"Canonical is no longer pretending that 4GB is enough," writes the blog How-to-Geek, noting Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "raises the baseline memory to 6GB, alongside a 2GHz dual-core processor, and 25GB of storage..." Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) set the floor at 1GB — a modest ask when it launched more than a decade ago in 2014. Then came the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) that pushed the number to 4GB,...

Когда наши горячо любимые вожди в очередной раз заводят разговоры о том, что для экономического прорыва людям нужно просто работать дольше и без лишних вопросов, всегда за кадром остаётся одна фундаментальная проблема. Технологическая конкуренция XXI века все меньше зависит от того, сколько часов человек способен простоять у станка, и все больше - от того, кто быстрее внедряет автоматизацию, переобучает кадры и встраивается в глобальные производственные цепочки.Человека можно заставить работать дольше....

A 42-core SKU from the upcoming Nova Lake-S CPU family has reportedly been upgraded to 44 cores by swapping the 6P+12E tile with an 8P+12E tile, allowing the chip to achieve symmetry across its dual-tile config. Those leftover 6P+12E tiles could now become locked variants with 144 MB of bLLC as a new 22-core SKU (6P+12E+4LPE). Read more ›

Всё началось на второй паре по системному программированию. Нам дали задачу: написать CLI-утилиту для анализа логов - парсить файл, фильтровать записи по уровню ошибок, считать статистику, выводить красиво в консоль. "Ну понятно", - открыл я vim и началось мое долгое приключение...Неделя. Две. Утилита называлась logz, она умела читать логи nginx и apache, фильтровать по уровню (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR), по дате, по IP, выводила топ адресов с наибольшим числом ошибок,... Read more ›

Не так давно мы с удовольствием рассуждали, какую портативную консоль из Китая купить, чтобы с большим удовольствием окунуться в ретро-гейминг, и даже больше, показывали варианты и цены. А потом кризис добрался и до них.Сейчас почти все флагманские компании так или иначе сокращают производство, убирают устройства с продажи, поднимают цены и в целом делают всё, чтобы усложнить жизнь простому геймеру.В таком случае что мы делаем? Правильно, смотрим в сторону настоящих игровых... Read more ›

How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's: A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more ›

In many rural areas, America's online shoppers can wait half a week or more for deliveries. But Amazon started a $4 billion "rural delivery push" last year, reports Bloomberg, and has now cut delivery times to under 24 hours for 1 in 5 rural and small-town households, with 48-hour delivery to 62% of rural households. The payoff could be huge. Rural shoppers in the US collectively spend $1 trillion a... Read more ›

But "it's still far from certain what this defeat will change," argues The Verge's senior tech and policy editor, "and what the collateral damage could be." If these decisions survive appeal — which isn't certain — the direct outcome would be multimillion-dollar penalties. Depending on the outcome of several more "bellwether" cases in... Read more ›
