The power of a quantum computer is measured in qubits, the basic unit of measurement in a quantum computer. Source. I facepalm every time I read a phrase like this. This did not lead to any good; my vision began to fade; I'll have to turn to Meklon soon. I think it’s time to somewhat systematize the basic parameters of a quantum computer. There are several of them: Number of qubits Coherence holding time (decoherence time) Error level Processor architecture […]
In this article we will consider the algorithm and results of analyzing large areas without restrictions on their boundaries, using the method of thermal potentials and the method of principal components. As source information, preference was given to open data, primarily from OSM. The study was carried out on the territory of 40 subjects of the European part of the Russian Federation, as a single whole with a total area of 1.8 million sq. km. […]

On July 1, 2019, the release of GNU Rush 2.0 was announced. GNU Rush is a Restricted User Shell designed to provide stripped-down, non-interactive access to remote resources via ssh (eg GNU Savannah). Flexible configuration gives system administrators full control over the capabilities that are available to users, as well as control over the use of system resources such as virtual […]
There is a new addition to the Delta Amplon family - the manufacturer has introduced a new series of devices with a power of 5-20 kVA. Delta Amplon RT uninterruptible power supplies are characterized by high efficiency and compact dimensions. Previously, only relatively low-power models were offered in this family, but the new RT series now includes single-phase and three-phase devices with a power of up to 20 kVA. The manufacturer positions them for use in [...]

Several large American stores have begun selling the new compact desktop systems NUC 8 Mainstream-G, which were previously known as Islay Canyon. Let us recall that these mini-PCs were officially presented at the end of May. Intel has released the NUC 8 Mainstream-G mini PC in two series: NUC8i5INH and NUC8i7INH. The first included models based on the Core i5-8265U processor, while […]
The Chinese company Vivo has officially introduced the mid-level smartphone Z1 Pro, which is equipped with a hole-punch screen and a multi-module main camera. A Full HD+ panel with an aspect ratio of 19,5:9 and a resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels is used. The hole in the upper left corner houses a selfie camera based on a 32-megapixel sensor. The rear camera contains three blocks - with 16 million (f/1,78), 8 million (f/2,2; […]
In this issue I will show and explain some of the intricacies of setting up a CMS server in failover cluster mode. TheoryIn general, there are three types of CMS server deployment: Single Combined, i.e. this is one server on which all the necessary services are running. In most cases, this type of deployment is only applicable for internal client access and in small environments where scalability limitations […]
