Хабр, и снова здравствуй) На связи Алексей Боровиков, архитектор Astra Cloud. Тут такое дело, мы выкатили мажорный релиз нашей облачной платформы. Работа была проделана колоссальная, я не буду писать все изменения, иначе это будет не статья, а книга. Поэтому решил сфокусироваться на одном компоненте и рассказать, как мы его сделали и почему. Речь идет про IAM — Identity and Access Management. Он отвечает на главные вопросы облачной безопасности: кто, что сделал и имел ли на это право. Итаааак…

Jimi Famurewa, restaurant critic and food journalist, travels to Edinburgh, London and Manchester eating at the female-fronted cafes and bistros reviving regional comfort food favourites, passed down through generations. Starting with soda bread and a fry-up cooked by Irish-born owner Claire Hanrahan at her bistro Norah, named after her late grandmother. Onwards to Bara, where Cecily Dalladay and Zoë Heimann are celebrating the Welsh ingredients they grew up with and feed Jimi a hearty Caerphilly cheesesteak. Finally he visits Auntie Lou’s, where Emily Witts recreates her grandmother’s recipe for scones with apricot jam and cheese.

Based on a short story by the Goosebumps author, this derivative but tautly plotted tale over-relies on Scooby-Doo-style sleuthery, and its truly unsettling turn comes too late

Adapted from a 1999 short story by Goosebumps’ RL Stine, this kid-proofed piece of midwestern folk horror borrows merrily from The Wicker Man, Stephen King and Tim Burton. Rattling those influences around in its horn of plenty, it rigs up a taut enough plotline about a New York family arriving in the suspiciously fecund farming outpost of Redhaven. But, even given the horror-lite nature of the enterprise, it doesn’t stake out sufficient fresh territory of its own – until it’s too late.

Snotty skate rat Sam (Bean Reid) moves to Redhaven with his mum, Cassie, (Kendra Anderson) and older brother Finn (Seth Isaac Johnson) where, hitting the local harvest festival, they learn that ornery Farmer Palmer (Kevin McNulty) is the one responsible for miraculously wringing out fresh bounty from the town’s once-blighted fields. Vexed at finding himself in the sticks, Sam decides to steal Palmer’s prize pumpkin – but when Finn returns it, he is magically trapped inside. All the adults seem to forget Finn ever existed, leaving Sam until midnight on Halloween to break the curse.

Chloe Moffat, 26, killed herself after disciplinary proceedings that coroner in Surrey found be to be flawed

The Treasury “materially contributed” to the death of Chloe Moffat, a 26-year-old personal assistant who took her own life after facing disciplinary proceedings, a coroner has found.

Anna Crawford also found there was a risk of future deaths within the civil service from flawed handling of disciplinary proceedings. She said she would send a prevention of future deaths report to the head of the civil service, the Treasury, and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas).

Ninety vehicles confiscated in weekend operation including rare Ferrari Monza SP2, driven by someone without insurance or full licence

A police officer got the opportunity to drive an open-top limited edition Ferrari in Mayfair, London, after the car was seized as part of a record-breaking crackdown on uninsured vehicles and dangerous driving.

The Dubai-registered supercar, worth £3.7m, had been in the UK for just a day when it was confiscated by the police because it was being driven by someone with a provisional licence and no insurance.

20 Years, 1 Mission
Meet Qodana Lead Alex Gopachenko

Twenty years is a lifetime in software engineering. Languages rise and fall. Frameworks become obsolete. Entire categories of developer tools appear, dominate the industry, and quietly disappear again. Yet through two decades of change at JetBrains, one engineer has remained focused on a remarkably consistent problem.

How do you help developers build better software?

This year marks Alexey Gopachenko’s twentieth anniversary at JetBrains. During that time, he has founded products including PhpStorm and WebStorm, helped build the analytics platform that today underpins product decisions across JetBrains, and helped Kateryna Shlyakhovetska with the evolution of Qodana from an internal idea into JetBrains’ code quality and security platform.

Looking back, however, Alexey doesn’t see those as separate achievements. “The funny thing is that from the very first day I became a JetBrains employee, I started making Qodana.”

At first, the statement sounds impossible. Qodana wouldn’t officially become a product until more than a decade later. But as Alexey explains, the foundations were already there.

