Welcome to our latest round-up of news from the technology and hosting world. Here’s what we’ve discovered this week.
欢迎访问我们来自技术和托管领域的最新新闻摘要。 这就是我们本周发现的东西。
iOS Facebook用户无需浪漫 (No romance for iOS Facebook users)
Apple device owners searching for love on Tinder might have found their romantic efforts thwarted last week when a Facebook update caused the app to keep crashing. Indeed, the update also sent music and video lovers into a tizzy as it affected other apps, including Spotify and TikTok.
上周,当Facebook更新导致该应用程序继续崩溃时,在Tinder上搜索爱情的苹果设备所有者可能发现他们的浪漫努力受挫。 确实,此更新还影响了音乐和视频爱好者,因为它影响了其他应用程序,包括Spotify和TikTok。
The cause was a change to the coding of Facebook’s software developer kit, Facebook SDK, utilised by app developers to enable users to sign into apps with their Facebook login credentials. Facebook SDK has become popular because choosing ‘login with Facebook’ means users don’t need to register a username and password and, if they are logged into Facebook, they can log in to the other app at the press of a button. The benefit for Facebook, of course, is that the social media giant gets its hands on all the data about the apps’ users. The issue has now been fixed.
原因是对Facebook软件开发人员工具包Facebook SDK的编码进行了更改,应用程序开发人员使用它来使用户能够使用其Facebook登录凭据登录应用程序。 Facebook SDK之所以流行,是因为选择“使用Facebook登录”意味着用户无需注册用户名和密码,并且如果登录到Facebook,则只需按一下按钮即可登录到另一个应用程序。 当然,Facebook的好处是,社交媒体巨头可以掌握有关应用程序用户的所有数据。 现在,此问题已得到解决。
视频集接手招聘 (Video set to take over recruitment)
While traditional CVs aren’t going anywhere soon, businesses and recruitment companies are increasingly asking job seekers to embellish their applications with personal videos in order to find out a little bit more about their personality.
尽管传统的简历不会很快到位,但企业和招聘公司越来越多地要求求职者用个人视频修饰自己的应用程序,以便更多地了解他们的个性。
One recruitment platform taking advantage of this move is Slync. Designed for the ‘Snapchat generation’, it puts video at the centre of its recruiting operations. Here, employers begin the hiring process by browsing through candidates’ selfie videos. The videos are no longer than 35 seconds long, enough time, says Slync, for companies to make informed decisions about whether the applicant is suitable for more detailed consideration.
Slync是利用这一举措的一个招聘平台。 专为“ Snapchat一代”设计,它将视频置于招聘活动的中心。 雇主在这里通过浏览候选人的自拍视频来开始招聘过程。 Slync说,这些视频的时长不超过35秒,足以让公司就申请人是否适合进行更详细的考虑做出明智的决定。
While this form of application is likely to appeal to both modern businesses and job seekers, there are concerns that by watching individuals on camera before the interview, there is the potential for discrimination. To prevent this and to encourage a broader range of applicants, companies are also encouraged to post videos about themselves and, in doing so, are urged to show that they are an inclusive business with a diverse workforce.
尽管这种形式的申请很可能对现代企业和求职者都有吸引力,但有人担心,在面试前在摄像机旁注视个人,可能会产生歧视。 为了防止这种情况并鼓励更多的申请人,还鼓励公司发布有关自己的视频,并在此过程中,敦促公司表明它们是包容性企业,拥有多元化的员工队伍。
网络空间发生冷战 (Cold War taking place in cyberspace)
News has recently emerged that the Trump administration in Washington ordered US intelligence to carry out cyberattacks against Russia in 2018. After Russia’s infamous Internet Research Agency interfered in the 2016 presidential elections, Trump was determined that this shouldn’t be repeated in the 2018 mid-terms.
