Psychology says the loneliest form of love isn’t being unloved its being adored for a version of yourself you’ve been performing so long that the real you has started to feel like the imposter

A while back, Mal and I were having drinks on a rooftop in Saigon, watching the city lights flicker on across the river. He said something I haven’t stopped thinking about. “The worst kind of lonely isn’t being alone. It’s being loved for someone you’re not even sure exists anymore.” That hit me hard. Because ...

Помните 30-контактные SIMM? Полная история RAM: от первых планок до 512 ГБ DDR5

В 1981 году IBM PC 5150 поставлялся с 16 или 64 КБ оперативной памяти, а максимальная конфигурация ограничивалась 640 КБ — архитектурным барьером первого поколения процессоров Intel. Сегодня флагманские десктопы и серверы оснащаются 192 ГБ DDR5-памяти. Это рост в 300 000 раз за четыре десятилетия.

Главный миф о поддержке ИТ. Как не купить хаос за свои же деньги

В малом и среднем бизнесе ИТ-аутсорсинг часто начинается не с аудита и архитектуры, а с подписания абонентского договора. В результате подрядчик тонет в заявках, а инфраструктура продолжает работать как попало. При этом владелец бизнеса ждет от «поддержки» и починку вчерашних проблем, и построение завтрашних сервисов в рамках одной фиксированной платы. Через несколько месяцев становится ясно, что количество инцидентов растет, а риски не уменьшаются. Читать далее Read more