Connect With Alex

Before Qodana had a name

Alexey joined JetBrains in 2006 as one of the first full-stack developers on TeamCity. His job was to export inspection results from IntelliJ IDEA into TeamCity, allowing engineering teams to monitor code quality as part of their build pipeline.

He built quality gates, inspection reports, project health dashboards and code coverage metrics before those ideas became common practice. “I was designing reports for inspection runs. If IntelliJ analyzed itself, you’d get one hundred thousand warnings. We needed quality gates. We needed project health. Looking back, it’s funny. It’s twenty years of making Qodana.”

Although the technology has evolved dramatically, the underlying mission hasn’t changed. “The purpose stayed the same. We need to make a sandbox where developers can experiment, but keep the quality.”

Changing PHP by building better tools

Alexey’s next challenge would become one of JetBrains’ defining success stories. As the creator of PhpStorm and later WebStorm, he wasn’t trying to build another IDE. His ambition was much simpler. He wanted PHP developers to experience what Java developers already had inside IntelliJ IDEA.

“I was fascinated with IntelliJ IDEA. You touched it and it just clicked immediately. I think many of our customers know that feeling. It’s like, ‘Shut up and take my money.'” At the time, PHP had a reputation for poor tooling. “It didn’t have good debugging. It didn’t have good tools,” says Alexey. The team set out to change that.

What followed was far more influential than a successful IDE. PhpStorm introduced advanced type inference, inspections and code intelligence that helped establish conventions across the PHP ecosystem itself. “We helped PHP become tool friendly.”

Some of those conventions would eventually influence features adopted by the language itself. It is an unusual example of tooling shaping a programming language rather than simply adapting to one.

Learning that data beats intuition

As PhpStorm matured, Alexey encountered a problem many product leaders eventually face. The obvious improvements had already been made. Choosing what to build next became significantly harder.

“At some point, those easy projections ended. You need much tighter feedback. You need to measure user interaction. You need to measure quality.” That realization fundamentally changed how he thought about product development.

“I have to make a conscious effort to understand that I’m maybe not a good proxy for a customer.” Instead of relying purely on instinct, Alexey helped build the analytics platform that now supports product teams across JetBrains.

He laughs when describing those early years. “Before that we were developing our super complex John Deere-type combine and dropping it into the wilderness. We designed it to harvest potatoes, then discovered people were trying to cut bananas with it.”

The lesson was simple: You don’t improve products by assuming how customers work, you improve them by observing how they actually work. “Sometimes people pulled rank. Sometimes we agreed to disagree. It was unproductive. Obtaining the data helped with that dramatically.”

Alex had also initiated the PHP Foundation, an achievement by anyone’s standards – coming with the idea, securing the initial funding, and bringing in the first Executive Director; the community took it from there. Today the Foundation supports more than a dozen full- and part-time core developers. Best karma I’ve earned at work.

The customer conversation that created Qodana

Although the technology already existed, the product still didn’t. That changed during a customer visit to a large online retailer that supported creators globally. Alexey suggested bringing TeamCity’s inspection capabilities into the company’s development process.

The engineers loved the idea. Unfortunately, they couldn’t adopt TeamCity itself. Their software delivery platform had evolved in a different direction. Standing outside afterwards with colleagues overlooking New York, the solution suddenly became obvious.

“We stepped back, looked at the bridge and the water, and realized: we need to take this part out.” Instead of selling an entire CI platform, JetBrains could separate the quality engine and allow it to integrate into any pipeline. That insight became Qodana.

AI has changed the problem, but not the mission

Today, software engineering faces another transformation. Developers generate more code than ever before. Alexey doesn’t believe the biggest challenge is quantity.

“Now every engineer produces ten times more code. The code is syntactically perfect… but the problems become harder.” Security, data flow, architecture, lifetime management.

These are the issues AI struggles to reason about consistently, and the areas where deterministic analysis becomes even more important. Alexey believes organizations need something AI alone can’t provide: repeatability, auditability and deterministic quality controls. “We don’t resell compute” he says. Instead, Qodana aims to provide engineering teams with reliable, repeatable safeguards that work regardless of how code is produced.

Twenty years later

Looking back across two decades, Alexey’s career appears remarkably consistent. PhpStorm professionalized development for one ecosystem. JetBrains Analytics changed how products are built internally.

Qodana is now redefining how organizations approach software quality in the age of AI. The technologies changed but the mission didn’t.

