The yet-to-be-officially-released Intel Core i9-9900T processor has been tested multiple times in the popular benchmark Geekbench 4, according to Tom's Hardware, allowing us to evaluate the performance of this new model. To start, it's worth noting that Intel processors with a 'T' suffix have reduced power consumption. For example, while the Core i9-9900K has a TDP of 95W, and […]
AMD continues to improve the Btver2/Jaguar compiler code for performance optimization. Surprisingly, Sony has played a huge role in this. The Japanese corporation uses LLVM Clang as the default toolkit for its PlayStation 4. Recall that the console is built on the hybrid 'red' Jaguar chip. Last week, there were updates to the targeted Jaguar/Btver2 code […]
The article begins with a description of possible reasons for the undervaluation of specialists, which can be read by following the 'link'. III Confronting the reasons leading to undervaluation. The virus of the past is incurable – it won't go away until it takes its toll. However, it can and must be resisted – complications should be prevented. Elchin Safarli. (Recipes for Happiness) By identifying the signs and nature of the issues leading to the undervaluation of specialists in workplaces […]
Quietly and inconspicuously, a new version of the popular Haskell language compiler has been released. Among the changes: Support for profiling on 64-bit Windows systems. GHC now requires LLVM version 7. The fail method has been completely removed from the Monad class and is now in the MonadFail class (final part of the MonadFail Proposal). Explicit type application now works for types themselves and not […]
Bastien Nocera announced a new memory shortage handler for the Gnome desktop. Written in C. Licensed under GPL3. The daemon requires kernel 5.2 or newer. It monitors memory pressure via /proc/pressure/memory, and when a threshold is exceeded, it sends notifications via dbus to processes to curb their appetite. Additionally, the daemon can attempt to maintain system responsiveness by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger. […]
On August 25, 1991, after five months of development, 21-year-old student Linus Torvalds announced in the comp.os.minix newsgroup the creation of a working prototype of the new operating system Linux, marking the completion of the porting of bash 1.08 and gcc 1.40. The first public release of the Linux kernel was presented on September 17. Kernel 0.0.1 was 62 KB in compressed form and contained […]
Red Hat developer Bastien Nocera has announced a potential solution to the memory shortage problem in Linux. This application, called Low-Memory-Monitor, aims to address system responsiveness issues when RAM is limited. It is expected that this program will enhance the experience in the Linux user environment on systems with minimal memory. The operation is straightforward. The Low-Memory-Monitor daemon monitors memory usage and […]
Enlightenment is a window manager for X11. Improvements in the new release: An additional option for taking screenshots. The build system is now Meson Build. Music Control now supports the rage mpris dbus protocol. Support for Bluez5 has been added with an updated module and device. An option to enable and disable dpms has been introduced. When switching windows with Alt-Tab, they can now also be moved. […]
28 years ago, Linus Torvalds announced in the comp.os.minix newsgroup the creation of a working prototype of a new operating system, Linux. The system included ported versions of bash 1.08 and gcc 1.40, making it self-sufficient. Linux was created in response to MINIX, whose license did not allow the community to conveniently share developments (at that time, MINIX was positioned as educational and […]
Bastien Nocera has announced a new memory shortage handler for the GNOME desktop — low-memory-monitor. The daemon assesses memory availability via /proc/pressure/memory and, upon exceeding a threshold, suggests to processes via DBus the need to temper their resource usage. Additionally, the daemon may attempt to maintain system responsiveness by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger. Combined with the work done in Fedora on implementing zram […]
In this humorous tale, I wanted to imagine what a "hack" of a washing machine might look like in the near future using a voice interface, intelligent systems, and ubiquitous donations. I couldn't sleep. The smartphone showed 3:47, but it was already quite bright outside the summer window. Yarik kicked off the edge of the blanket and sat up. * "I won’t get enough sleep again; I'll be going […]
