A Roman shipwreck found off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901 held a corroded bronze device with dozens of interlocking gears, and X-ray scans later revealed it was an analogue computer built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and the positions of planets.

Sponge divers found a corroded bronze lump in a Roman shipwreck off Antikythera in 1901. X-ray scans revealed at least 30 interlocking gears built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and planetary positions — a mechanical computer 1,400 years ahead of anything comparable.

Кешируем отдачу картинок в .NET MVC Core

Всем привет. В этой статье хочу поделиться опытом добавления клиентского кеширования картинок в ASP.NET MVC Core приложении. В мире SaaS экономия машинных ресурсов - актуальная задача, которая тем актуальнее, чем больше клиентов обслуживается на "единицу железа" (если можно так выразиться). Традиционно, генерация и отдача картинок на бэкенде - достаточно CPU и memory-емкие операции, и добавление клиентского кеша с помощью HTTP заголовков Cache-Control помогает снизить нагрузку на железо.

ЦОДам в Москве отказывают в сети, они вынуждены строить электростанции

В феврале «Ведомости» фактически подтвердили то, о чём участники рынка говорили уже давно: получить новые мощности для строительства ЦОДов в Москве становится всё сложнее. В ряде случаев речь уже идёт не о затянутых согласованиях, а о прямых отказах в техприсоединении. По оценкам участников рынка, значительная часть районов столицы испытывает дефицит свободной мощности, а многие площадки, введённые в 2023–2024 годах, заполнены практически полностью. На этом фоне за последний год заметно выросли... Read more

YaFF в опенсорсе: как и зачем мы сделали zero‑copy представление для Protobuf

Чтение сериализованных данных — это инфраструктурный налог, который платит каждый сервис при получении информации из внешних источников, например по сети или с диска. В индустрии для схематизированных данных стандартом де‑факто стал Protobuf, и чаще всего этот налог выражается в существенных затратах CPU на его парсинг. В продвинутых случаях парсинг пытаются заменить на значительно более дешёвую, но при этом куда менее удобную работу с zero‑copy представлением FlatBuffers.Мы открыли исходники YaFF (Yet... Read more

Harvard psychologists tracked 2,250 people through their days and found that nearly half their waking hours were spent thinking about something other than what they were doing — and that wandering away from the present moment was a stronger predictor of unhappiness than any activity they were engaged in

A 2010 Harvard study used an iPhone app to sample 2,250 people in the moment. Minds wandered 46.9 per cent of the time, and where attention went predicted momentary happiness better than the activity itself. A careful read of what the study shows, and what it does not. Read more

MIT Media Lab and OpenAI tracked nearly 1,000 ChatGPT users for four weeks, but the early finding cut against the comfort the chatbot promised — heavier daily use was tied to more loneliness and emotional dependence

When Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific in 1969, the recovered astronauts were sealed in a quarantine trailer for weeks because nobody could rule out lunar microbes, while around their capsule the ocean teemed with creatures far stranger than anything feared from the Moon

In July 1969, Apollo 11's crew was sealed in an Airstream trailer for 21 days while NASA tested moon rocks for life that wasn't there — meanwhile, the ocean beneath their splashdown site held vampire squid, 40-meter siphonophores, and single-celled organisms the size of dinner plates. Read more

In 1994, a New South Wales park ranger abseiled into a hidden canyon outside Sydney and found a grove of conifers last seen in the fossil record 90 million years ago. The Wollemi pine's wild location remains undisclosed — and for biological reasons that have nothing to do with theatre. Read more

The empty-nest narrative ends too soon. The lonelier stretch comes after — in the early 50s, when nobody in the house is being raised anymore and the cognitive patterns of the next thirty years are quietly being set. Read more
