About a year and a half ago, I started participating in hackathons. During this time, I have taken part in more than 20 events of various scales and themes in Moscow, Helsinki, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Paris. In all these events, I focused on data analysis in one form or another. I enjoy visiting new cities for myself […]
In two weeks, intensive courses on Kubernetes will start: Slurm-4 for those getting acquainted with k8s and MegaSlurm for Kubernetes engineers and architects. There are only 10 spots left in the Slurm-4 hall. There are plenty of interested individuals aiming to master k8s at a basic level. For Ops, who are familiar with Kubernetes, launching a cluster and deploying an application is already a decent achievement. For Dev, the requests and […]
The chapter in which Doctor Web removes the Samsung Magician service DLL, declaring it a trojan, and to leave a request in the support service, you need not just to register on the portal, but also to provide a serial number. Which, of course, doesn't exist, because Dr.Web sends a key upon registration, and the serial number is generated during the registration process by the key — and is not stored ANYWHERE. […]

Artificial intelligence consistently outplays grandmasters in chess, bests champions in Go, shows prowess in poker tournaments, and easily defeats esports players in strategic games. However, AI still struggles to win in real combat situations, yet this is an aspiration, as stated by the U.S. Department of Defense's DARPA. Operating at high speeds under significant loads […]
By approving the use of private microwave networks in "solution 890 or higher," the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) perhaps hoped to push all these private networks into their quiet corner of the market and forget about them. However, it quickly became clear that this was impossible. New faces and organizations emerged, insisting on changes to the existing regulatory platform. They proposed many new […]

Compiler development is a very challenging task. However, with the advancement of projects like LLVM, solving this problem has become significantly easier, allowing even a solo programmer to create a new language close in performance to C. Working with LLVM is complicated by the fact that this system is presented with a vast amount of code, accompanied by scant documentation. In an attempt to address this shortcoming, the author of the material […]
Introduction Digital transformation is encroaching into more and more areas of life and business each year. If a business wants to remain competitive, mere informational websites are no longer enough; mobile and web applications are needed that not only provide users with information but also enable them to perform various functions: acquiring or ordering goods and services, providing tools. For instance, modern banks can no longer simply […]
Design Mail, mail… "Currently, any novice user can set up their free email inbox; they just need to register on one of the internet portals," claims Wikipedia. So, launching your own mail server for this purpose seems a bit odd. Nevertheless, I do not regret the month spent on this, from the day of the OS installation to the day […]
