Venus' Strange Rotation Was Likely Triggered By a High Velocity Moon-Sized Impactor

New simulations suggest Venus' extremely slow backward rotation may have been triggered by a high-angle collision with a fast-moving object roughly one-tenth its mass. The impact could have dramatically altered Venus' spin and melted nearly its entire mantle. Universe Today reports: Venus' bizarre and extraordinarily slow retrograde rotation on its axis has long puzzled planetary scientists.

Бенчмаркая Regex: конструктор показал 10 мкс, первый вызов — 1307

Проверить строку регулярным выражением в .NET можно по-разному, но совет всегда один: включите RegexOptions.Compiled или возьмите генератор. Замеры это подтверждают.А вот подготовка выражения оказалась не там, где её меряют: конструктор занимает 10 микросекунд, а первая же проверка на этом объекте — ещё 1307. Разобрался, куда уходит разница, и заодно нашёл границу, на которой статический Regex.IsMatch резко замедляется. Читать далее Read more

Мой сетап домашнего медиа сервера

С момента как появился домашний сервер было желание сделать нормальный медиа сервер - чтобы по красоте смотреть фильмы и сериалы в 4K, без костылей.Хотелось свести получение любого фильма или сериала к одному действию: нашёл → нажал «скачать» → посмотрел.