“We try to build the best tooling for JetBrains itself. Then we make it exportable so other companies can use it too” says Alexey. Twenty years after joining JetBrains, Alexey Gopachenko is still asking the same question he started with. How do we help developers build better software? Only now, the answer matters even more than it used to.

Всем привет! На связи команда BI-практики GlowByte.

У нас прошел внутренний хакатон AI Seasons. Он вдохнул жизнь в корпоративное обучение и дал участникам ощутимую бизнес-ценность. Хочу поделиться этим опытом и подкинуть вам идею для масштабирования истории у себя. Ниже расскажу подробно, а пока вкратце опишу основную идею, как это реализовали у нас в GlowByte.

Итак, мы взяли вымышленную розничную сеть «МегаБайт» с сотнями магазинов и миллионами заказов. Поставили перед командами задачу реализовать DWH/BI-кейс, решать задачки нужно было с помощью ИИ. На старте участвовали 28 команд, до финиша добрались три: было по-спортивному напряжённо, горячо и энергично, так что не все смогли потянуть битву в таком темпе.

Под катом я расскажу:

● как устроен наш хакатон;

● как оценивались задания;

● какие ошибки мы допустили;

● что было ценного и что мы уже забираем в текущие рабочие процессы.

Будет здорово, если вам зайдет тема и организуете подобный «боевик» для специалистов у себя. Потом обязательно поделитесь в комментариях! 

Недавно мне показали фото свеженамазанной платы от клиента. Выглядело изделие как попытка пьяного кондитера нарисовать зодиакальное поздравление. На вопрос о сути происходящего, технолог выдал универсальный ответ: «Паста плохая». Спойлер – попутный визит нашего наладчика показал, что паста ни при чем. Виновником был трафарет новенького принтера, который, как в анекдоте про бабку и врача, тоже надо мыть. Не последнюю роль сыграла и влажность в цеху, пляшущая на 50% туда-сюда, в зависимости от того, открыта ли дверь на склад.

Релейная защита и автоматика (РЗА) является главным элементом безопасности любой энергосистемы. Сбои в работе питания, возникновение коротких замыканий, неселективная работа защит могут остановить не только работу предприятия, но и целых городов и даже стран, как было в истории с блэкаутом в Испании в 2025 году [1]. Поэтому, чтобы избежать таких случаев, от РЗА требуются максимального быстродействия, точности и надежности.

Модели REPEAT VISION позволяют подробно изучить структурные схемы и принципы действия защит, а также проводить эксперименты, моделирование аварийных случаев и подключение к терминалам защит. Ранее мы писали о моделировании электроприводов в REPEAT VISION [2]. Давайте разберем, как моделирование систем РЗА применяют для тестирования и предупреждения аварийных ситуаций на примере высокочастотной дифференциально-фазной защиты (ДФЗ) линий электропередач.

Каждая вторая статья про «алгоритм Threads 2026» держится на цифрах, которых никто не показывает. Я решила посчитать сама и заодно проверить, переживут ли выводы тест на случайность.

200 аккаунтов русскоязычных маркетологов, 16 724 поста. После чистки осталось 4 848 профессиональных постов от 103 авторов. Метод — нормализация внутри автора плюс перестановочный тест. На четырёх признаках из двенадцати это переворачивает знак эффекта относительно наивного подсчёта.

Результат неприятный: три самых частых приёма у маркетологов работают в минус, а приём с самым сильным плюсом встречается всего в 6% постов.

Дальше — сбор данных, метод с кодом и точными p-value, результаты и раздел про ограничения, которых тут хватает.

From the last days of the Titanic to desperate romantics, we rate the work of a British master of black comedy

Bainbridge’s novel of the last days on RMS Titanic was acclaimed and popular (“They probably thought it was the book of the film,” she said), and the scenes of the sinking are brilliantly delivered. “There is about me an element of showmanship,” says one character, but Bainbridge’s own showmanship is muffled here by her need to stick with facts, meaning the novel lacks the humour, fluidity and eccentricity of her others. And unlike her earlier books, the final tragedy never feels personal to the characters.

There are profound rewards of handwritten correspondence in our digital age

I sent my first postcard, as a six-year old, to Olympian Mary Lou Retton, who returned an autographed black and white photo of herself in a wide smile and chic haircut. “‘GOOD LUCK USA ‘84” it said.

