Publicly funded nuclear fusion laboratories are experiencing competition from the private sector, giving new energy to the field. A large part of the academic research undertaken by physicists is, in one way or another, driven by the pursuit of practical applications. But actual, sellable products based on ideas explored in academia are rarely designed, let alone produced, in universities or research institutes. Rather, this typically happens, as soon as a proof of concept has been demonstrated, in start-up companies spun off from research organizations or completely independent ones. In certain technological sectors — electronics and biotechnology are good… Source link

Sophos, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has revealed an attack by the Cring ransomware operators against a target after hacking a server running an unpatched, 11-year-old version of Adobe’s ColdFusion 9 software.The target used the server to collect timesheet and accounting data for payroll and to host multiple virtual machines. The attackers breached the internet-facing server in minutes and executed the ransomware 79 hours later. “Devices running vulnerable, outdated software are low-hanging-fruit for cyberattackers looking for an easy way into a target,” said Andrew Brandt, principal researcher at Sophos. “In the incident we researched, the target was a services company, and all it took to break in was one… Source link

As a native Southern Californian, I’ve made the drive between Las Vegas and my hometown of Huntington Beach dozens of times over the years. When traffic is light on Interstate 15, it’s heaven, especially for a leadfoot like me. I’ve set personal land speed records, but not always without incident. It was on the 15 that I received two traffic citations on the same day, less than 30 minutes apart, traveling faster the second time, in a friend’s wife’s minivan. But when there’s an accident or traffic is heavy, the drive can be a hellishly long, 275-mile slog through the desert. And with just two lanes for the 113 miles between Primm and Barstow, nearly anything can clog traffic, from ill-mannered, slow-moving drivers hogging the left lane to big-rig truckers trying to… Source link

Introduction Adobe ColdFusion is a web development tool that gives developers the ability to develop and deploy cloud-native applications with ease. In this post, we will demonstrate how you can run your Adobe ColdFusion applications on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)  with AWS Fargate, as well as, use AWS CodeDeploy to perform blue/green deployments. By containerizing your web application, you can break apart monolithic applications, accelerate your software development, and modernize your deployment practices using automation. AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, giving you… Source link
