Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce ...

Pretty Much All Computer Code Can Be Hijacked by Newly Discovered ‘Trojan Source’ Exploit A new research paper shows that all of the world's computer code is vulnerable to one particular exploit.

A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and ...

The compiler takes the source code you’ve written, in a language such as C, and translates it into an executable program: a file consisting of machine code that the computer understands.

This then gets translated into machine code that a computer can run—a level up from the 0 s and 1 s of binary.

Intel unveils ControlFlag, a machine programming research system that can autonomously detect errors in software code.

Did you know that you already speak fluent machine code? Turns out human language is now computer programming code. So says none other than Nvidia's outspoken CEO, Jensen Huang.

OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor said that the computer science degree's greatest value is teaching "systems thinking" in the age of AI code editors.

Even as he grows older, Microsoft founder Bill Gates still fondly remembers the catalytic computer code he wrote 50 years ago that opened up a new frontier in technology. Although the code that Gates ...
