В экосистеме современного C++ прочно укоренилось мнение: классический динамический полиморфизм через виртуальные функции (vtable) и наследование — это устаревший, медленный и недружелюбный к кэшу процессора механизм. В качестве «серебряной пули» модно предлагать связку std::variant и std::visit. Если вы спросите любого виртуального умника (ИИ) он до последнего будет убеждать вас что std::variant и std::visit всегда(!) лучше чем виртуальные функции, даже не сомневайтесь. Проблема в том что с таким отношением Read more ›

Commodore is making a phone that isn't a full-on smartphone, nor is it a dumbphone. It straddles the line in a very obviously nostalgia-baiting fashion.

Commodore International Corporation (CIC), which now owns the brand, was established last year by Christian Simpson, a tech YouTuber who is the CEO. He's brought on some ex-employees... Read more ›

4 июня 2026 вышла PostgreSQL 19 Beta 1. Все пишут про графовые запросы SQL/PGQ, но главная операционная новость в другом: в ядро завезли команду REPACK с неблокирующей опцией CONCURRENTLY — перепаковку раздутых таблиц без ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock и без внешнего pg_repack. Разбираю по официальному анонсу и release notes: как это работает (спойлер — через слоты репликации, отсюда max_repack_replication_slots), чем отличается от VACUUM FULL и pg_repack, и что именно стоит прогнать...

Case in point: the Trump administration’s warnings to Anthropic over the weekend that no foreigners, including foreign employees of Anthropic, could access its latest AI models without permission.While that warning is...

Commonwealth Fusion has published five peer-reviewed papers laying out the physics case for ARC, its planned 400 MW fusion power plant, which would follow the company's smaller SPARC tokamak now under construction. The papers suggest ARC could produce more energy than it consumes using high-temperature superconducting magnets, molten-salt heat extraction, and 15-minute fusion pulses. Ars Technica reports: ARC will be a tokamak that hosts fusion between hydrogen's two heavier isotopes,... Read more ›