There followed four relatively fallow decades for me as a postcard sender or receiver until last year, when I became enchanted by the infinite possibilities available in four by six inches.

From One Night Only to The Invite, a wave of new movies are a raunchy antidote to gen Z celibacy

The first alarm bells sounded nearly 10 years ago, and since then, a deluge of books, podcasts and roundtables has tried to get at the bottom of the problem: why is gen Z not having sex?

Recently it’s as though culture has been recalibrated to make up for the youth’s apparent frigidity. “Smut” literature is on the rise, prestige TV is now depicting OnlyFans models, and indie films have taken a turn towards kink. This summer, through confused young protagonists and their sexual misadventures, the movies are zeroing in on generational attitudes about sex.

Los Angeles offers one of the most vivid examples of our nation’s broken housing system: a quintessentially American expanse of traffic-clogged roads and single-family homes, coupled with the highest home-price-to-household-income ratio of any major city in the country.

To moderate prices, LA urgently needs to build more homes by allowing more density in its neighborhoods — but much of the city’s leadership has vigorously opposed it. Nowhere has that been more evident than in the fight over SB 79, a landmark California law that overrides local zoning to permit taller, denser housing near major transit stops. LA’s city council and its incumbent mayor, Karen Bass, have opposed it and sought ways to avoid complying with it. 

Now, as Bass seeks reelection, mayoral candidate Nithya Raman — one of the city’s, and perhaps the country’s, strongest advocates for building more housing — wants to oust her.

Raman has gained unusual traction in a city long resistant to growth and has become a nationally prominent YIMBY. How to accommodate LA’s need for more housing, Raman told Vox in a recent interview, is “a question that the city has actually turned away from.” She believes she can do better.  

Earlier this summer, Raman advanced in LA’s mayoral primary, setting up a November runoff against Bass. The race has resonated far beyond Los Angeles, because Raman is making one of the defining problems in American life — the punishing non-affordability of our most productive cities — the centerpiece of her campaign. Its outcome could shape the future of housing in America’s most populous state and help determine whether LA can become the engine of California’s pro-housing turn, or its most potent obstacle. If she succeeds, she might cut a path forward for better housing policy in high-cost blue cities elsewhere.

Just as core to Raman’s appeal is a commitment that’s often seen as at odds with housing abundance. She is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and a forceful champion of tenant protections, including rent control. (Her relationship with the DSA is complicated, however.) She helped shape a stricter rent stabilization formula that was adopted in LA late last year, though it was strongly opposed by rental property owners. 

Many housing policy experts, as I recently wrote, believe rent control can worsen the housing affordability crisis it aims to solve, because it tends to reduce the supply of rental housing. But in high-cost cities and states, interest in it has been surging nonetheless. A rising cohort of progressive politicians, including Raman and Zohran Mamdani in New York City, believes cities must protect current renters from price shocks and displacement while adding housing supply. In doing so, they hope to mount the kind of political support that has long eluded YIMBYs.   

I spoke with Raman about how she thinks about these competing interests, and how she intends to combine them to make a meaningful dent where her predecessors have failed. I was struck by how cautiously she discussed one of the city’s most politically explosive housing policy questions — densifying single-family neighborhoods. Though she has previously pushed for legislation allowing midsize apartment buildings in some wealthier single-family neighborhoods, she emphasized gentler, more gradual change in our conversation. It reflected the core paradox facing housing reformers in LA and nationwide: the need for sweeping change, and the political pressure to make it feel gradual.

Our conversation, condensed and edited for clarity, is below.

You’ve gotten an enormous amount of traction on housing issues in LA. If you win the election, then what? 

When I’m asking for-profit developers and affordable housing developers alike, “What is your biggest barrier to building in LA?” they say that the city of LA is their biggest barrier to building in LA. Whether it is extraordinarily long permit approval timelines, whether it is the failure of the Department of Water and Power [DWP] to be a good partner and to provide real predictability in the building process, both in timelines and in costs. The city of Los Angeles stands in the way of new housing. 

As mayor, I want to do everything in my power to change that. I want to set deadlines by which departments have to respond to applications. I want to bring DWP to the table early and to ensure that they’re a predictable partner for new development. I want to make sure that departments that need to talk to each other are talking to each other quickly and early on in the process, as opposed to providing conflicting answers and taking months and even years to respond. These are all within the power of the mayor to influence and things that this mayor has ignored.

