Threat modeling is a great starting point to understand the risks associated with IoT systems. The challenge with this trend is that IoT devices are just computers →

When you think about microservices-architected, there’s a wide range of, I guess you could say opinions, about what that means. In this age of DevOps and cloud-native development, the software →

https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/the-smarter-grid/what-causes-cascading-power-grid-failures Scientists have pinpointed vulnerable transmission lines in the North American grid that could lead to massive blackouts, helping prevent them in the future. “In the North American power grid, the set of power lines that are susceptible to failures were found to represent a surprisingly small fraction of the whole network →
http://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-totally-dominates-supercomputers/ “All 500 of the world’s fastest supercomputers are running Linux” Linux rules supercomputing. This day has been coming since 1998. Before Linux took the lead, Unix was supercomputing’s top operating system. Now it seems that it will take a hardware revolution, such as quantum computing, to shake Linux’s supercomputing grip. To this day, the Beowulf design remains →
