"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, surviving quite well in the era of 16GB being considered standard for mid-range laptops.... Ubuntu's new minim

Меня зацепила одна штука. Тот VPN, который у меня нормально работал ещё зимой, к марту перестал коннектиться вообще. У знакомого работает. У него МегаФон, у меня МТС.Это повторяется каждые пару недель: статус «работает или нет» зависит от оператора, от региона, от часа суток. У одного и того же сервиса. Я держу маленький Telegram-чат, где помогаю людям с настройкой ключей. Самый частый вопрос там уже почти год не «как настроить», а... Read more ›

Знакомая ситуация? Вы наняли специалиста — копирайтера, дизайнера, верстальщика, разработчика. И теперь он просит написать ему ТЗ. Объяснить что именно вы хотите, в каком формате, с какими требованиями, в каком стиле.И вот вы сидите перед пустым документом и понимаете: непонятно с чего начать.Что написать первым? Как описать тональность? Какие блоки должны быть? Что зафиксировать жёстко, а что оставить на усмотрение исполнителя? Как сделать документ, который выглядит профессионально — не как... Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! В условиях импортозамещения и ухода западных вендоров перед крупными холдингами остро встает вопрос быстрой замены тяжелых корпоративных систем продуктами из линейки 1С. Один из самых болезненных участков бизнеса — трансформация и консолидация МСФО/УУ отчетности. Исторически сложилось, что связка 1С (оперативный учет) → Excel → SAP BW → Excel → МСФО была стандартом для многих крупных компаний.Мы, команда практиков внедрения 1С, хотим поделиться опытом, как заменить SAP.BW в контуре...

There’s a person in your life who seems to have it all figured out. They wake up early without drama, they exercise consistently, they eat well, they don’t seem to spiral when things get hard.

It's the U.S. government's main link to the AI industry, reports The Washington Post, working to assess national security risks of new models like Anthropic's "Mythos". To run it they'd hired Collin Burns, who'd worked at OpenAI and then Anthropic. But Burns started work Monday at the Center for AI Standards and Innovation — and then "was pushed out Thursday by the White House, according to the people, who spoke... Read more ›

Beneath East Africa’s Turkana Rift, scientists have found the crust is thinning to a critical point, suggesting the continent is gradually breaking apart. This “necking” process marks an advanced stage of rifting that could eventually lead to a new ocean forming millions of years from now. Surprisingly, the same geological forces that are splitting the land may also explain why the region holds such a rich fossil record. Instead of... Read more ›

Попытки превратить практику управления в науку существуют очень давно - можно сказать, как минимум со времён Древнего Китая, однако и по сей день менеджмент остаётся скорее искусством. Но во второй половине двадцатого века проблемы управления попытались решить строго научным образом. Так появилась кибернетика - наука, от которой сегодня остались лишь небольшие лингвистические артефакты. В этой статье мы исследует основную проблематику управления, проследим тот путь, которым кибернетика прошла от «новой наде Read more ›

Игра — один из наиболее универсальных и интересных способов знакомства со сложными концепциями и взаимосвязями. Тема обучающих игр для программистов на Хабре популярна и хорошо разобрана в отдельных статьях (особенно в корпоративных блогах). Я бы отметил работы уважаемой Дарьи @t3chnowolf в блоге компании «МТС», затрагивающие эту тему, в частности, «5 обучающих игр для разработчиков» (почти 29 500 просмотров) и «Обучающие игры для разработчиков: кодим, играя» (более 24 000 просмотров).

Slashdot reader smazsyr writes: A new review says we've had fructose wrong for decades. The nine authors, led by Richard Johnson at the University of Colorado Anschutz, argue that fructose "is not just another calorie." It is a signal. It tells the liver to make fat and brace for a famine that never comes. That made sense for a bear fattening up on autumn berries. It makes less sense for... Read more ›

Wednesday BleepingComputer reported that more than 30 WordPress plugins "have been compromised with malicious code that allows unauthorized access to websites running them." A malicious actor planted the backdoor code last year but only recently started pushing it to users via updates, generating spam pages and causing redirects, as per the instructions received from the command-and-control (C2) server. The compromise affects plugins with hundreds of thousands of active installations and... Read more ›

Yesterday the U.S. Congress approved "a short-term extension" of a FISA law that allows wiretaps without a warrant for surveilling foreign targets, reports CNN — but only until April 30. Republican congressional leaders had sought an 18-month extension, but "failed to secure" the votes after "clamoring from some of their members for reforms to protect Americans' privacy." The warrantless surveillance law, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance... Read more ›

"From 2008 to 2024, the number of four-year computer science degrees granted rose about fivefold..." reports the Washington Post.

Back in the 1990s, floppy disks "had a mere capacity of 1.44MB," remembers XDA Developers, "which would soon become absolutely tiny for the increasingly large pieces of software that would come about." Floppy disks also felt quite fragile, and while we got "superfloppy" formats that were physically larger and had more capacity, those were pretty unwieldy as portable storage. Enter 1994, when a company called Iomega introduced its variant of... Read more ›

A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement," making him a pillar of the growing backlash against the corporate harvesting of human... Read more ›
