Submission + - You don't need React to be reactive - djust 1.0 fully reactive python (djust.org)

Tip writes: djust brings the proven Phoenix LiveView model to Django: server-driven reactive UI in pure Python. Elixir's Phoenix and Laravel's Livewire proved the pattern works at scale. What's new is the execution: a Rust VDOM and template engine on the hot path so rendering stays sub-millisecond, a zero build step, and a security model built for the AI era. That combination has never existed for Django before.

Sounds like a lot of people on the hate apple bandwagon.

I bough mine the day it came out, and had to get it refitted as different light seals put pressure on different parts of the face. The one I had was putting pressure on my cheek bones, now it is much better. When I first tried it, I was blown away, but wasn't sure how much work I could do in it, and it can be awkward at first. But, the more I use it the more I like the device and I could see this being the future of computing, especially as the device get smaller. A lot of really awesome tech packed into this device.

Most people need some form of caffeine. I wonder how much of this is linked to people choosing coffee over sugary drinks with caffeine?

After Intel ME, Researchers Find Security Bug In AMD's SPS Secret Chip-on-Chip (bleepingcomputer.com) 76

Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday January 07, 2018 @04:34PM from the in-the-chips dept.

An anonymous reader writes: AMD has fixed, but not yet released BIOS/UEFI/firmware updates for the general public for a security flaw affecting the AMD Secure Processor. This component, formerly known as AMD PSP (Platform Security Processor), is a chip-on-chip security system, similar to Intel's much-hated Management Engine (ME). Just like Intel ME, the AMD Secure Processor is an integrated coprocessor that sits next to the real AMD64 x86 CPU cores and runs a separate operating system tasked with handling various security-related operations.

The security bug is a buffer overflow that allows code execution inside the AMD SPS TPM, the component that stores critical system data such as passwords, certificates, and encryption keys, in a secure environment and outside of the more easily accessible AMD cores. Intel fixed a similar flaw last year in the Intel ME.

Comment Waited at Walmart on the Eve of Aug 24th 1995 (Score 1) 284

I waited in Walmart the eve of Aug. 24th 1995. I bought Windows 95 and Plus for Windows 95. It wasn't that bad of an OS, much better than Windows 3.1 or 98. However, once they tried integrating IE into the OS to kill Netscape it drove me away from them and I returned to Linux and X Windows. Windows may have looked fancy, but it wasn't productive for me, when I opened a shell I felt like I was stuck in a small pond, compared to the sea of options available in a Linux shell.

Dead Pigs Used To Investigate Ocean's "Dead Zones" 106

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday March 04, 2010 @03:55PM from the big-ocean-long-pig dept.

timothy writes "As places to study what happens to corpses, the Atlantic Ocean is both much larger and much more specialized than the famous 'body farm' in Knoxville, TN. But for all kinds of good reasons, sending human bodies into Davy Jones' locker just to see where they float and how they bloat is unpopular. Pigs don't pay taxes, and more importantly, they don't vote. So Canadian scientists have taken to using them as human-body proxies, to study what happens when creatures of similar size and hairlessness (aka, us) end up 86ed and in the drink."

Leak Shows US Lead Opponent of ACTA Transparency 164

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 25, 2010 @04:31PM from the putting-on-an-acta dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Throughout the debate over ACTA transparency, the secret copyright treaty, many countries have taken public positions that they support release of the actual text, but that other countries do not. Since full transparency requires consensus of all the ACTA partners, the text simply can't be released until everyone is in agreement. A new leak from the Netherlands fingers who the chief opponents of transparency are: the United States, South Korea, Singapore, and Denmark lead the way, with Belgium, Germany, and Portugal not far behind as problem countries."

Creating Electric Power From Light Using Gold Nanoparticles 77

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday February 23, 2010 @12:16PM from the nanite-power-supply dept.

cyberfringe writes "Professor of Materials Science Dawn Bonnell and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a way to turn optical radiation into electrical current that could lead to self-powering molecular circuits and efficient data storage. They create surface plasmons that ride the surface of gold nanoparticles on a glass substrate. Surface plasmons were found to increase the efficiency of current production by a factor of four to 20, and with many independent parameters to optimize, enhancement factors could reach into the thousands. 'If the efficiency of the system could be scaled up without any additional, unforeseen limitations, we could conceivably manufacture a 1A, 1V sample the diameter of a human hair and an inch long,' Prof. Bonnell explained. The academic paper was published in the current issue of ACS Nano. (Abstract available for free.) The significance? This may allow the creation of nano-sized circuits that can power themselves through sunlight (or another directed light source). Delivery of power to nanodevices is one of the big challenges in the field."

kkleiner writes "Singularity Hub has just unveiled its second annual roundup of the best robots of the year. In 2009 robots continued their advance towards world domination with several impressive breakouts in areas such as walking, automation, and agility, while still lacking in adaptability and reasoning ability. It will be several years until robots can gain the artificial intelligence that will truly make them remarkable, but in the meantime they are still pretty awesome."

Feds Seek Input On Cookie Policy For Government Web Sites 74

suraj.sun sends along this quote from Information Week: "The government wants to use cookies to offer more personalized web sites to citizens and better analytics to Webmasters. ... The federal government has drafted changes to its outdated restrictions on HTTP cookies, and wants the public's input. Under the plan, detailed in a blog post by federal CIO Vivek Kundra and... Michael Fitzpatrick, federal agencies would be able to use cookies as long as their use is lawful, citizens can opt out of being tracked, notice of the use of cookies is posted on the Web site, and Web sites don't limit access to information for those who opt out. ... The Office of Management and Budget is considering three separate tiers of cookie usage that will likely have different restrictions for each, based on privacy risks. The first tier of sites would use single-session technologies, the second multi-session technologies for use in analytics only, and the third for multi-session cookies that are used to remember data or settings 'beyond what is needed for web analytics.'"

Are RAID Controllers the Next Data Center Bottleneck? 171

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday July 25, 2009 @12:23PM from the many-varied-pipes dept.

storagedude writes "This article suggests that most RAID controllers are completely unprepared for solid state drives and parallel file systems, all but guaranteeing another I/O bottleneck in data centers and another round of fixes and upgrades. What's more, some unnamed RAID vendors don't seem to even want to hear about the problem. Quoting: 'Common wisdom has held until now that I/O is random. This may have been true for many applications and file system allocation methodologies in the recent past, but with new file system allocation methods, pNFS and most importantly SSDs, the world as we know it is changing fast. RAID storage vendors who say that IOPS are all that matters for their controllers will be wrong within the next 18 months, if they aren't already.'"
