NASA launching a planet researching spacecraft to search for worlds beyond our solar system that orbit other stars. The exoplanet survey satellite is called „TESS“.
It shall scan nearly the entire sky to discover planets around the closest and brightest stars.
MeltdownPrime and SpectrePrime: Automatically-Synthesized Attacks Exploiting Invalidation-Based Coherence Protocols
"The recent Meltdown [9] and Spectre [8] attacks highlight
the importance of automated verification techniques for identifying hardware security vulnerabilities. We have developed a tool for automatically synthesizing microarchitecture-specific programs capable of producing any user-specified hardware execution pattern of interest."
we’re right in the transition period of switching to higher pixel density devices, until we completely switch over to infinite scalable graphics with small file sizes only it will still take some time, but maybe not too long :) and in the very near future we may focus on hi-res graphics only without the need to worry about standard-resolution images anymore.
yep, also regarding the web, as it goes more in the direction of supporting vector images in the browser by using svg files and icons fonts for example, it will hopefully become easier soon.
