New features include an improved .NET runtime, support for next generation hardware, and general developer productivity improvements.

An article in Wired Magazine argues that "Science Conferences Are Stuck in the Dark Ages." I agree — but there's some light in the darkness!

Linux 6.15 Memory Management improvements

The upcoming version of Linux will incorporate many memory management improvements that will make your PC better than before. This pull request, which is already migrated to the main Linux 6.15 Git, incorporates many memory management changes that will achieve that goal of making your PC manage memory better than before. As this pull request mentions a possible Linux 6.15 RC1 release by just a title, we expect that this release candidate will be released on April 6th.

A new command-line options, hugetlb_alloc_threads, has been added to the Linux kernel that allows you to choose how many threads are in use, with the default being a reasonable 25% to make your computer boot up faster. This is when allocating a large number of huge pages, which will see around 2.75x to 4.3x speedup on Skylake and Cascade Lake systems.

Alongside with this change, there is another interesting patch series that revolved around making the huge pages allocator more reliable than before. It reduces fragmentation to allow larger requests to be met more quickly, while making the operation cheaper.

In the pull request linked above, you can find a list of patch series that are merged to the Linux 6.15 source code.

[Перевод] Идеи ничего не стоят

Команда Spring АйО перевела статью одного из создателей Hibernate, в которой он объясняет, почему ему часто приходится отвергать новые и хорошие идеи, и почему это на самом деле не означает, что он является врагом всего нового.
