Pi has been calculated to trillions of digits, but is it completely irrational?
Pi, an irrational number, has no end. But computer engineers are still chasing the eternal string of decimal places deep into the unknown. Recently, technology media company StorageReview set an incredible new record by calculating 314 trillion digits of Pi on a single Dell PowerEdge R7725 server that ran continuously for almost four months. This […]
GlassWorm supply chain attack exploits 72 open VSX extensions to target developers
Cybersecurity researchers have warned of a new iteration of the GlassWorm campaign, claiming that it has “significantly expanded” its method of spread through the Open VSX registry. “Rather than requiring loaders to be directly embedded in every malicious list, threat actors are now exploiting extensionPack and extensionDependency to turn extensions that initially appear standalone into […]
