Как мы измеряем производительность NGFW

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Максим, я инженер команды Нагрузочного тестирования в Ideco. Вместе с командой мы развиваем Ideco NGFW Novum и регулярно гоняем его под синтетической нагрузкой - и для проверки регрессии по производительности, и чтобы честно отвечать на вопрос заказчика «а сколько он у вас держит».У производительности NGFW есть неудобное свойство: один и тот же межсетевой экран на двух разных стендах легко показывает разные числа - и оба теста...

Scrum — не серебряная пуля. Почему «натянутый» Scrum на несколько команд ломает продукт — и что работает вместо него

Есть фраза, от которой у меня до сих пор дёргается глаз: «Да там ничего сложного — просто раскатим Scrum на все команды». Обычно её уверенно произносит человек, который пару недель назад сходил на двухдневный курс, получил красивый сертификат — и теперь искренне считает, что понял, как устроена разработка.Пятнадцать лет в профессии, путь от инженера до директора разработки, до восьми команд над одним продуктом одновременно — и за это время я...

People who keep every voicemail from a parent long after that parent has died aren’t holding on unhealthily, they’ve discovered that a voice is the last part of someone the mind refuses to reconstruct on its own

Faces can be reassembled in the mind. Voices cannot. The research on sensory memory explains why the bereaved cling to old voicemails long after a parent is gone — and why that instinct is not pathological but protective. Read more

Старая архитектура, новые процессоры: зачем AMD продолжает выпускать Zen 2

Кажется, что в процессорном мире все идет строго по плану: вышла Zen 5, готовится следующее поколение, а сокет AM5 постепенно становится основной платформой AMD. На этом фоне немного странно видеть в продаже процессоры с архитектурой 2019 года. И речь не о складских остатках, а о вполне новых моделях.Вот наглядный пример — в марте 2026 года вышел Ryzen 7 4700LE. Восемь ядер, шестнадцать потоков, теплопакет 65 Вт, никакой встроенной графики и... Read more

Автостратегии Директа как задача ML на малых данных: почему 10 000 ₽ в неделю кампанию не обучат

Кампания с недельным бюджетом 10 000 ₽ в нише, где заявка стоит около 5 000, не обучится никогда — и автостратегия тут ни при чём. Ей просто не на чем учиться: за неделю она не наберёт даже двух заявок, а без набранных заявок look-alike нечем строить закономерность.

Представьте: вы пишете парсер, который обходит сотни миллионов URL. Каждую новую ссылку нужно проверить — посещали ли мы её раньше? Заводить гигабайтный хеш-набор для хранения всех адресов — расточительно и медленно.Но существует вероятностная структура данных, которая способна ответить на вопрос «видели ли мы этот URL?», занимая при этом в десятки раз меньше памяти, чем полное множество строк. Плата за такое — мизерная возможность ложноположительного срабатывания, где фильтр заявит что, хотя... Read more

От зефира до фаллоса: как Ридли Скотт спас «Чужого»

Доброго дня, дорогие читатели. Знаете ли вы, что ксеноморф из «Чужого» мог выглядеть как… зефирный человечек с голубыми глазами? Именно такого монстра предлагали студии Fox, пока на сцену не вышел Ридли Скотт с ультиматумом. Эта заметка — о том, как швейцарский сюрреалист Ханс Рудольф Гигер, капризное отношение студии и одно «фаллическое» решение на 65-й странице «Некрономикона» навсегда изменили историю научной кинофантастики. Итак… Читать далее Read more

Ericsson booked SEK 52.7bn of revenue in the second quarter, down 6% from SEK 56.1bn a year earlier, as weaker patent licensing income and currency movements outweighed growth in a handful of regional markets.