最近有消息传出,华盛顿的特朗普政府下令美国情报部门在2018年对俄罗斯实施网络攻击。在俄罗斯臭名昭著的互联网研究机构(Internet Research Agency)干预2016年总统大选之后,特朗普决定在2018年中期不重复这种做法,条款。
Based in St Petersburg, the Internet Research Agency is a private Russian company that engages in ‘online influence operations.’ Its clients include Russian companies, political organisations and, the US insists, the Russian government – for which it carries out state-sponsored cyber operations.
互联网研究机构总部位于圣彼得堡,是一家俄罗斯私营公司,从事“在线影响力运营”。 它的客户包括俄罗斯公司,政治组织,以及美国坚持认为的俄罗斯政府,俄罗斯政府为此开展了政府资助的网络运营。
While President Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for the 2016 interference, Trump decided to take pre-emptive measures to stop the company meddling in its elections and launched a covert cyberattack to take the Russian outfit offline. The process, according to senior officials, was ‘effective’.
在奥巴马总统针对2016年的干预对俄罗斯实施制裁的同时,特朗普决定采取先发制人的措施以阻止该公司干预选举,并发起秘密网络攻击以使俄罗斯服装下线。 据高级官员称,这一过程是“有效的”。
要求不可能 (Demanding the impossible)
IT companies often have a demanding list of requirements from potential employees, but it seems that IBM has recently asked for the impossible. In a new job advert, its Global Technology Services has been looking for someone with over a dozen years’ experience of working with Kubernetes.
IT公司通常会向潜在员工提出苛刻的要求清单,但是似乎IBM最近要求解决这一问题。 在一份新的招聘广告中,其全球技术服务部一直在寻找具有十年以上Kubernetes合作经验的人。
Although Kubernetes experience is good to have, it’s only been around for six years, so no-one has the required length of experience, not even the developers. Perhaps what it does go to show is that the people writing the job spec often select arbitrary numbers when asking for experience, something which, ultimately, shows their own lack of proficiency. If anyone is considering applying, the closing date is 2026.
尽管拥有Kubernetes经验很好,但是它只有6年左右的经验,因此没有人拥有所需的经验长度,甚至没有开发人员。 也许确实表明,写工作说明书的人在寻求经验时经常选择任意数字,这最终表明了他们自身的能力不足。 如果有人正在考虑申请,截止日期为2026年。
Gartner预测大流行对IT的影响 (Gartner predicts impact of pandemic on IT)
According to analyst firm, Gartner, global IT spending during 2020 is expected to slump 7% to £2.8 trillion. While it expects the investment to bounce back in 2021, things will not be the same. The pandemic and its aftermath will have caused long term damage to the revenue streams of many companies, meaning that a lot of the projects they had invested heavily in prior to the pandemic, will no-longer be viable.
根据分析公司Gartner的预测,2020年全球IT支出预计将下降7%,至2.8万亿英镑。 虽然它预计投资会在2021年反弹,但情况不会一样。 大流行及其后果将对许多公司的收入流造成长期损害,这意味着在大流行之前他们投入大量资金的许多项目将不再可行。
With GDP depressed globally and many markets remaining disrupted by social distancing and lockdowns, Gartner predicts companies will look at more creative ways to utilise IT. It is already seeing many companies ditching in-house software licences in favour of cloud-based SaaS and expects accelerated digital transformation to become widespread as companies strive to rebuild. A point backed up by Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, who said that, during spring 2020, the pandemic had led companies to undertake two years’ worth of digital transformations in just a couple of months.
Gartner预测,由于全球GDP处于低迷状态,许多市场仍然受到社会距离和封锁的影响,Gartner预测公司将寻求更具创造性的方式来利用IT。 已经看到许多公司放弃内部软件许可而转而使用基于云的SaaS,并期望随着公司努力进行重建,加速的数字化转型将变得广泛。 微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉(Satya Nadella)支持这一观点,他说,在2020年Spring,大流行导致公司在短短几个月内进行了两年的数字化转型。
