Results for the online settingThe real complexity lies in the online setting, where jobs arrive dynamically and the scheduler must make immediate, irrevocable decisions without knowing what jobs will arrive next. We quantified the performance of an online algorithm via its competitive ratio, which is the worst case comparison between the throughput of our online algorithm and the throughput of an optimal algorithm that is aware of all the jobs apriori.The standard non-preemptive algorithms fail completely here as their competitive ratio approaches zero. This happens because a single bad decision of scheduling a long job can ruin the possibility of…

Go 1.26 has been released. The latest version of the Google-built programming language enables the higher performing Green Tea garbage collector (GC) by default. It also introduces a change to generic types that simplifies the implementation of complex data structures. Introduced February 10, Go 1.26 can be downloaded from go.dev. The Green Tea GC, included as an experimental feature in last year’s Go 1.25, brings a 10% to 40% reduction in garbage collection overhead in real-world programs that make heavy use of garbage collection, the Go team said. This is because it improves the performance of marking and scanning small…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 12, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking News Threat activity this week shows one consistent signal — attackers are leaning harder on what already works. Instead of flashy new exploits, many operations are built around quiet misuse of trusted tools, familiar workflows, and overlooked exposures that sit in plain sight. Another shift is how access is gained versus how it’s used. Initial entry points are getting simpler, while post-compromise activity is becoming more deliberate, structured, and persistent. The objective is less about disruption and more about staying embedded long enough to extract value. There’s also growing overlap between cybercrime, espionage tradecraft,…

Packaging is no longer just about protecting the packed product. It becomes a branding tool if designed properly. Don’t know how packaging design influences buying decisions? There is no need to worry at all. This guide helps you know the packaging design that influences buying decisions. Packaging design impact on sales and customer perception. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and explore how packaging design influences buying decisions: What Is Packaging Design and Why Does It Matter? The design of the packaging refers to the visual, structural, and functional elements. Take a look at some of the…

Published on: February 6, 2026AI is changing how we build apps. That’s not news. What might be less obvious is how this shift is forcing us to think differently about what actually matters in development. In this post, I want to share my balanced thoughts on AI-driven coding. I’d like to give you my perspective on why tons of new apps on the store isn’t as scary as it might seem, and how AI is making iteration cheaper than ever. I’d also like to explore how the human touch separates polished products from vibe-coded slop when your driven by providing…

What type of impact could quantum computing have on the construction industry? Will it enable us to schedule and build faster? Could it reduce jobsite risk? Could it lead to stronger and more environmentally friendly materials? Let’s explore the potential implications in today’s blog. If you read last week’s Constructech blog, then you know we looked at a large-scale project in Chicago—the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park—that will lead to greater innovation in quantum computing. When completed, the facility will be a destination to bring together companies, researchers, manufacturers, suppliers, end users, and other partners who are working to develop…

To further help bring your ML Kit Prompt API use cases to production, we are excited to announce Automated Prompt Optimization (APO) targeting On-Device models on Vertex AI. Automated Prompt Optimization is a tool that helps you automatically find the optimal prompt for your use cases.The era of On-Device AI is no longer a promise—it is a production reality. With the release of Gemini Nano v3, we are placing unprecedented language understanding and multimodal capabilities directly into the palms of users. Through the Gemini Nano family of models, we have wide coverage of supported devices across the Android Ecosystem. But…

Researchers have directly imaged the electrostatic landscape inside a single moiré unit cell for the first time, using a new atomic-scale sensor built from a single defect in a two-dimensional material. Study: Imaging the sub-moiré potential using an atomic single electron transistor. Image Credit: MZinchenko/Shutterstock.com Published in Nature, the study introduces an atomic single electron transistor (SET) that achieves ~1 nm spatial resolution and a potential sensitivity of 5 μV Hz-1/2. Built on the quantum twisting microscope (QTM) platform, which enables the formation of pristine, scannable interfaces between van der Waals (vdW) materials, the probe can resolve the sub-moiré potential landscape…

A spotlight has been put on NAD+ supplements in recent years, thanks to claims that they can reverse the aging process and keep skin looking youthful. While NAD+ is a coenzyme that’s naturally produced in the body, and its levels do decrease as we age, are these supplements a reliable replacement? Are they are magical as wellness influencers would have us believe?To find out exactly what NAD+ is and if NAD+ supplements can reverse the aging process, we spoke with doctors to learn everything there is to know about this popular wellness trend.What is NAD+, and how is it different…

1. The sticky notification When I have a notification that’s especially important and that I want to make sure not to dismiss until it’s been properly handled, it now gets set to be sticky — which means even if I accidentally swipe it away or hit the button to dismiss all notifications, it comes right back instead of vanishing into the ether. A sticky notification will always come back, even if you accidentally dismiss it before you’re ready.JR Raphael, Foundry 2. The shareable notification Sometimes, a notification has info in it that’d be helpful to save or share somewhere without…
