Age verification became mandatory for chat access on Roblox in January — and Friday morning Quartz reported it's apparently impacted the company's financials:
Roblox cut its full-year 2026 bookings forecast by roughly $900 million at the midpoint on Thursday, blaming stronger-than-expected headwinds from its mandatory age-verification rollout on an audience that skews heavily toward children and teenagers. Full-year 2026 bookings are now projected at $7.33 billion to $7.60 billion, a range that sits rough

I was at my parents’ house in London a few years ago, sometime in the strange middle of an afternoon, and my mother went out to the shops. She said she’d be about an hour. She closed the front door. The house went quiet. My father was in the living room. I was in the ... Read more Read more ›

Я раньше был уверен, что понимаю, как работает отслеживание в интернете. Очистил cookies - чист. Включил VPN - спрятался. Поставил блокировщик - стал почти невидимым. Звучит логично, правда?Проблема в том, что всё это работает только на уровне, который уже давно не является основным.Современные сайты не обязательно знают, кто ты. Им это и не нужно. Достаточно собрать достаточно признаков, чтобы отличить тебя от всех остальных. Версия браузера, разрешение экрана, поведение мыши,... Read more ›

Знакомая история: команда полгода шлифовала функционал, тестировщики уничтожили все баги, а пользователи уходят. Аналитик разводит руками, поддержка задыхается от тикетов, маркетинг угрожает продакту, а продакт – дизайнеру. В это время CFO считает расходы и грустно вздыхает. Больно видеть, как много появляется на рынке таких продуктов, прошедших технические проверки и проваливших испытание пользовательским опытом. Идеально работающих, но никому не нужных. Что делать, чтобы не войти в их число? Читать далее Read more ›

![[Перевод] FastCGI исполнилось 30 лет, и он до сих пор лучше HTTP для прокси-к-бэкенду](https://times42.com/media/3/5/5/12372355_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] FastCGI исполнилось 30 лет, и он до сих пор лучше HTTP для прокси-к-бэкенду")
Знаете, кому 29 апреля стукнуло 30 лет? Спецификации FastCGI. Тридцать лет с 1996 года. Погодите. Эта заметка не про ностальгию по .fcgi-скриптам, которые на каждый запрос форкали отдельный процесс и которыми сегодня никто не пользуется. И не про CGI вообще.Разговор о другом. У нас всех в проде между прокси и бэкендом обычно стоит HTTP. nginx перед Go-приложением, Caddy перед Python-сервисом, Apache перед PHP-FPM, неважно, поверх там HTTP/1.1 или HTTP/2. И... Read more ›

Всем привет! На связи Антон Воробьёв — архитектор в Альфа-Банке. Некоторое время назад у нас появился нативный порт C-клиента librdkafka, который сделали наши коллеги из компании BTC. Чтобы порт работал быстрее, мы допортировали последнюю на тот момент версию librdkafka 2.3, разобрались с оптимизациями под нашу специфичную ОС, починили все юнит-автотесты в её составе, сделали свои, и внедрили в июне 2024 года.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from VentureBeat: The whale has resurfaced. DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup offshoot of High-Flyer Capital Management quantitative analysis firm, became a near-overnight sensation globally in January 2025 with the release of its open source R1 model that matched proprietary U.S. giants. It's been an epoch in AI since then, and while DeepSeek has released several updates to that model and its other V3 series,... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: When the Call Federal Credit Union outside Richmond, Va., was robbed at gunpoint in 2019, the suspect took $195,000 from the bank's vault and fled before the police arrived.

BrianFagioli writes: Notepad++ has finally made its way to macOS, and this time it is not through a compatibility layer. A new community-driven port brings the long-standing Windows text editor over as a fully native Mac application, built with Cocoa and compiled for both Apple Silicon and Intel systems. Instead of relying on Wine or similar tools, the project replaces the Windows-specific interface with a macOS-native one while keeping the... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In January, the European Commission began an initial investigation, known as a specification proceeding, into how Google has implemented AI in the Android operating system. The results are in, and the EU says Android needs to be more open, which is not surprising. Meanwhile, Google says this amounts to "unwarranted intervention," which is equally unsurprising. Regardless of Google's characterization of the... Read more ›
