Node’s npm carries over 210,000 packages from over 60,000 contributors. This wealth of open source functionality is awesome, but it also carries risk. You’re running a stranger’s code inside your applications. Do you know which packages you’re running? Do you know if their authors understand or care about security? Do you know if they have vulnerabilities? EVENT: JS Nation 2019 SPEAKER: Jarrod Overson PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS JS Nations Organizer provided Coding Tech with the permission to republish this video.

People who grew up in the 80s were surrounded by stories of the new, exciting digital age. Now in their 40s, some of those who came of age listening to Britpop now head up successful tech companies, while others took a different path and are now embarking on second careers as coders. Suze, a former marketing manager-turned-Met Police surveillance expert, shares her journey to becoming a software engineer in the year she turned 40 and discovering how things have moved on since programming her BBC Micro on the one TV in the house.

Floppy drives, hard drives and SSD's could soon be replaced by DNA storage. But why is it so much better? And what are the challenges before we can use DNA as storage media? Let's take a look! Current storage techniques have 3 problems: they are not robust, have a low density and each media requires a special reader. DNA could solve all of these problems. It's very robust (it can easily last a few centuries), it's very high density (storing many petabytes of data per gram) and we already have readers for it. 🎬Take a look behind the scenes
