to facilitate interactions. It's not yet clear if the minimum subscribers to access the feature will be the same, we'll have to stay tuned! For more information on the transition, see the Social Media Today article.

Google remains Apple's default search engine, at a great price
It's no secret that Google has been the most popular search engine for a very long time. This success is no coincidence, for several years, Google has paid Apple a large amount of money to remain the default search engine on computers, iPads and iPhones! Recently, the news came out that in 2020 Google paid Apple $ 10 billion and in 2021, $ 15 billion. What do you think of these annual transactions, do you think it's time to switch search engines for Apple? For more information on the transaction, see the Arobasenet.com article.