Sometimes rent control and renters’ rights on one hand and new housing production on the other are treated as rival agendas, yet you have made them both central to your politics. What connects them for you?

I don’t think that you can have lower rental costs in a city like Los Angeles without having more housing being built. This is a city that has resisted the construction of new housing for decades, explicitly restricted new apartments from being built in many, many parts of the city for a very long time. We have among the fewest homes per adult of any major city in America and the highest rent-burdened population of any city in America, and to me those two facts are very deeply connected. We can’t really lower rents unless we have more housing here, and lower rents are a big part of how you protect renters.

LA has a rent control system, and you were a champion of a change that tightened that system last year. Do you worry at all that tighter rent control could do damage to housing supply through some of the well-documented mechanisms, like causing landlords to convert apartments to condos? Is that in tension with the goal of increasing housing supply?

Housing built after 1978 cannot be subject to rent stabilization [in LA]. So, making sure that renters in older buildings are protected and trying to incentivize new housing from being constructed to me are not in conflict with one another.

You talked about landlords potentially exiting the market. We’ve also heard concerns from apartment associations and from neighborhoods that there’s been increasing corporatization of housing, that smaller landlords are selling to larger corporate landlords, that being a mom-and-pop landlord is becoming increasingly unfeasible. What we’d love to see is more data on that. And, if that is actually happening, if we are driving landlords out of the market through these changes, if smaller landlords are selling to large corporate landlords, I want to know, and we should be looking at the impacts of this policy accordingly.

I’m very open to learning more. But, so far, what I see is that we have an extremely unaffordable city where all the data has shown us that rents have risen higher than incomes for a very long time. The regulations that we put in place are really trying to ensure that struggling renters are still able to stay in LA.

Is there one specific, concrete housing policy mistake made by Mayor Bass that you would point to? How would you have handled it differently?

There has been an overall lack of urgency in addressing housing supply in [Bass’s] administration, exemplified by the fact that we have not had a deputy mayor of housing for years.

The city has actually opposed and written letters to state officials pushing back against new mandates to build more housing. Instead of telling Sacramento, “How do you want to build that housing?” and trying to shape state laws to suit us — the largest housing market in the entire state — those laws should be written with our input, not written with our opposition. 

I think the most stark example [of Bass’s failures on housing] is this: We’ve had 100 percent affordable housing projects like Venice Dell that are fully funded, that the city has sued and opposed and stalled for years.

To what degree do you think that LA voters see the housing affordability crisis as a problem caused by a lack of supply — a housing shortage? 

I think there is a growing consensus that supply is part of the problem and is driving the cost of housing. It’s not universally necessarily agreed upon, but I think if you were to ask people, “Is there a housing shortage? Is there a shortage of housing you can afford?” everybody would say yes.

Why should renters trust private developers?

I think that renters should trust the city to regulate private development such that we actually are building what we need here in LA and such that new building is actually enhancing what people love about their neighborhoods. I don’t think it’s the job of renters to trust developers. They need to trust that their city is going to make sure that we’re working hard to build neighborhoods that are beautiful, and welcoming, and beneficial, and can help families thrive. 

That’s part of why I talk about production and protection always in the same breath. If you see that new construction is going to displace you, I think you’re less inclined to support it or to accept it. But if you feel secure in your current housing, and you know that you’ll be able to stay there, then new housing is less of a threat and can actually be a boon for a neighborhood.

That relates to an argument I’ve heard a lot: that tenants who feel protected from displacement by rent control and eviction protections will be less afraid of new development and more willing to support it. Have you seen evidence of that happening in LA?

There is a very broad coalition of people who are fighting for more housing now, a much broader coalition than I’ve seen in many other places. And it includes renters’ rights organizations that have historically been some of the strongest advocates for tenant protections. They’re actually in council chambers testifying around the need for more density across the entire city, particularly around transit hubs. 

Do you see rent control as a temporary bandaid on a broken housing market, or is it something that should have a permanent place in housing policy?

I think protections against rent gouging are really important, and I think regulation in the housing market is really important. As a city, we have to be very careful about how we regulate these markets so that we are eliciting the best results and outcomes for our residents. I’m going to follow the research, and I’ll always engage with these issues closely. 

The Democratic Socialists of America, of which you are a part, has talked about wanting to “de-commodify” housing and take it out of the private market. The DSA’s Housing Justice Commission says, “the housing market is not necessary.” Do you think that’s a good idea? 

