Clojure is a dynamic and functional dialect of the Lisp programming language on the Java platform. Like other Lisp dialects, Clojure treats code as data and has a Lisp macro system. The current development process is community-driven, overseen by Rich Hickey as its benevolent dictator for life.



 Necessity to Use Clojure

*  It is a powerful, coherent, and simple tool consisting of a set of useful features.

*  It provides a dynamic environment to interact with. Most of the language constructs in Clojure can be changed, and thus a program can be grown by loading the data, adding the features, fixing bugs, testing in an unbroken stream.

*  It belongs to the Lisp family of languages adding the features code as data and macrosystem to Clojure.

*  The multithreaded programming is simplified in Clojure because of the immutable data structures sharing between the threads.

*  Clojure provides Certail tools to avoid mutable state functions provided as first-class objects and side effect-based looping replaced by recursive iteration.

*  A flexible, powerful, and simple mechanism is provided by Clojure to support run-time polymorphism. Systems using run-time polymorphism can be changed and extended easily.

*  It shares the JVM type system, threads, etc., and hence it is a hosted language whose functions are compiled bytecode in JVM. Clojure supports the dynamic implementation of interfaces and classes in Java.

Tools

Tooling for Clojure development has seen significant improvement over the years. The following is a list of some popular IDEs and text editors with plug-ins that add support for programming in Clojure:[

·       Atom, with Chlorine

·       Emacs, with CIDER

·       IntelliJ IDEA, with Clojure-Kit or Cursive (a free license is available for non-commercial use)

·       Light Table

·       Vim, with fireplace.vim, vim-iced, or Conjure (Neovim only)

·       Visual Studio Code, with Calva or Clover

ETHICAL HACKING - WHITE HAT HACKER

                                                             ETHICAL HACKING -  WHITE HAT TECHNIQUES A white hat hacker, also known as an ethical hacker, is a cybersecurity professional who uses their skills and knowledge in hacking to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in computer systems, networks, or applications. White hat hackers have permission from the organization to conduct security testing, and they work within the boundaries of legal and ethical frameworks. Their primary goal is to help organizations improve their security by discovering and reporting these vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers use various tools, techniques, and methodologies to simulate real-world cyberattacks and assess the target system's security posture. They often collaborate with the organization's IT and security teams to remediate the identifi...

Radio Waves

  Introduction of Radio Waves Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared light. They have frequencies ranging from about 3 Hz to 300 GHz and are widely used in communication systems, including radio broadcasting, television signals, mobile phones, satellite transmissions, and Wi-Fi networks . Properties of Radio Waves: Long Wavelengths – They range from millimetres to hundreds of kilometres in length. Low Energy – Compared to other electromagnetic waves like X-rays or ultraviolet rays, radio waves have lower energy. Ability to Travel Long Distances – Radio waves can propagate over large distances, making them ideal for communication. Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction – They can bounce off surfaces, bend around obstacles, and spread out after passing through narrow openings. Uses of Radio Waves: Communication: AM/FM radio, television, mobile phones, and walkie-tal...

Semantic Technology

Semantic Technology Semantic technology uses formal semantics to help AI systems understand language and process information the way humans do. Thus, they are able to store, manage and retrieve information based on meaning and logical relationships. Various businesses are already using semantic technology and semantic graph databases such as Ontotext's GraphDB to manage their content, repurpose and reuse information, cut costs and gain new revenue streams. Semantic Technology uses formal semantics to give meaning to the disparate data that surrounds us. Together with  Linked Data  technology, it builds relationships between data in various formats and sources, from one string to another, helping create context. Interlinked in this way, these pieces of raw data form a giant web of data or a  knowledge graph , which connects a vast amount of descriptions of entities and concepts of general importance. Semantic Technology defines and links data on the Web (or within an enter...
