The non-volatile storage contained sensitive information, including system configur

GitHub не умирает — но AI-агенты уже строят себе другой GitHub

За пару недель сразу три игрока почти синхронно заявили одно: привычный код-хостинг не выдерживает AI-агентов. Cursor выкатил Origin (Git-совместимый forge под агентов, на базе Graphite), Zed — DeltaDB (версионировать не коммиты, а поток дельт и разговор с агентом), GitLab — Project Switch. Разбираю без хайпа «GitHub умер»: почему commit/PR-модель буксует на параллельных агентах (Натан Собо из Zed: «софт делается между коммитами»), три разные ставки на замену, почему GitHub при этом...

Проект, от которого все отказались, за полгода принёс +234% выручки. Секрет: я не стал делать вид, что работа сама идёт

Мне передали 5 проектов сопровождения. Продакты хотели их закрыть — «мелко, мало денег». Команду дёргали с основных задач на эти факультативы с непонятной загрузкой, работали по выходным без бонусов. Заказчики ждали доработок месяцами, а получали не то. Систему всерьёз собирались менять.Через 6 месяцев: +234% выручки, команда выросла с 2 до 6 человек на фултайм, планы работ — на год/полтора вперёд, заказчики сами инициируют новые соглашения.Никакой магии.

Trump Admin Backs Off Plans To Kill Ocean Monitoring

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: In May, the federal government announced without warning that it would take apart a network of ocean monitoring systems that it had spent over $350 million to build. No reason was given for the decision to shut down the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), but suspicion immediately focused on the network's role in tracking climate change. But the OOI also provides data... Read more

Honor Watch 6 in for review

Fresh off its unveiling, we've got the Honor Watch 6, and it's about as easy a recommendation as a wearable could be.

An Algorithm Determines How Fast You Should Drive On California's I-15 Freeway

Riverside County has launched an 8-mile "smart freeway" pilot on northbound I-15 near Temecula, using roadway sensors and an algorithm to coordinate ramp meters and suggest speeds rather than widening the freeway. Officials say the $33 million project could reduce stop-and-go traffic and travel times. According to SFGATE, similar systems in Australia and Denver reportedly cutting delays by 20% to 65%.