My approach to these issues is driven by how I can help Angelenos who are dealing with spiraling costs that’s driving working families out of the city. The city saw, I believe, a 16 percent drop in people under 18 over the past few years, because families cannot afford to live here anymore. That is a travesty for the city of Los Angeles. 

My question as I approach this is about what I can do to ensure that we can keep people here. We can build new housing through publicly funded housing. I want to be able to make sure that people who will never be served by the private real estate market have support from the city to rely on that can help them stay, whether that’s in the form of housing vouchers, whether that’s in the form of social housing, whether that’s in the form of permanent supportive housing or new public housing.

I’m supportive of measures that are bringing public dollars to the table to build. However, the money that we have available to us will never be able to satisfy the extraordinary demand that there is for new housing in Los Angeles. So now, we have to rely on the private real estate market to make housing available and affordable to a much larger number of Angelenos. 

Rent control primarily protects tenants who already occupy apartments that are covered by rent control. But building more housing is partly about people who don’t yet have a foothold in LA and who would move there if they could afford it. Is it possible to build a housing politics that gives those future residents real weight, even though they don’t vote in city elections?

I think that’s the question of this election in many ways. That’s been the question of my politics. But it’s not just about the future; it is also about our present. It’s also about parents whose children can’t live near them anymore, because it’s too unaffordable here. It’s about rising homelessness, which is inextricably connected to the cost of housing. All the impacts of not having housing are already felt by Angelenos. 

So much of LA is single-family homes, and there’s been research finding that the city’s housing shortage can’t be filled without densifying single-family neighborhoods. Is that politically possible?

Some of the largest numbers of new units being built are actually ADUs, which are densifying single-family neighborhoods. And duplexes and triplexes and other kinds of interventions are in many places already legal to build. That’s been happening and, largely, been non-controversial in neighborhoods. 

Around certain transit hubs, I think potentially greater density will be allowed in single-family neighborhoods through SB 79. So I think some single-family neighborhoods will have to change. But what I’m seeing in LA is a gradual process of adding more density that I think, in many ways, can be even beneficial for homeowners, because they’re able to make additional income or accommodate more people on their lots.

Playing their biggest headlining gig to date, the Russell brothers are in a bouncy mood, though their grandstanding rave melodies lose some punch in an outdoor environment

In the age of shortform video supremacy, there has been a great deal of angst about the authentic club music experience being rendered a vapid spectacle. Stop expecting DJs to be social media stars, put your phones away on the dancefloor, close your eyes and lose yourself in the beats, goes the revanchist wisdom.

It’s understandable, but worries about superstar DJs stomping on the face of the pure rave experience are almost 30 years old now. It is decades since the Prodigy, Chemicals, Orbital and Fatboy Slim lit up festival stages and the charts. And anyway, spectacles can be fun – and funny – and so can dance music.

Для запросов с большими IN-списками и высоким statistics_target планирование может занимать сотни миллисекунд, тогда как само выполнение укладывается в миллисекунды. Поэтому ускорение планировщика не менее важно, чем ускорение выполнения. Мы нашли и устранили одну из таких скрытых проблем, и сейчас патч проходит ревью на PostgreSQL Commitfest.

Есть в общении с современными нейросетями странность, которая особенно заметна в голосовом режиме. Человек слышит интонации, паузы, смех, мгновенную реакцию на шутку. Он спорит, задаёт вопросы, возвращается к прежним темам. Система удерживает контекст и отвечает так, что разговор легко воспринимается как встреча с собеседником.

При этом рационально всё понятно: перед нами не человек. Это вычислительная система, и у нас нет надёжных оснований считать, что за её словами существует субъективная жизнь, похожая на человеческую.

Именно здесь возникает необычный психологический эффект. Социальная часть мозга уверенно сообщает: «Там кто‑то есть». Рациональная часть отвечает: «Нет, там вычисление на серверах». Обе реакции возникают одновременно — и обе по‑своему закономерны.

Добавили потоков, а программа стала медленнее? Причина может скрываться в ложном разделении кеш‑линий: потоки работают с разными переменными, но процессор всё равно заставляет ядра конкурировать за один участок памяти.

Разберём, как воспроизвести такую просадку, найти её через perf c2c и исправить без лишнего раздувания структур.
