Webster University’s Computer Science Club (CS Club) recently competed in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) Mid-Central Regional Contest for the first time in four years. The event was held in Cape Girardeau at Southeast Missouri State University. Two coding teams from the CS Club participated – the Golden Gorloks, which consisted of upperclassmen Divyam Arora, Zach McColgan and Urmat Urustemov, and the Gorlok Blues, consisting of underclassmen Muaz Mohammed and Zach Novak.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an algorithmic programming contest for college students. Teams of three, representing their university, work to solve real-world problems, fostering collaboration, creativity, innovation, and the ability to perform under pressure. Through training and competition, teams challenge each other to raise the bar as much as possible. ICPC is the oldest and largest programming contest in the world.

Although the ICPC Competition is typically held in November, the 2023 competition was held in February 2024 due to a postponement resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Participating in the ICPC Mid-Central Regional Contest was an incredible experience for our Coding Team,” said Arora, who

Best laptops for programming of 2024

Our team of reviewers put the best laptops for programming to the test – for writing, running, and testing code in style. 

In our experience, the best laptops for programming blend outstanding performance and power with ergonomic keyboards and high-resolution screens for all-day comfort. They’re fast, reliable, and slim enough to carry on the commute or around campus. 

But which programming laptop is best? We wanted to find out. Our team of reviewers have tested hundreds of the best laptops and best business laptops,  so we know what to look for – and what you need to avoid. 

As part of our process, we compared specs, benchmarked real-world performances, and conducted battery life tests to find the top-rated models. We’ve also evaluated portability, stand-out features, and overall value for money across a range of Windows, Apple, and Chromebook laptops for computer programmers.

White House urges devs to switch to memory-safe programming languages

The White House Office of the National Cyber ​​Director (ONCD) urges tech companies today to switch to memory-safe programming languages, such as Rust, to improve software security by reducing the number of memory safety vulnerabilities.

Such vulnerabilities are coding errors or weaknesses within software that can lead to memory management issues when memory can be accessed, written, allocated, or allocated.

They occur when software accesses memory in unintended or unsafe ways, resulting in various security risks and issues such as buffer overflow, use after free, use of uninitialized memory, and double free that attackers can exploit.

Successful exploitation carries severe risks, potentially enabling threat actors to gain unauthorized access to data or execute malicious code with the privileges of the system owner.

“For over 35 years, this same class of vulnerabilities has affected the entire digital ecosystem. The challenge of eliminating classes of software vulnerabilities is an urgent and complex problem. Looking forward, new approaches must be taken to mitigate this risk,” ONCD’s report says .

“The highest leverage method to reduce memory safety vulnerabilities is to secure one of the building blocks of cyberspace: the programming language. Using memory safe programming languages ​​can eliminate most memory safety
